   • When starting the screen using Java Web Start from the Web browser, a tab remains in the Web browser after starting Web-Based Admin View screen and dialog box. Closing this tab will not cause any problems because it does not operate with the Web-Based Admin View after starting the screen.

   • When starting the Java Web Start screen from the Web browser in an environment where the extended screen provided by the multi-display function of Windows is used, the screen may not start or the screen size may be reduced or expanded.
     In this case, change the screen settings with the following procedure:

     - For Windows 8.1

     1. Select [Settings] - [Control Panel] - [Adjust screen resolution].

     2. Select [Make text and other items larger or smaller]

     3. Select [Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays].

     4. Click [Apply].

     - For Windows 10

     1. Select [Settings] (gear icon) - [SYSTEM] - [Display].

     2. Select [Advanced display settings].

     3. Select [Advanced sizing of text and other items] from [Related settings].

     4. Click [set a custom scaling level] of [Change size of items].

     5. Select the scaling level ranged from 100% to 500% from the pull-down menu. Adjust the level as appropriate for your environment.

     6. Once the scaling level is set, click [OK].

     7. Click [Apply].

Startup from the Web browser (If using Java Plug-in)

1. Start the Web browser on a client.

2. Designate the following URL to access the management server:

   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 "7.2.1 http port number", designate the number.

   Note

   • 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 "3.3.4 Concurrent use of operation management products with different access methods".

   • When you input this to URL, it accesses the running management server. When the primary management server starts, it will connect to the primary management server even if you specify the host of the secondary management server. When the primary management server stops, it will connect to the 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

   • If the above URL is designated, the currently operating management server is automatically selected. When connecting with a designated specific management server, designate the following URL:

     • Startup from the command

       javaws http://<host name>:<port number>/WebStart.jnlp

     • Startup from the Web broswer (If using Java Web Start)

       http://<host name>:<port number>/WebStart.jnlp

     • Startup from the Web browser (If using Java Plug-in)

       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].

   

   Note

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

   • Either of the pop-up warning below may be displayed before the user name input screen is displayed. This pop-up warning is a user verification message when the signed Java application is run with an unlimited access privileges. This does not pose any problem. Press the "Run" button to continue the operation.

     

     

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

   
   

Note

• Do not start Web-Based Admin View for multiple times on a single client.

• If you connect to Web-Based Admin View without JRE installed on a client, the message prompting to install JRE1.2.1 is displayed. In this case, install Java Plug-in listed in "3.1.2 Prerequisite client environment" and then connect to Web-Based Admin View again.

• 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 "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 that an appropriate Java Plug-in is installed by using "Add or delete application" in the control panel. For the supported Java Plug-in, see "3.1.2 Prerequisite client environment". If the Java Plug-in is not installed, or the unsupported old version Java Plug-in is installed, install the Java Plug-in as explained in "Setting up Java". 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 "7.4 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 "7.4 Secondary management server automatic migration".

• If the authentication is failed for multiple times at Step 3, the message 0016 is displayed, and the login process is disabled. Refer to "Corrective action 3" of "Symptom 17" in "Appendix B Troubleshooting".

• When operating with Web-Based Admin View, a popped up screen might be displayed at the back side of other screens.

  In this case, use a keyboard or a mouse to display the screen at the front.
