Administrator's Guide for Linux on HP ProLiant WS460c G6 Workstation Blades

Managing the workstation blade 21
System Management Homepage
This section describes how to view the workstation blade SMH. SMH enables you to view information
generated by the four blade management agents: NIC, workstation, storage, and foundation. To access
SMH, point your browser to either of the workstation blade IP addresses (NIC1 or NIC 2) using HTTPS
and port number 2381.
If your credentials are correct, but you cannot log in to SMH, make the following change to the
workstation blade security options:
1. Go to Control panel > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Security Options.
2. Ensure that Network Access: Sharing and security model for local accounts is set to Classic - local
users authenticate as themselves. This setting is also required for RGS operation, and might have
already been set.
After logging in, the Overall System Status page appears.
Local access to SMH
If you have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected to the Local I/O Cable, you can view SMH using:
• Either of these URLs: https://127.0.0.1:2381 (https://127.0.0.1:2381) or https://localhost:2381
(https://localhost:2381
).
• The Start menu by clicking Start > All Programs > HP Management Agents > HP System Management
Homepage, which opens a browser window pointed to https://127.0.0.1:2381
(https://127.0.0.1:2381
).
HP SIM
The workstation blade is designed to work with HP SIM. If you created a custom Windows® image,
ensure that SNMP and the HP Insight Management Agents for Windows are installed.
HP Rapid Deployment Pack
The HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack is a software deployment solution that facilitates the
installation, configuration, and deployment of high volumes of workstation blades through either a GUI-
based or web-based console. HP Rapid Deployment Pack is designed to automate repetitive tasks such as
configuring and deploying operating system images, configuring network switches, and configuring BIOS
settings. System configuration time is reduced, making it possible to rapidly scale workstation blade
deployments to high volumes.
This section focuses primarily on image capture and image deployment techniques using HP RDP for the
workstation blade.
HP RDP content
HP RDP is based on Altiris Deployment Solution (DS) technology. Functionality specific to HP ProLiant
Systems is added by the ProLiant Integration Module (PIM)-a collection of scripts that have been
predefined for ProLiant systems to perform routine tasks. Interaction with Altiris DS occurs in a GUI or
web-based environment called the Deployment Server Console. The DS Console provides a drag-and-drop
