NAME
pdweb - start the HP-UX Peripheral Device tool, part of the System Management Homepage Web inter-
face.
SYNOPSIS
Path:
/usr/sbin
pdweb -t
pdweb -F
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Peripheral Device tool (
pdweb) can be used to easily and quickly view I/O devices and
OLRAD cards. It helps manage hot pluggable PCI slots on systems that support adding and replacing
cards without rebooting. On all HP-UX systems,
pdweb will display the I/O devices and can be used to
(re)create device files for a selected device.
The HP-UX Peripheral Device tool user interface uses a Web browser. Executing the
pdweb
command,
with the
DISPLAY variable set and without any options performs the following tasks:
• start the System Management Homepage Web server and
• start a Web client (browser)
An attempt will be made to connect to the browser specified with the BROWSER environment variable, or
Mozilla, or Netscape. The Web browser will be displayed on the X server defined by the
DISPLAY
environment variable. If a running browser is found, it will be used, otherwise a new session will be ini-
tiated. This will only happen if the browser process is running on the same system used to execute the
pdweb command (defined by the DISPLAY variable), unless the -F option is used.
Options
The
pdweb recognizes the following options:
-t Opens the terminal interface for Cards and Devices regardless of the current setting of
the DISPLAY environment variable.
-F Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways. Two security features are overrid-
den by the -F option.
The
-F option forces the client browser to be used or started, even if the X-traffic between
the X-server and the Mozilla browser is not secure.
When
pdweb is invoked by SAM, the -F option is used.
Only a privileged user (root) can execute
pdweb When used with the -F option, a tem-
porary login bypass key will be generated. The bypass key allows the user to access the
Web interface without having to provide login information again.
Only use this option if you are sure the network traffic is secure between the host where
Mozilla is running, and the host in the
DISPLAY variable.
The browser uses URL
http://hostname:2301/ and you may paste this into any
browser if a browser does open with the pdweb command.
