Managing HP Serviceguard A.12.00.00 for Linux, June 2014

1.3 Using Serviceguard Manager
Serviceguard Manager is a web-based GUI management application for Serviceguard clusters.
Serviceguard Manager is used to configure, monitor, and administer Serviceguard clusters, and
Serviceguard Disaster Recovery clusters like Extended Distance Cluster and Metro cluster.
Serviceguard Manager protects critical applications from planned and unplanned downtime.
1.3.1 Launching Serviceguard Manager
Serviceguard Manager runs on 5511 and 5522 ports. 5511 is the http port and 5522 is the https
port. To access Serviceguard Manager the URL must be in the following format:
http://<fully_qualified_domain>:5511/
Serviceguard Manager uses the default keystore (certificate) that comes along with jetty installation.
Update the keystore path in jetty_location/etc/jetty-ssl-sgmgr.xml to your own
certificate; this will make Serviceguard Manager to use the custom SSL certificate for the 5522
port.
Once the Serviceguard Manager login screen appears enter username and password based
on your requirement; either login as root user or sgmgr user or as user with admin permissions.
For information on user types and user roles, see Security section in the online help.
