Remote Access Methods and 

Monitoring

The HP StorageWorks NAS server comes from the factory with full remote manageability. 
Several methods of remote access are provided:

These options let administrators use interfaces with which they are already familiar.

Web based user interface

The NAS 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 NAS server machine name or IP address>:3202/

Extensive procedural online help is included in the WebUI.

Remote Desktop

The NAS 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 NAS server desktop 

The NAS Management Console

A command line interface

Backup software

Antivirus programs

Telnet Server

To access Remote Desktop from the WebUI, select Maintenance, Remote Desktop. For 
additional procedural information on Remote Desktop, see the “Setup Completion and Basic 
Administrative Procedures” chapter.
