AG 5000
58 System Administration
Using the Web Management Interface (WMI)
The Web Management Interface (WMI) is a “graphical” version of the Command
Line Interface, comprised of HTML files. The HTML files are embedded in the AG
5000 and are dynamically linked to the system’s functional command sets. You can
access the WMI from any Web browser.
To connect to the Web Management Interface, do the following:
1.
Establish a connection to the Internet.
2.
Open your Web browser.
3.
Enter the network interface IP address of the AG 5000 (set up during the
installation process).
4.
Log in as usual (supplying your user name and password).
To access any menu item from the WMI, simply click on the item you want. The
corresponding work screen then appears in the right side frame. From here you can
control the features and settings related to your selection. Although the appearance is
very different from the Command Line Interface, the information displayed to you is
basically the same. The only difference between the two interfaces is in the method
used for making selections and applying your changes (selections are checkable
boxes, and applying your changes is achieved by pressing the
Submit
button).
Pressing the
Reset
button resets the screen to its previous state (clearing all your
changes without applying them).
Using an SNMP Manager
Once the SNMP communities are established, you can connect to the AG 5000 via the
Internet using an SNMP client manager (for example, HP OpenView). SNMP is the
standard protocol used in the Network Management (NM) system. This system
contains two primary elements:
‹
Manager – The console (client) through which system administrators
perform network management functions.
‹
Agent – An SNMP-compliant device which stores data about itself in a
Management Information Base (MIB). The AG 5000 is an example of such a
device.
The AG 5000 contains managed objects that directly relate to its current operational
state. These objects include hardware configuration parameters and performance
statistics.
