2. In the Server Hostname box, type a host name and click OK.
The host name is the name of the Web server where the Apache HTTP Server and HP 3PAR
System Reporter Web server scripts are installed (see
“Before You Begin” (page 25) ). If the
server is configured for secure connections, check the HTTPS box.
NOTE: You can point the Excel client to a different Web server at any time. See Changing
the Web Server for instructions on changing the Web server.
If the Web server has been configured to require a password to read the database, a
connection dialog box appears (

NOTE: See for more instructions on setting Apache HTTP Server to require a username and
password.
The versions of the System Reporter’s Web server component and the Excel client are compared.
If the data format provided by the server is incompatible with the Excel client, you must choose
a compatible server before the Excel client can be used.
NOTE: If your server version is newer, but still compatible, a dialog appears stating that
some features of the data provided by the server cannot be displayed by the Excel client.
