2.1.1 Grant Users HP SAM Administrator Access

The Domain Administrator and Local Server Administrator are automatically members of the

HP SAM Administrator's Group. It is highly recommended that you update the system by adding

security group or individual name(s) to the HP SAM Administrator access list, instead of using

the

Administrator

account to log in. This helps track who did what and when.

To add other users as HP SAM administrators, go to the HP SAM administrator console and add

these users to the Administrator role. See

“Users and Roles Tab” on page 3-4

for detailed

instructions.

2.1.2 Configure HP SAM System Settings

Log in to the HP SAM administrator console, go to the

System Settings

tab, and make

appropriate changes. See

“System Settings Tab” on page 3-9

for detailed instructions.

2.2

Install and Validate the HP SAM Blade Service

Software

Manually installing this software consists of these steps:

1. “Install the HP SAM Blade Service” on page 2-3

2. “Create the HP SAM Registration Service Configuration File” on page 2-4

3. “Start/Restart the HP SAM Registration Service” on page 2-5

4. “Test the HP SAM Blade Service” on page 2-5

2.2.1 Install the HP SAM Blade Service

■

Log in to the blade PC under an account with local administrative rights and run the

bladesvc-

xx

.msi

file (replace

xx

with

EN

for English or

JP

for Japanese) to install the

service.

■

Stop the service by going to the

Control Panel

(classic view)

> Administrative Tools >

Services

, and look for

HP SAM Registration Service

. If it's running, stop it.

■

Customize the service CFG file to match the HP SAM. Go to the

C:\Program

Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP PC Session Allocation Manager Registration Service

folder

and edit the

hpevent.cfg-sample

file. For details on how to customize this file, see

“Create

the HP SAM Registration Service Configuration File” on page 2-4

.

■

Once the configuration file has been customized, rename (or

Save As

) the sample file to

hpevent.cfg

.
