Installation Manual

HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 Installation Guide 25
IMPORTANT: You must have your license ready to import before you can set up discovery
using the HP Systems Insight Manager’s First Time wizard. If you do not import your Storage
Essentials license before setting up discovery using the HP SIM First Time User wizard,
Storage Essentials cannot run its discovery and the Storage Essentials discovery will fail.
4. Click Finish accepting the default setting: Yes, reboot the system now. The Storage Essentials
server must be rebooted.
Step 6 – Configure Browser Settings
Configure your browser settings for HP SIM and Storage Essentials to function properly. See the
support matrix for your edition for a list of supported browsers. Refer to your browser’s

Step 7 – Browse to the HP SIM Home Page
1. Browse to HP Systems Insight Manager Home Page and wait until HP SIM is fully started. HP
SIM has fully started when you can bring up the Systems Insight Manager Home page. See the
HP SIM documentation for help with starting SP SIM.
2. Start the HP Storage Essentials (AppStorManager) service and change to Automatic.
3. You should now be able to access HP SIM and Storage Essentials from a web browser using
the URL https://<FQDN of localhost>:50000
(for example https://example.domain.com:50000). The host name must be fully qualified. HP
SIM is displayed in the browser window and you are prompted to enter the user name and
password for HP SIM.
NOTE: Do not use the Systems Insight Manager Homepage icon placed on the desktop
after installation. This icon will use localhost to browse to HP SIM. A best practice is to save
a bookmark for https://<FQDN>:50000 to the desktop, edit the properties, change icon,
and browse to <install dir>:\HP\Systems Insight Manager\HPSIM.ico.
4. Supply the login credentials for the user that was used to install HP SIM. HP SIM launches and
the Storage Essentials menus are included on the HP SIM menus.
5. Disregard the HP SIM First Time User wizard until you have imported your Storage Essentials
license following the instructions in the next step.
