HP 3PAR System Reporter Software - Manual (Page 52)

4 Getting Started
This chapter describes how to start using HP 3PAR System Reporter from the primary web interface
or Excel client.
NOTE: For information on using a Web browser to edit database sampling policies, add or
remove storage servers from the database, schedule reports or optimize storage utilization with
the optional Adaptive Optimization feature, see
“Configuring the System Reporter Policy Settings”
(page 112) .
Accessing the Main System Reporter Interface
You can access the HP 3PAR System Reporter main features using any standard Web browser. A
Web browser is not provided on the 3PAR System Reporter CD.
To access HP 3PAR System Reporter using a Web browser, point your browser at http://
<host_name>/3par/
where <host_name> is the Web server where Apache HTTP Server and
the HP 3PAR System Reporter Web server scripts are installed (see “Before You Begin” (page 25) ).
NOTE: If your Apache Server is configured for secure connections, be sure to precede the address
with https:// (instead of http://) when accessing System Reporter. For complete details on
configuring the Apache Server, please consult
“About Apache HTTP Server Authorization and
Access Control” (page 49) .
If the Apache HTTP Server has been configured to require a password to read the database, a
connection dialog box appears (
Figure 13 (page 52) ). Type the user name and password and
click OK.
