11.

Through the next several screens, configure SMH administrator and security settings as

prompted, and the SMH installation begins.

12.

When the SMH installation finishes, click

Next

in the HP Servlet Container for SMH wizard

screen. Then click

Next

two more times to begin the servlet container installation.

13.

Click

Finish

to complete the servlet container installation.

14.

The HP Partition Manager installation starts next. When it finishes, press any key in the

command window to exit.

15.

Verify that the installation succeeded.

Verifying the installation

To verify correct server configuration and software installation, perform the following simple

tests:

Verify nPartition commands

1.

Perform a local management test by opening a command prompt window and issuing the

following command:

C:\Documents and Settings> parstatus -X

If you run this command on an nPartition, it displays information about the local server’s

nPartition configuration. No error messages should be returned. If you run this command

on a non-nPartition, however, the following message should display (which is the expected

response in this situation, and not an error):

Error: unsupported platform

2.

To verify access and communication with the server, as well as installation of the nPartition

commands, enter the following command:

C:\Windows> parstatus -X -h <mp> -g <password>

where

<mp>

is either the IP address or the host name of the server MP, and

<password>

is the MP IPMI password. This command should result in the display of approximately 10

server attributes, including the server name, model number, and so on. You might experience

a delay of a few seconds, or even a minute or more, depending on network distance between

the management station and the server.

NOTE:

The command in step 2 works only with the IPMI over LAN connection method.

If you are using WBEM/WMI, substitute the

-u

option for the

-g

option shown in step 2.

This also requires copying the WBEM certificate for the remote nPartition into the WBEM

trusted certificate store on the system where the command is being run.

Verify Partition Manager installation

Partition Manager depends on the presence of the nPartition commands. Before proceeding, first

check that the commands are installed correctly by following the procedure in the previous

section.

1.

Verify the Partition Manager installation by launching a web browser and logging in to

SMH on the system where Partition Manager is installed. For example, if you are testing on

the local server, the URL would be

https://localhost:2381

.

2.

To continue the verification at the SMH, on the Tools tab, click

Partition Manager

. If Partition

Manager is running, you will go directly to the top-level view of the local complex (no

additional login is required). If Partition Manager is not running on an nPartition, you are

presented with a dialog asking for one of the following:
