Setting Up Your HP Domain Software

The HP DESMS User Interface

Starting HP DESMS

If this is the ﬁrst time you are running HP DESMS, you must run the

/opt/hpwebsuite/hpsetup startup script ﬁrst.

To start HP DESMS, start the HP administration server by typing

/opt/hpwebsuite/start-admin.

Accessing HP DESMS

To begin conﬁguration of your HP Domain Enterprise Server using HP

DESMS, start a web browser that supports frames and is Java-enabled

(such as Navigator 3.0) on a system attached to your network.

Point the browser to the following URL:

http://hostname:8181

where hostname is the name of the system on which you are running the

HP administration server.

Enter the administration user ID (hpadmin) and password (which you

conﬁgured using the /opt/hpwebsuite/hpsetup startup script).

This URL points to the HP Domain Enterprise Server Management

System (HP DESMS). This is the HP Domain Enterprise Server

web-based administration interface that allows you to:

• Control the HP and Netscape administration servers

• Conﬁgure the Internet ﬁrewall to secure your organization against

intrusion

• Manage central operations and problem management for distributed

systems

• Conﬁgure and administer a system in your management domain

• Monitor, add, modify, and delete nodes in your management domain
