9 Remote Access Methods and
Monitoring
The HP ProLiant storage server ships with full remote manageability. Several methods of remote access
are provided.
Web-based user interface
The storage server includes a web-based user interface (WebUI) for the administrator to remotely
manage the machine. Of all of the remote access methods, the WebUI is the most intuitive and easiest
to learn and use.
The WebUI permits complete system management, including system configuration, user and group
management, shares management, UNIX file system management, and storage management.
To access the WebUI:
1.
Launch a web browser.
2.
In the URL field, enter:
https://<your server machine name or IP address>:3202/
Extensive procedural online help is included in the WebUI.
Remote Desktop
The storage server supports Remote Desktop, with a license for two concurrently running open sessions.
Remote Desktop provides the same capabilities as being physically present at the server console.
Use Remote Desktop to access:
•
The storage server desktop
•
The Management Console
•
A command line interface
•
Backup software
•
Antivirus programs
•
Telnet Server

remotely. Telnet Server is preinstalled on the storage server, but must be activated before use.
