DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Peripheral Device tool (pdweb) can be used to easily and
quickly view I/O devices and OLRAD cards. It helps manage hot plug‐
gable PCI slots on systems that support adding and replacing cards
without rebooting. On all HP-UX systems, will display the I/O devices
and can be used to (re)create device files for a selected device.
The HP-UX Peripheral Device tool user interface uses a Web browser.
Executing the command, with DISPLAY variable set and without any
options performs the following tasks:
· start the System Management Homepage Web server and
· start a Web client (browser)
An attempt will be made to connect to the browser specified with the
BROWSER environment variable, or Mozilla, or Netscape. The Web browser
will be displayed on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment
variable. If a running browser is found, it will be used, otherwise a
new session will be initiated. This will only happen if the browser
process is running on the same system used to exectue the pdweb command
(defined by the DISPLAY variable), unless the option is used.
Options
The recognizes the following options:
Opens the terminal interface for Cards and Devices regardless of the
current setting of the DISPLAY environment variable.
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
Two security features are overridden by the option.
The option forces the client browser to be used or
started, even if the X-traffic between the X-server and
the Mozilla browser is not secure.
When is invoked by the option is used.
Only a priviledged user (root) can execute When used
with the option, a temporary login bypass key will be
generated. The bypass key allows the user to access the
Web interface without having to provide login informa‐
tion again.
Only use this option if you are sure the network traffic
is secure between the host where Mozilla is running, and
the host in the DISPLAY variable.
The browser uses URL http://hostname:2301/ and you may
paste this into any browser if a browser does open with
the pdweb command.
