HP System Management Homepage
The HP System Management Homepage (SMH) is a web-based interface that consolidates and
simplifies single system management for HP servers. The SMH is the primary tool for identifying
and troubleshooting hardware issues in the storage system. You may choose this option to diagnose
a suspected hardware problem. Go to the
SMH main page
and open the
Overall System Health
Status
and the
Component Status Summary
sections to review the status of the storage system
hardware.
By aggregating the data from HP web-based agents and management utilities, the SMH provides
a common, easy-to-use interface for displaying the following information:
•
Hardware fault and status monitoring
•
System thresholds
•
Diagnostics
•
Software and firmware version control for an individual server
•
HP Storage 1210m firmware information
The SMH Help menu provides documentation for using, maintaining, and troubleshooting the
application. For more information about the SMH software, go to
