Configuring and Managing Superdome Partitions
The Partition Manager—A Guided Tour
Chapter 4144
Before Partition Manager is launched, a login dialog will appear,
prompting for a user name and password. Only the superuser is allowed
to run Partition Manager.
Once the user is authorized, Partition Manager will be launched in a
window outside the browser. Additional dialogs for the tasks performed
by Partition Manager will be displayed in new windows (just as though
you were running the program locally). When you request online help,
another browser window (with full browser navigation) will be activated
to display the help topic.
When you are finished using Partition Manager, you must close the
launch page after exiting Partition Manager.
Configuring the Web Server The Apache web server will be
automatically installed and configured when the ObAM Runtime
Environment bundle (required by Partition Manager) is installed.
Apache is currently the only web server supported by the ObAM
Runtime Environment. This server can be used to host any ObAM-based
application.
By default, only systems from the same network domain can access
Partition Manager from the web server. For example, if the server is
running on a partition whose network address is
server.site1.ourco.com, then only systems in the
site1.ourco.com domain will be able to launch Partition Manager on
this server. This access is controlled by the file
/usr/obam/server/conf/httpd.conf.
There are two entries in the file of the form:
Allow from ...
Allow from ...
If Partition Manager was installed during a cold install of HP-UX, these
fields will contain the string insert_domain_here, since the network
domain was not available at the time that the configuration script was
run. In this case, edit this file and replace those strings with the actual
domain name (for example: site1.ourco.com). If you do not do this, no
one will have permission to access Partition Manager via the web.
Additional modifications can be made to these fields to grant other
systems and domains access to the server.
The web server must be activated before it can be used. To activate the
web server, as the superuser run the following HP-UX command:
