Product features • Provides security for HP Insight Management Agents using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for Linux and Windows. • Provides web-based applications and security using SSL. • Enables you to configure the trust mode level. • Manages the user system access through the user group account. • Displays all HP Web-enabled System Management Software that provides information to HP SMH. • Common HTTP and HTTPS service for HP Insight Management Agents and utilities, for reduced complexity and system resource requirements • Simplified architecture for implementing HTTP security and HP management updates • Access control through Network Interface Card (NIC) binding and advanced configuration features for individual and groups of users • Broad operating system and browser support Partition Manager To start Partition Manager, a user with Administrator (root) privileges can run the parmgr command with the -b option to bypass the authentication step under HP SMH. To use this feature on HP-UX 11i v1, you must install KRNG11i, the Strong Random Number Generator software for HPUX 11i v1, available from the Software Depot web site at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot. Available IP addresses In HP-UX only, when autostart mode is enabled, any access made through port 2301 detects a change in the list of available IP addresses. In previous releases, SMH would only be accessible using the IP addresses defined at system startup. If new IP addresses were defined then SMH would have to be restarted to use them. With this new SMH feature, any configuration change in the list of available IP addresses, in clustered and non-clustered environments, would automatically reconfigure SMH, restarting it when needed. Environment changes such as enabling a new network card, adding ifconfig aliases, or a cluster package failover would trigger this feature. Alternatively, you can disable this feature by adding the following line to the /opt/hpsmh/conf.common/smhpd.xml file: 0 For more information, go to the Distributed Systems Administration Utilities V1.1 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v2 March 2006 at http://docs.hp.com/en/T2786-90011/ch01s01.html.
