NAME

       sam - HP System Administration Manager (HP SAM)

SYNOPSIS

       [ login | ]

DESCRIPTION

       The command launches the HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) program for performing system administration on the HP-UX operating system.
       HP SMH is an enhanced web-based program of HP System Administration Manager (HP SAM) in the HP-UX 11i V3 release.   For	more  information,
       see smh(1M).

       If the environment variable is set, the Web-based HP SMH is displayed.  If the environment variable is not set, the terminal user interface
       of HP SMH is displayed.

Deprecation Notice
       The command is deprecated in HP-UX 11i V3 release.  HP recommends you use the command.

   Options
       recognizes the following options.

	      Execute SAM with the privileges associated with the specified
			login.	When used in conjunction with the Restricted SMH Builder is invoked and initialized with the privileges associated
			with the specified login.

			You must be a superuser to use this option.  See below for more information.

	      Invokes Restricted SMH.
			This enables the system administrator to assign limited privileged user access to SMH functionality.  You must be a privi-
			leged user to use this option.	See the section below for more information.

   Restricted SMH
       Generally, SMH requires privileged user rights to execute successfully.	However, through the use of Restricted SMH, SMH can be	configured
       to allow subsets of its functionality to certain non-privileged users or groups of users.

       System  administrators  access  Restricted  SMH	by invoking SMH with the option (see above).  In Restricted SMH, system administrators may
       assign subsets of SAM functionality on a per-user or per-group basis.

       When Restricted SMH is used, non-privileged users are promoted to privileged users when necessary to enable them to execute successfully.

       By default, Restricted SMH executes all applications as privileged user.  However, certain applications,  like  software  distributor  have
       their  own  security  mechanism	and  do  not  follow  the  Restricted SMH security model.  In such cases, the application launched through
       Restricted SMH will be executed with the login ID of the user who invokes it.

       A non-privileged user who has been given Restricted SMH privileges simply executes and sees only those areas  the  user	is  privileged	to
       access.

       All the SMH functional areas require the user to be promoted to be a privileged user in order to execute successfully.  SMH does this auto-
       matically as needed.

       SMH provides a default set of SMH functional areas that the system administrator can assign to other users.

       Restricted SMH applies only to terminal user interfaces.  Restricted SMH does not apply to Web-based GUI (HP SMH) since HP SMH has its  own
       roles.  For more information, refer to the HP SMH documentation available at and the HP SMH product online help system.

   SAM Functional Areas
       SAM has been replaced by SMH.  For more information on the various functional areas, see smh(1M).

   SAM Logging
       All  actions taken by SAM are logged into the SAM log file at The log entries in this file can be viewed using the SAM utility command (see
       samlog_viewer(1)).  can filter the log file by user name, by time of log entry creation, and by level of detail.

Functionality Obsolescence and Changes
       The following functional areas of the previous SAM interface have been removed, changed, or are planned to be obsolete in a future  release
       of HP-UX.  Alternate procedures are listed as appropriate.

       o Trusted systems is planned for obsolescence post HP-UX 11i V3 release.

       o Backup  and  Recovery.  Use the and commands from the HP-UX system prompt.  You can also use backup tools, such as pax(1), from the HP-UX
	 command prompt.

       o Tape Drives.  Add or remove device entries by editing the file or use and commands from the HP-UX command prompt.

       o Terminals and Modems.	Use and commands from the HP-UX command prompt.

       o Uninterruptable Power Supplies.

       o Performance Management.  Monitor the performance of HP-UX using the commands and

       o Process Management.  To manage processes for such functions as stopping, continuing, changing priority, use and

       o Routine Tasks.  Tasks such as shutting down the system and removing files that are large, unowned, or core files are handled by and

       o Run SAM on Remote Systems.  Executing or configuring SAM on remote systems is no longer needed, because all systems are  managed  through
	 HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM).  For more information on HP SIM, see

       o Custom  applications  cannot  be added using SAM.  Any custom application that needs to be added in SAM must provide its own registration
	 files.  The registration file has a specific format.  You can view a sample registration file from

WARNINGS

       cannot be run in the background even if the environment variable is set from HP-UX 11i V3 release.

       The Disks and File Systems area of SAM does not display or configure all the types of devices when the legacy mode of mass storage stack is
       disabled.
