HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Update 2 Technical Reference Guide

When using HP SIM to connect to HP BladeSystem Integrated Manager servers, the HP SIM CMS does not
display SMH for HP BladeSystem Integrated Manager servers and does not communicate directly with port
2301 or 2381.
Solution: Check the browser security settings or firewall on the systems or switch. If you can use the iLO
remote console to view the system's SMH, then access is being prevented.
To configure the firewall on a Windows system:
1. Select Start→Settings Control Panel.
2. Double-click Windows Firewall to configure the firewall settings.
3. Select Exceptions.
4. Click Add Port.
You must enter the product name and the port number.
Add the following exceptions to the firewall protection:

2301HP SMH Insecure Port:
2381HP SMH Secure Port:
5. Click OK to save your settings and close the Add a Port dialog box.
6. Click OK to save your settings and close the Windows Firewall dialog box.
