Getting Started Using SCM
Get started using SCM by familiarizing yourself with how to log on, select a node, and
execute a tool.
This procedure walks you through launching several different types of tools from the
graphical user interface and the command line interface. This procedure is optional but
recommended for new users.
To get started using SCM:
Step 1. Log on to the SCM graphical user interface.
a. Open a Web browser on any network client that is connected to your company
intranet.
b. Access the log on screen by navigating to:
https://hostname:50000/
where hostname is the hostname of the central management server (CMS).
c. Enter your User name and Password.
d. Click Log On.
The nodes list appears in the workspace.
Step 2. Select an HP-UX or Linux node with the DTF protocol.
a. From the Nodes tab menu, select All Nodes to load the nodes list in the workspace.
b. Select or clear the check boxes beside the nodes as necessary.
The Tools tab menu replaces the Nodes tab menu after you select a node.
Step 3. Execute the df tool on the selected target node.
a. From the Tools tab menu, expand General Tools and select df.
If this tool isn't available, your authorizations may not be associated with this tool, or
the node selected isn't compatible with this tool.
The tool launch page displays in the workspace.
b. Click Execute on the tool launch page.
The View Task Results screen displays in the workspace.
c. Verify the Status is Complete, and view the results on the Stdout tab.
If the Status is Error, view the error information on the Stderr tab.
Step 4. Select an HP-UX node with the DTF protocol.
a. From the Nodes tab menu, select All Nodes to load the nodes list in the workspace.
b. Select or clear the check boxes beside the nodes as necessary.
The Tools tab menu replaces the Nodes tab menu after you select a node.
Step 5. Execute the Accounts for Users and Groups tool on the selected target node.
