To open a single-user GUI client configured for one NFM-P system

Purpose

Perform this procedure to open a single-user GUI client that is configured to connect to only one NFM-P system.

By default, the NFM-P GUI client login form lists the main servers in one NFM-P system. If you manage multiple NFM-P systems at the same release, you can configure the login form to list the main servers in each system as login options; see the NSP Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Note: To perform the procedure, you must be logged in to the single-user client station as one of the following:

Steps
 
1 

Double-click on the NSP NFM-P Client (server) icon on the RHEL or Windows desktop, where server is a main server IP address or hostname.

If you are currently logged in to the NSP and have suppressed security messages, the NFM-P GUI opens.

2 

If the form in Figure 1-7, Do you want to run this application? is displayed, perform the following steps.

  1. To suppress the form when opening subsequent GUI sessions, select the check box.

  2. Click Run.

If you are currently logged in to the NSP, the NFM-P GUI opens.

If you are not currently logged in to the NSP:

Enter your NSP user credentials, acknowledge the security statement, if present, and click SIGN IN.

Note: If you do not enter valid credentials within the allowed authentication period, the splash screen indicates that the client has timed out; you must close the splash screen and return to Step 1.

The client splash screen indicates that the client is loading, and then closes as the NFM-P GUI opens.
