NetBackup Administration Console Setup
NetBackup provides two Java-based administration consoles through which the administrator can manage NetBackup. The consoles can be run on either of the following systems:
- Directly on a supported NetBackup-Java capable UNIX system by running /usr/openv/java/jnbSA &
The jnbSA command is described in the NetBackup Commands for UNIX guide.
- On a supported Windows system that has the NetBackup-Java Windows Display Console installed. The Windows Display Console is not automatically installed on Windows systems. Installation is available on the main NetBackup for Windows installation screen.
To start the NetBackup-Java Administration Console on a NetBackup-Java capable UNIX system
-
Log in as root on the NetBackup client or server where you want to start the NetBackup Administration Console. The client or server must be NetBackup-Java capable.
-
Start the console by entering:
/usr/openv/java/jnbSA &
The login screen appears.
-
Type the name of the UNIX master server host where you initially want to manage NetBackup.
Note
The NetBackup server or client you specify on the login dialog of the NetBackup-Java console must be running the same version of NetBackup as is installed on the machine where you start the NetBackup-Java console.
-
Specify your user name and password, then click Login.
This logs you into the NetBackup-Java application server program on the specified server. The NetBackup Administration Console appears. The console program continues to communicate through the server you specified for the remainder of the current session.
-
Start a utility by clicking on it in the scope pane.
-
If you wish to administer another NetBackup server, you can select File > Change Server to select a remote NetBackup server on which to make configuration changes.
Note
The NetBackup Administration Console supports remote X Windows display only between same-platform systems. For example, assume you are on a Solaris system named tiger and the NetBackup-Java software is on a Solaris system named shark. Here, you can display the interface on tiger by performing an rlogin to shark and running the command jnbSA -d tiger. However, if shark were an HP system, you could display jnbSA only directly on shark.
In addition, the system on which the console is displayed must be running a version of the operating system supported by the console. Refer to the NetBackup release notes for supported versions, including any required patches. The jnbSA command is described in the NetBackup Commands for UNIX guide.
