Storage Essentials installation: Cannot open SE Home Page

maxwell_smart — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 19:17:50 GMT

Hello Everybody,

I am installing SE 5.1 with a mgmt server on Win2K3 (blade server BL685c). Everything went OK during SW setup, but when trying to open the homepage from SIM menu, all I get is a Login screen requesting username/password and the system's administrator credentials just can't get in (Login failure). Is there a SP or specific patch to solve this error condition?

Thanks for your comments!

Hello Xavier,
Have you installed the SIM Connector ?
Did you change the SIM MANAGER Password on setup ?

Hello Dude,

Yes, I did install the SIM connector. I went through all the instructions documented in the Enterprise ed. Installation manual (see http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01070444/c01070444.pdf). I didn't change the SIM_MANAGER password since that was commented as an optional step, though. I've tried both credentials: Win2K3 administrator's and SIM_MANAGER's. Neither let me in.

You'll never believe this but I got a resolve on this!

It's to do with the SP installed. Follow instructions 1 to 5 -

I am sorry it took sooo long to answer this thread. thank you so much Jon for your answer. Finally it was an issue on the SW version and had to wait months to get a solution. I guess this is the problem with "free" sofware.
