The HP DESMS User Interface
Starting HP DESMS
If this is the first time you are running HP DESMS, you must run the
/opt/hpwebsuite/hpsetup startup script first.
To start HP DESMS, start the HP administration server by typing
/opt/hpwebsuite/start-admin.
Accessing HP DESMS
To begin configuration of your HP Domain Enterprise Server using HP
DESMS, start a web browser that supports frames and is Java-enabled
(such as Navigator 3.0) on a system attached to your network.
Point the browser to the following URL:
http://hostname:8181
where hostname is the name of the system on which you are running the
HP administration server.
Enter the administration user ID (hpadmin) and password (which you
configured using the /opt/hpwebsuite/hpsetup startup script).
This URL points to the HP Domain Enterprise Server Management
System (HP DESMS). This is the HP Domain Enterprise Server
web-based administration interface that allows you to:
• Control the HP and Netscape administration servers
• Configure the Internet firewall to secure your organization against
intrusion
• Manage central operations and problem management for distributed
systems
• Configure and administer a system in your management domain
• Monitor, add, modify, and delete nodes in your management domain
