  • Page 7: Introduction

    toptools User Guide Introduction Toptools is a web-based, device management tool that enables administrators and MIS managers to use a web browser to obtain information about devices on their network. It provides a common management application for HP personal computers, Netservers, HP-UX systems, AdvanceStack and ProCurve hubs and switches, and LaserJet printers as well as products from other vendors.

  • Page 8: Architecture

    toptools User Guide Toptools provides specific management to the following HP products: • HP Vectra and Brio Desktops • HP Kayak and Visualize Workstations • HP Omnibook Notebooks • HP Netservers • HP ProCurve and AdvanceStack networking devices • HP LaserJet and JetDirect products •...
  • Page 9 toptools User Guide Toptools Operating Components A number of toptools components run continuously on the management server, gathering data in the background even if no user is logged on. The following background components operate on a schedule (some schedules are user- configurable).
  • Page 10 toptools User Guide Toptools Databases • The Device Database (MEDS.mdb). The Managed Elements Data Store (MEDS) provides persistent storage for information about the managed devices. The discovery and inventory programs put data into or ‘populate’ MEDS, including a list of devices and their attributes (network address, object type, name, etc.). MEDS uses a Microsoft Access database, and provides read-only access through ODBC.

Set your browser to exclude using a web proxy to access your toptools server.

  • Page 15: Managed Nodes

    toptools User Guide To start a remote console session from another system, open the following URL: http://Toptools_Server_Host_Name.company.com/hptt where Toptools_Server_Host_Name.company.com is the valid IP hostname resolved in your DNS for your toptools server -or- http://#.#.#.#/hptt where #.#.#.# is the IP address of the toptools server. Managed Nodes - NOTE - You must have agents (toptools, SNMP, DMI, WMI or Webagent)
  • Page 16 toptools User Guide • HP LaserJet Printers. HP LaserJet and JetDirect products are supported through integration with HP Web JetAdmin which is included on the toptools CD. To manage HP LaserJet products, the JetDirect interface must be installed. JetDirect uses SNMP and webagent technology on the firmware of the JetDirect card.

  • Page 17: Installation Procedure

    toptools User Guide (4) Power On will work with systems that support standard Magic Packet technology. If a device supports a webagent technology and another technology, such as WMI, toptools will create a link to the management home page (webagent) and will also generate generic toptools property pages. Toptools automatically discovers webagents (or web servers) listening on port 80 (Device Home Page) or ports 280, 411, 2301, or 6500 (Management Home Page).
  • Page 18 toptools User Guide Step 1: Close other applications and run CD:\setup.exe or begin the installation process from the web site download page. You will see the following dialog: Step 2: Click Next. The toptools installation wizard will check your system for requirements and installed components and then report on the results.
  • Page 19 toptools User Guide Step 3: Select toptools components and destination directory. The Toptools Component Selection dialog allows you to choose which toptools components you would like to install in addition to toptools core services such as discovery, inventory, and event management. You may elect to add components at another time by running install again.
  • Page 20 toptools User Guide Step 4: Integrating Web JetAdmin. If you selected Web JetAdmin for Printers in the component selection dialog, toptools will first check to see if there is already a Web JetAdmin server installed on the local system. If not, it will prompt you to perform a local installation or link to a remote Web JetAdmin server on the network.
  • Page 21 toptools User Guide Step 5: Integrating SCM. If you want to link toptools with a Service Control Manager (SCM) installation you can do so during installlation. (Note you can also add a link to an SCM server at any time after installation by clicking Settings, and Integration.) Check the servicecontrol manager box on the Select integration dialog.
  • Page 22 toptools User Guide Step 6: Create toptools service account. Toptools uses a local Windows user account “toptools service” to provide system access to the toptools services. It also creates three user groups called “toptools”, “toptools operators” and “toptools admins”. These Windows user groups are used to control access to the toptools application when toptools is installed onto an NTFS partition.
  • Page 23 toptools User Guide Step 7: Select toptools admin account. Toptools uses a domain Windows user account “toptools admin” to provide domain access to managed systems. If the toptools system is part of a workgroup and is not part of a domain, a local account will be created. If the system is part of a domain but you do not have domain admin privilages, a domain level admin account and password will be configured in toptools, but the domain level “toptools admin”...
  • Page 24 toptools User Guide Step 8. Select the toptools program folder. Step 9: License agreement and warranty. Software license and warranty notices will be displayed. Clicking Yes will indicate that you have read and accept the terms. Step 10: Enable auto-logon feature. The auto-logon feature allows the installation wizard to reduce the amount of interaction required during installation on NT systems by automatically logging back into the system following a required reboot.
  • Page 25 toptools User Guide Enter your account information. The account should be the same account used to launch setup.exe (and have administarative access to system). Account information is temporarily stored in the Windows registry and is removed when installation is complete to protect the security of your account. Step 11: Installation wizard installs software and displays progress.
  • Page 26 toptools User Guide The wizard will provide instructions for installling components. When configuring the SNMP service, it is important to remember that you are also configuring an SNMP agent that will allow the toptools server to be managed. Refer to your Windows documentation for information on configuring the SNMP services. During the installation of SNMP services on an NT system you will be asked if you want to reboot.

  • Page 28 toptools User Guide Step 12: Configure Advanced Settings option When all the selected toptools components have been installed, you may choose to make advanced configuration settings for discovery before starting toptools. Depending on the size of your network, you may want to configure discovery settings rather than wait for the first discovery cycle to complete.
  • Page 29 toptools User Guide Toptools uses many mechanisms for discovery, including reading the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache on routers (gateways). To access ARP information from routers, the toptools server needs the correct SNMP read community to access the information. By default, the router, or gateway, specified within Windows TCP/IP properties on the toptools server is entered.
  • Page 30 toptools User Guide IP Discovery Discovery using the IP protocol. Ping Discovery Sends a ping to every address of every network you specified in the previous dialog. Without ping discovery, toptools will rely on information from ARP cache (see previous dialog description for information). If you do not have a community name for any routers or devices that support ARP, you will need Ping Discovery enabled to find IP devices.
  • Page 31 toptools User Guide Step 14: Complete installation and reboot. At this point you can review the readme file (recommended), and have the toptools services started. If your system requires a final reboot before starting toptools, you will be prompted. Upon completion of the installation process, you will need to: •...
