3. A browser starts and displays the SMH log in screen.
TIP: If a supported Web browser has been installed somewhere other than the default

For a detailed description of the pdweb command, see the pdweb(1M) manpage and the 11i v3
System Administration Guide Configuration Volume.
Accessing the pdweb tool
You must be logged in as root to perform a hardware scan, reinstall device files, or perform any
OL* tasks on slots. To view peripheral devices, you can log in as an unprivileged user.
NOTE: Ensure that the cookies are enabled in your Web to run pdweb. If cookies are not enabled
in your browser, an error message is displayed.
To access the pdweb tool from SMH, follow these steps:
1. Log in to SMH with User Name and password.
2. On the SMH home page, select Tools from the menu bar.
3. On the Tools page, select Manage Peripheral Devices from the Peripheral Devices
submenu.
The pdweb tool displays, with a banner showing Tools → Peripheral devices → Manage
Peripheral Devices.
Alternatively, on the SMH home page, select Peripheral Devices from the System Configuration
submenu.
The pdweb banner displays Home → System Configuration → Peripheral Devices.
NOTE: If pdweb does not display, then it is not installed or you do not have the necessary
permissions to access it.
Log out of SMH when your work is complete. This prevents anyone from accessing your active
session and avoids a potential breach in security.
NOTE:
The SMH session times out if you do not keep it active. You cannot configure the timeout using
pdweb. A message appears to alert you that you are about to be logged out. To return to SMH,
click OK.
Be sure to keep the session active by using the controls within SMH or the Refresh button in
your browser.
Using SIM
You are required to access SIM before you can access the pdweb tool.
To log in to SIM and access the pdweb tool, follow these steps:
1. Open a Web browser on any system that is connected to your company intranet.
2. Access the log in screen at:
http://hostname:280/
Where hostname is the fully qualified host name of the SIM central management server
(CMS).
3. Log in to SIM with name and password.
