configure. For more information, see “Configuring P9000 Performance Advisor related set-
tings” on page 62.
To launch P9000 Performance Advisor on your management station:
1. Open a new IE browser window. Based on whether you are accessing P9000 Performance
Advisor locally on your management station or remotely over a secure connection, enter one of
the following http addresses in the browser address line (the P9000 Performance Advisor URL
is case-sensitive):
• Server name followed by /pa for accessing P9000 Performance Advisor locally on the
management station. For example, http://[server name]/pa
• Server name and domain name followed by /pa for accessing P9000 Performance Advisor
remotely over a secure connection. For example, https://[server name].[domain
name]/pa
If you cannot locate the management station using the above-mentioned methods, enter the IP
address of the management station followed by /pa. For example, http(s)://[IP address]/
pa.
The P9000 Performance Advisor Login screen appears.
IMPORTANT:
The above mentioned http address formats are valid only if P9000 Performance Advisor is
using port 80 for all its communications. If any port other than port 80 is being used, you
must specify that port number along with the server name or IP address in the http address
format. For example: http://[server name]:<port_no>/pa or http://[server
name].[domain name]:<port_no>/pa.
