Does VSE and SIM go together.. Why do we use both of them..

SO SIM is installed... how do i invoke it and play around

# sim
sh: sim: not found.
[rx26-161]/

[Pete Randall]

You invoke it by specifying the full path name (/opt/sim/bin/sim, for example
- I'm not sure what it really is) or by adding the full path to your PATH variable.

As to how you play around with it, I'll leave that to you.

Point your browser to the servers port 50000.

[David Willams]

# /opt/sim/bin/sim
sh: /opt/sim/bin/sim: not found.
[rx26-161]/
#

I have also tried //x.x.x.x:5000 but it didn't work

[Torsten.]

not 5k, but 50k.

[David Willams]

Tried //x.x.x.x:50000 but did not work

not sure if I correct

# man sim
No manual entry for sim.
[rx26-161]/

[David Willams]

I guess I am missing out something somewhere

# which sim

[David Willams]

Can you Gurus help me troubleshoot this ... and learn HP SIM

[Torsten.]

Currently I don't have access to my test system and even there I have a bookmark ... it is https, isn't it?

[David Willams]

where can I find the VM guest management software for windows and hp-ux... trial version

[David Willams]

Torsten,

>>Regarding SIM - did you try
>>https://server-ip:50000

I have tried that,but still it's not working,looks like I am missing on something.
