Welcome to HP Device Manager 5.0, Complete Setup Tutorial.
As a disclaimer, this tutorial makes the following assumptions: That Windows Server is setup,
configured, and introduced into your environment.
As part of this tutorial, we will be completing the complete installation in ten clicks.
That will include downloading and installing the HP Device Manager 5.0 executable, confirming
and/or changing the file save location where the files are extracted to, agreeing to the
End User License Agreement, reviewing the complete setup and/or destination folder,
checking the preconditions and/or mitigating where necessary, allowing all seven components to install
while we review the Admin Guide, launching HPDM console, and then finally setting the
root administrator password before we review the setup.
Let's begin.
I've already installed Server 2016 Standard.
And I've already downloaded HP Device Manager 5.0 executable and placed it on my desktop.
I'm going to go ahead, and double click that executable.
And agree to the UAC by clicking run.
After confirming the save file folder where I want these files to be extracted to, I'm
going to go ahead and click next.
And I'm going to wait for it to go ahead and complete the extraction.
Once the extraction is complete, I'm going to get greeted with the Welcome to the Install
wizard for HP Device Manager 5.0.
I'm going to go ahead and click next.
After reviewing the License Agreement as part of step one from top to bottom
I'm going to go ahead and check the box for I accept the terms of this license agreement.
And click next.
For step two, we are going to choose our setup type.
For the purposes of this tutorial we are going to go with the complete installation.
But just to show you the seven individual components, I'm going to bubble in custom.
And then click next.
This will show you the seven components that are going to be installed as part of the complete
installation, their installation size, and their version.
I'm going to go ahead and click back, and then re-bubble in complete.
If I agree to the following destination folder, we are going to go ahead and click next.
Otherwise, I can go ahead and click browse.
So, I'm going to go ahead and click next at this time.
As step three entails it's going to check the preconditions.
So, I'm going click check.
It's going to check the available ports.
And if everything is check marked as green from top to bottom, we know that we have all
the necessary ports for the HP Device Manager to function properly.
At the very bottom, you will notice that it does check the required space for each
of those components as well.
Since everything is check marked and it is green, we are going to go ahead and click install.
While it's installing the seven components of HP Device Manager 5.0,
we are going to go ahead and review the Admin Guide.
Since we are doing the complete installation, I'm going to go ahead and click on page 12.
This is going to highlight each and all seven components as needed for HP Device Manager 5.0.
Scrolling down through page 13, and even through page 14, you will notice all those individual components.
At the bottom of page 14, you will notice the product support matrix which will highlight
all the Thin Clients that HP Device Manager supports.
Scrolling onto page 15, it's going to go ahead and detail here at the bottom, the necessary
ports for HP Device Manager to function.
That will be in a range from 40000 to 40009 and also 400012.
There are additional ports that are necessary which will be detailed further along in this guide.
On page 16, it's going to allow you the commands that help you to set up those individual ports
in your Windows Server Advanced Firewall.
Scrolling down to page 17, it's going to detail the complete setup
which is what we're performing in today's tutorial.
As we scroll down a little bit further, it's going to provide snapshots on
how we are getting through that tutorial as well.
Which we're demonstrating here today.
I'm going to scroll past all those snapshots.
And then starting on page 29, it's going to define some typologies for HP Device Manager.
On the top, its going to define a standard setup in which all components are installed
on the same piece of hardware or same virtual machine.
On the bottom, it's going to show a breakout of each individual component on different
pieces of hardware or different virtual machines for a more advanced setup.
Starting at the top, which would generally support 5,000 Thin Clients
you have the web console here on the left.
An administrator would use this web console or even the software console if they chose too.
To go ahead and create a deployment request, that deployment request would be answered
by the pieces of hardware or virtual machines in which all seven components are installed.
It would then use the HPDM gateway to send that request out to the Thin Clients to deploy that request.
Looking at the bottom, it would be the same scenario.
The administrator would use the web console or the software console to set up a deployment scenario.
It would then send that to the HPDM server.
The HPDM server would consult the database for it's logical information.
It would then look towards the master or child repositories for its payload.
It would then send it out to the respective gateway.
Which would then send the payload and deployment to the Thin Clients.
I'm going to exit this Admin Guide and we are going to check on the installation.
As you can see, we have reached a success screen.
If we chose to, we could check the box for launch HPDM Configuration Center if we needed
to do a little bit of additional configuration.
We are going to go ahead and click finish, and allow it to do it all for us.
And we're going to give it a few seconds to complete the full installation.
You notice here on the desktop that there is an icon for HP Device Manager 5.0 console.
I'm going to go ahead and double click that to launch it.
During the launch, it's going to show us a splash screen for the new HP Device Manager,
and now it's going to present us with a prompt to set the root password.
I'm going to go ahead and give it a good root password.
And after we give it a root password, it's going to drop us on the home dashboard
which is going to show us six tiles that highlight the six individual features
that HP Device Manager utilizes.
As a starting point, you are going to want to click on the tab at top
that says Gateways & Repositories.
Once you click that, you are going to want to configure your individual repositories
and gateways per your environment.
Following that, you are going to click on the tab that says Manage Devices.
And then you are going to go ahead and click on the menu for Discover Devices.
And you are going to utilize one of three options to discover your Thin Client devices.
And from there, you are going to be able to manage and/or deploy to your Thin Clients.
As part of the summary for today, we demonstrated the following, a complete installation.
We invite you to join our webinars every Tuesday and Thursday highlighting HPDM
and also Thin Pro Converter.
This concludes our tutorial.
Thank you.
