3 Getting Started

You can use HP 3PAR System Reporter from the primary web interface or an 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 113)

.

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 23)

).

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, see

“About Apache HTTP Server Authorization and Access Control”

(page 48)

.

If the Apache HTTP Server has been configured to require a password to read the database, a
connection dialog box appears (

Figure 13 (page 51)

). Type the user name and password and

click OK.
