Starting TSMC Server on Windows

1.    When you have completed the installation, the TSMC Server and Client software automatically start if you accepted the defaults during the installation. To start TSMC Server manually, go to the Compaq TSMC Server folder in the Start Menu under Programs and select Launch Server.

2.    A TSMC icon is displayed on the taskbar. Moving the cursor over the icon shows the message "TSMC server activated." If you need to deactivate TSMC server, right-click the icon and select Deactivate TSMC Server. Depending on your system configuration, the TSMC Server launch may take up to 45 seconds or more to complete.

3.    Open a browser and enter the following URL:

https://<yourserver>:2381

In the above URL, <yourserver> is the network name of the computer you are trying to access. If you are unsure of the name of the computer, locate the name in System Properties (see Figure2–2). For example, if your computer name is longspeak, type the following:

https://longspeak:2381

6.    The Device Home Page screen is displayed. Locate the Tape Storage Management Console icon on this screen and click it. The Java Plug-In Information screen is displayed.

7.    If you do not have Java installed, a Java certificate is displayed asking you if you would like to install the Java plug-in available from Sun Microsystems. Click Yes and follow the instructions to install Java.

 

NOTE:  If you do not have Internet access, click the link at the bottom of the page to install the Java plug-in. Follow the instructions on the screen. After installing the Java plug-in, restart the computer. When complete, click the Refresh button in your web browser to continue.

 

NOTE:  Now is a good time to verify that your client machine is set up correctly. The Java Plug-in and cache should be verified now in order to prevent potential problems. This step must be performed after the Java Plug-in installation has completed successfully.

8.    The web software comes with a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server certificate. If you have not previously installed this certificate, you may encounter the security alert shown in Figure2–3.

Figure 23:  Security Alert

This security alert requires that you install the certificate. To install the certificate, do the following:

a.    Click View Certificate.

b.    On the next screen, select the Install Certificate option. This option displays the Certificate Import Wizard. The Certificate Import Wizard guides you through the steps to successfully import the certificate to the certificate store on your server.

c.    After installing the certificate, return to the Security Alert dialog and click Yes to continue.

After the certificate is successfully installed, you should no longer see this security alert on any subsequent logins to TSMC.

9.    After the Java plug-in is installed (if necessary), log into TSMC using the web software password. The only user valid for logging into TSMC web software is administrator (all lower case). If you previously had any web software installed or enabled on a ProLiant system and you set the administrator password, use the password that you previously set. Otherwise, use the password administrator.

 

NOTE:  If you are already authenticated, the login screen is not displayed.

10.  You may briefly see a TSMC Client screen with a status bar. This screen disappears and the TSMC Summary screen is displayed. Check the Client status at the bottom of the screen to make sure that you are the primary user (only primary users are able to issue commands to devices; secondary users can only view the screens). You are now ready to start using TSMC.

11.  When you are finished using TSMC, click the Sign Off link in the upper left corner of the screen. On the following screen, click the Logout link.

 

IMPORTANT:  It is important to log off as described in step 11. If you close the browser without logging off, you will have to wait for a 15-minute timeout period before you can log on again as a primary user.
