tings” on page 63.
To launch P9000 Performance Advisor on your management station:

your management station or remotely over a secure connection, enter one of the following http

• Server name followed by /pa for accessing P9000 Performance Advisor locally on the
management station. For example, http://[server name]/pa

pa.
The P9000 Performance Advisor Login screen appears.
IMPORTANT:
These http address formats are valid only if P9000 Performance Advisor is using port 80
for all its communications. If port 80 is not being used, you must specify the 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.
