General System Administration HP Partitioning Partition Manager first attempts to access pdweb using ports 1110/1188 and if it is not running it then attempts ports 2301/2381. In most cases SMH is listening on port 2301 and so Partition Manager forwards the request to SMH, but the May 2005 and September 2004 releases of SMH are not integrated with pdweb and instead generate a “page not found” error. To resolve this issue, upgrade to the HP-UX 11i v2 December 2005 release.
