web console

JFS_1 — Fri, 26 Mar 2004 03:53:42 GMT

hi,

i'm trying to get an access to my HP9000 server through my Internet Explorer on my Windows PC.

I can ping the server, but i can't get the connection with Internet Explorer.

What do i have to use as address in the explorer : only the IP ? doesn't work...

Thanks
JFS

If you are trying to connect to your HP server you have to have the apache or any web service running.
test with ps -ef |grep apache

or if you are connecting to the GSP, you have to enable the web console in the GSP using the EL command from the GSP.

In both cases http://ipaddresss
should work

Also you should be connecting to the IP of the Web console/GSP not the IP address of HP-UX server itself.

Hi,

A properly configured webconsole can be reached by typing in http://webconsole. That should open the page and start a jave applet.

If that doesn't work, answering these questions might help:
- What is the ip of your webconsole. It should have a different ip than your server.
- Is this the first time you've used it?
- If not, has anything changed?
- If it is, has it been configured?

If this doesn't help, you can reset the webconsole by keeping the button on it pressed and unplugging and plugging the power cable. It should start blinking some lights.

HTH,

Robert

Hi JFS,

Did you configure the webconsole ? The web console must have an different ip-adress as the server.

How to configure the webconsole:

Thanks for all the responses.

- it used to work until i had to reboot the server last week. So i think i don't need to make any new configuration.

- it is a direct connection, there is no external web console with a separate IP Address.

- there must be some processes missing on the server, but i don't know which.
With http://ipaddress, i get no connection.
An Apache process is not running on the server.

I've already used this console in the past.
I remember it was very easy, with the Internet explorer and IP adress...
Now i don't know what's wrong.

Thanks
JFS

hi,

On the console, Press control + B to access GSP.

Login to the GSP

issue the command LS to get the Lan status.
See whether it is UP and Running
See the Web console Port number and try

http://ipaddress:portnumber

Sorry EL will show the current status whether the LAN port access is enabled or disabled and whether you want to change the configuration.

But LS will show you the IP address, subnet and Port Number

Thanks all.

I think i used the wrong terminology ! Sorry for this.

I want to use a LAN-console. No Web Console, because there is no external hardware at all.

I can ping the server, but cannot reach it through my Internet Explorer.

Where do i have to search for the problem ?

Hi JFS,
The LAN console, to the best of my knowledge, uses a seperate IP address than the server itself. You need to get into the GSP to see what it's LAN settings are. At the GSP you can determine the IP of LAN Console and enable/disable access from a browser.

When you get to the console press Ctrl-B to enter the GSP. By default username and password are blank. From the GSP prompt you can type "HE" to get help and LI to list commands.

A couple of helpful commands are:

LS will show you the status of the LAN Console.

EL will allow you to enable/disable access to the LAN/WEB console.

Hope this helps.

Ask your Network Admin to reset or check the port from switch/hub side. Do telnet to that IP for LAN console.
