4 Using the Data Path Module management
GUI
The DPM Management GUI is supported on Microsoft Windows platforms running Internet Explorer
version 5 or greater. To run the DPM Management GUI, install Java WebStart on your management
station. Java WebStart is an application that allows you to download and run a full-featured Java
application, such as the DPM Management GUI, directly from a web page.
The DPM simplifies the task of configuring the management station by automatically detecting whether
Java WebStart needs to be installed when the management station first accesses the DPM. If Java
WebStart is not present on the management station, the DPM can provide a copy of the application
that you can download and install. See “To install Java WebStart” on page 73 and
“To download the DPM Management GUI from a Web browser” on page 75 for more information.
Once you have installed the WebStart application, the web console enables you to access the DPM
Management GUI remotely using your standard web browser. For web browsers already running
Sun's Java WebStart application, skip the next two sections and see
“To log into the DPM Management GUI” on page 76.
NOTE:
Sun Microsystems provides versions of Java WebStart for Windows and other platforms through its
Java website. You may be able to use the DPM Management GUI from non-Windows management
stations using a version of Java WebStart provided by Sun; however, HP only supports the use of the
DPM Management GUI on Windows platforms running Internet Explorer version 5 or greater in
conjunction with the version of the Java WebStart application provided with your Data Path Module.
Installing Java WebStart
For web browsers on Windows platforms that are already running Sun's Java WebStart application,
see the next section “To download the DPM Management GUI from a Web browser”. For web
browsers on Windows platforms that do not yet have Sun's Java WebStart application installed,
follow this procedure:
1. From a web browser, enter the management port (labeled MGMT) IP address as the URL and
press Enter.
