PRIMECLUSTER Web-Based Admin View Operation Guide

3.2 Screen startup

When all preparations are completed, start the Web-Based Admin View screen.

Procedures:

1. Start the Web browser on a client.
2. Designate the following URL to access the management server:
   • When using Java Plug-in:

     http://<host name>:<port number>/Plugin.cgi

     <host name>

     httpip (host name or IP address used for the client) of the primary or secondary management server.

     The default value of httpip is set to the IP address, which is assigned to the displayed node name as a result of executing "uname -n."

     <port number>

     Enter "8081." If the port number was changed according to "http port number", designate the number.

     

   • If Web-Based Admin View is not activated despite specifying the host name in <host name>, designate the IP Address assigned to the host name directly.
   • The access method may vary depending on the operation management product. Pay close attention when interoperating with the operation management products that employ different access methods. Refer to "Concurrent use of operation management products with different access methods."
   • When not using Java Plug-in, designate the following URL and use Netscape Communicator (except for Netscape6.X or 7.X) since Internet Explorer is not available.
     • http://<host name>:<port number>/WebView.html

     When using Internet Explorer, the 0040 message is displayed or nothing appears on the browser.

   • When you input this specification to URL, it accesses the starting management server. When the primary management server started, it will connect the primary management server even if you specified the host of the secondary management server. When the primary management server stops, it will connect the starting secondary management server.If you want to connect the secondary management server when the primary management server started,specify the following URL to access it.
     • http://<host name>:<port number>/Plugin.html
3. When the Web-Based Admin View is started, the following window is displayed.

   Enter a user name and password registered in the management server and then click [OK].

   

   

   This screen cannot be closed by clicking the [X] button of upper-right corner in the screen.

4. When the authentication terminates, the Web-Based Admin View screen is available.

    

• Do not click the [Forward], [Back] or [Reload]/[Update] button of the browser to change the pages after starting the Web-Based Admin View screen.
• Some browsers might be hung up during operation.
  • If the browser window disappears, restart the browser, and then reconnect to the URL.
  • If the browser does not work (not responsive), reload URL or restart the browser.
  • If the page looks hung-up right after starting the Web-Based Admin View, try to move a mouse on the browser. It might help to continue operation.
• If URL of Java Plug-in is read by Netscape Communicator or Netscape Navigator, a message stating "Click here to get the plugin" may appear. In this case, Java Plug-in may not be installed or a version older than supported Java Plug-in may be installed. Install Java Plug-in as explained in "Setting up Java Plug-in" of "Required for the Web Browser Environment". If you click the "Click here to get the plugin" icon, a dialog box indicating "Plug-in is not read" appears. Select [Cancel].
• If "Welcome to Web-Based Admin View" does not appear after a read of URL by Internet Explorer, an appropriate Java Plug-in may not be installed. Confirm if an appropriate Java Plug-in is installed by using "Add or delete application" in the control panel. If necessary, install the Java Plug-in as explained in "Setting up Java Plug-in" of "Required for the Web Browser Environment". Also, if the "security warning" dialog box appears, and prompts you to decide whether "Java Plug-in" should be installed and executed, select [No].
• If dynamic operation of the secondary server is set in "Secondary management server automatic migration", the active primary management server or secondary management server may be automatically connected regardless of designating URL of the specific monitoring node. For details, refer to "Secondary management server automatic migration".
• If the authentication is failed several times at Step 3, the message 0016 is displayed, and the login process is disabled. Refer to "Corrective action 3" of "Symptom 17" in "Troubleshooting."
• The URL input might not be allowed with Netscape6.X. This problem is due to Netscape, and it's under verification.

  In such a case, resize Netscape by using [Minimize], and then [Restore]. Otherwise, restart the Web browser.
