pdweb - Peripheral Device Tool Web Interface

Accessing pdweb

The Peripheral Device Tool can be accessed in any of the following ways:

• from the command line, using the pdweb command;

• from a Web browser, using the URL of a pdweb server that has already been started;

• from the pdweb autostart option;

• from the HP Servicecontrol Manager (SCM);

• from the Cards and Devices area of the System Administration Manager (sam (1M)).

pdweb Command

To launch the Peripheral Device Tool from the command line, use the pdweb command.

Command syntax for pdweb.

pdweb [-h] [-F] [-c]

pdweb -s { start | stop | status | restart }

options When pdweb is invoked without the -s option, both the pdweb server and client components

are started. If the client Web browser is already running, pdweb uses the existing browser

window. The Web browser is pointed to the Peripheral Device Tool login screen.

The pdweb command normally starts both the pdweb server and client components, however,

it can also be used with the -s option to start or stop the pdweb server component without

starting a client Web browser.

Refer to the pdweb (1M) manual page for a detailed description of the command line

options.

Using SCM

One of the ways you can access the Peripheral Device Tool is by using Servicecontrol Manager (SCM) version

3.0 and greater. You can access the SCM graphical user interface from any system on the network using a

Web browser connected to the intranet.

IMPORTANT Be sure to conﬁgure the pdweb autostart port (1110) with waconf (1M) before attempting to

access the Peripheral Device Tool from SCM or Partition Manager.

To log on to the SCM graphical user interface:

Step 1. Open a Web browser on any network client that is connected to your company intranet.

Step 2. Access the log on screen by navigating to https://hostname:50000/ where hostname is the

hostname of the SCM central management server (CMS).

Step 3. Enter your User name and Password.

Step 4. Click [Log On].

Step 5. From the Nodes tab menu, select All Nodes to load the nodes list in the workspace.
