Signing in to the GUI
You can access the HP SIM GUI from any network client using a web browser. For information about which
browsers are supported, see the HP SIM installation guides located at HP SIM 5.2 Installation Guide at http:/
/h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html, and then select the
appropriate guide for your operating system.
NOTE: After accessing HP SIM, if you open additional windows in the same browser using the same HP
SIM URL, you do not need to sign back in to HP SIM. Any time you start a new instance of the browser and
navigate to HP SIM, you must sign-in.
If you sign-in to HP SIM and then navigate to a different site entirely, the HP SIM session times out. If you
use the same browser process to return to HP SIM within 20 minutes, you are not required to sign back in.
