HP Insight CMU automatically starts a minimal web server on port 80 of the management node
that serves only the HP Insight CMU website. If an HTTP service is already running on this port on
the management node, then the HP Insight CMU web service does not run. If you want to use a
different port number, then edit the environment variable CMU_THTTPD_PORT in the /opt/cmu/
etc/cmuserver.conf

file.

To launch the HP Insight CMU GUI:

1.

Start a web browser on the HP Insight CMU client and then enter:

http://cmu-management-node-ip-addr

2.

From the main menu of the HP Insight CMU v7.2 website, click Launch Cluster Management
Utility GUI.

3.6.2 Launching the HP Insight CMU GUI from the Java file

With Java:

Download required libraries:

Copy cmugui.jar to a chosen folder (/tmp in this example):

scp root@cluster: /opt/cmu/bin/cmugui.jar /tmp

Copy required jars to the same folder:

scp root@cluster: /opt/cmu/www/jnlp/jogl-2.0-2/jar/*.jar /tmp

scp root@cluster: /opt/cmu/www/jnlp/jediterm/*.jar /tmp

Launch HP Insight CMU:

java -cp "*" _GEN2.GUI.View.SplashScreen

Enter the IP address of your cluster when prompted.

3.6.3 Configuring the GUI client on Linux workstations

On Linux workstations, you can use a secure ssh tunnel or an X Window server to communicate
between the workstation running the HP Insight CMU GUI and the HP Insight CMU management
server.

Using an ssh tunnel

1.

To open the ssh tunnel, the following settings are required on the HP Insight CMU management
server.

Put Xauth in the PATH. Xauth is typically at:

/usr/bin/xauth

on Red Hat

/usr/bin/X11/xauth

on SUSE

Install the following:

On Red Hat: xorg-x11-xauth rpm

On SUSE: xorg-x11-libs rpm

On Debian: xbase-clients.X.X.deb

NOTE:

If you did not select the X11 package during your Linux installation, then you

must manually install it.

sshd_config
