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.

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:
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:
68 Installing the Management Tools
The command in step 2 works only with the IPMI over LAN connection method.
