Very good advice! If you consider using a HMC at all you definitely should install the HMC first and then the VIOS. Only then create the LPARs.

If you do not have one, you may even start with a NIM server as the first LPAR, because it makes life a lot easier when installing the other LPARs.

I hope this helps.

NAME
pdweb - start the HP-UX Peripheral Device tool, part of the System Management Homepage Web interface. SYNOPSIS
Path: 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 pluggable 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: o start the System Management Homepage Web server and o 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 information 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. Online Help Once the HP-UX Peripheral Device tool is started, the online help provides details on how to use the tool. RETURN VALUES
