2 Accessing HP Systems Insight Manager
Insight Control delivers its features as plug-ins to the Systems Insight Manager user interface, which
runs in a web browser. To access these plug-ins, you must sign in and connect to the Systems
Insight Manager management console:
1. Open a browser window.
NOTE: Supported browsers are listed in the HP Insight Software Support Matrix
2. Enter the web address of the CMS using either of the following address formats:
•
http://CMS_fully_qualified_host_name:280/
•
http://CMS_IP_address:280/
The web address comprises the following:
•
The fully qualified host name of the CMS or its IP address
•
The default access port, port 280
For example, if the fully qualified host name of the CMS is earth.example.com, enter the
following web address in your web browser:
http://earth.example.com:280/
3. When the sign-in screen appears, enter the Systems Insight Manager administrator user name
and the associated password.
NOTE: The sign-in screen will have either HP Insight Control or HP Insight Dynamics shown
on it, depending on the software products you installed. If you installed only Insight Control,
HP Insight Control is shown on the sign-in screen. If you installed at least one component of
Insight Dynamics, HP Insight Dynamics is shown on the sign-in screen.
