NOTE If the Peripheral Device Tool is not displayed, then it is not installed or you do not
have the necessary permissions to access this tool. You should contact the
administrator of the SCM central management server to resolve the problem. The
pdweb tool definition file can be found in
/opt/hpwebadmin/htdocs/pdweb/scm/pdweb.xml.
For more information regarding the SCM product, refer to the HP Servicecontrol
Manager documentation, available at http://www.docs.hp.com.
Using SAM
One of the ways you can access the Peripheral Device Tool is by using SAM.
NOTE Be sure that SAM is installed on your system. If SAM is not installed, refer to Software
Distributor Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i B2355-90754 to add SAM to your host system
configuration.
To access the Peripheral Device Tool using SAM:
Step 1. Log in to the host system as root, or as a user with superuser capability.
Step 2. Enter /usr/sbin/sam to start SAM.
Step 3. From the SAM Areas screen, select Peripheral Devices.
Step 4. From the Peripheral Devices screen, select the Cards and Devices icon.
The Peripheral Device Tool appears and you are ready to use the tool.
NOTE If you are using SAM's X interface, then SAM attempts to use an existing Mozilla browser on
the display. If there is none, SAM starts Mozilla on the display. Starting Mozilla can take
several seconds.
If you are using SAM's terminal interface, the pdweb server is started and you can copy and
paste the URL for Peripheral Device Tool into any browser.
