Browser Requirements

The minimum browser requirements include support for tables, frames, Java, JavaScript, and Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.1.

Additional browsers, or the browsers mentioned, used with different operating systems, may or may not work correctly, depending upon their specific implementations of the required browser technologies.

The requirements are TCP/IP and one of the following browsers:

To View Systems RunningBrowser Requirements

    In order to view the SNMP configuration web pages, you have to use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. Netscape Navigator is not supported.

HP recommends that you install SNMP services in order to take full advantage of the management capabilities provided with your ProLiant server. Failing to install SNMP will prevent the HP Systems Insight Manager and other enterprise management applications from receiving hardware pre-failure alerts and will disable HP Systems Insight Manager functions such as advanced Proliant status polling, inventory reporting, and version control.

You must turn on the following options for the HP Insight Management Agent to work properly:

  • Enable Java

  • Enable JavaScript

  • Accept all cookies

HP's Web-enabled System management software requires Java for full functionality. At a minimum, the help system relies on a Java applet to provide the table of contents, index, and search capability. Depending on what web enabled management software is installed there may be other features that are either partially or fully dependant upon the presence of Java support in the browser.

The Sun JVM may be obtained directly from the Management CD produced by HP. The Management CD is shipped with all ProLiant servers and many different server options. In addition, you can obtain a subscription to the Management CD in order to have the latest available software delivered directly to you. For subscription information, refer to http://www.hp.com/servers/manage/ The JVM is located in the directory <cd>\INSIGHT7\JVM\ and is a single installable package. This version of the JVM is qualified for HP Systems Insight Manager and the web enabled management software installed on HP devices.

Java support for Microsoft Internet Explorer can be downloaded from Microsoft. One location to try is http://www.microsoft.com/java/sdk/ where the JVM is contained in the Microsoft SDK for Java. Microsoft Windows Update, http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com, may also provide a Microsoft VM (or updated version of the VM if available).

Java support can be downloaded from Sun for both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. http://java.sun.com is a good location to start from for finding the appropriate download from Sun.

For the Tru64 UNIX Server agents, the Netscape option Accept cookies originating from the same server as the page being viewed can be used instead of Accept all cookies.

Updating Netscape Communicator for Tru64 UNIX Workstations

Update your version of Netscape Communicator by downloading the software from http://home.netscape.com/download.
