Installation Installing Prerequisite Software on a Workstation Perform the following steps before you use HP Web Tools to manage your fabric: ■ Install one of the supported web browsers on a workstation, if not already installed. ■ Configure the web browser for use with HP Web Tools. ■ Install the required Java Plug-in on the workstation, if not already installed. For some workstations, when you first access the switch using Web Tools, the operating system will automatically load the required Java Plug-in and JRE. ■ Install an HP Web Tools license on each switch to be managed from HP Web Tools. Installing a Web Browser If not already installed, install one of the following browsers: ■ Internet Explorer 5.5 (with Service Pack 2 is highly recommended) ■ Netscape 4.77 for Solaris Configuring the Web Browser Specific browser settings are required for the correct operation of HP Web Tools with Netscape Communicator (not supported) or Internet Explorer. Configuring Netscape Communicator Note: Due to decreasing customer demand and an increasing number of significant technical incompatibilities, the combination of the Netscape browser running on the Windows operating system is no longer supported for use with HP Web Tools. Some browsers use local cache copies of .jar files and/or image files to improve performance (depending on the options selected in browser), which can cause incorrect display in HP Web Tools. The web browser cache must be cleared before invoking Web Tools. To remove cached files from Netscape Communicator: 1. Select Edit > Preferences. 2. Click Advanced in the Category box to expand it, then click Cache. 38 Web Tools Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
