Overview of the initial configuration pages in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console
The NetBackup Appliance Web Console lets you perform the initial configuration through a series of pages where you enter the appropriate information. The following shows each page along with a brief description of the required information.
This page appears when you log on to an appliance that is not configured. It provides a short summary of the necessary information for the initial configuration.
Note:
This page provides a link to download a checklist that provides descriptions for all of the data entry fields on all pages in the initial configuration. Before you begin the initial configuration, Veritas recommends that you click on the link, print the file, and record all of the necessary information.
This page shows the current status of all system hardware components. This page identifies any component cabling problems between the appliance server and the Primary Storage Shelf or the Expansion Storage Shelf. Disk drive problems are also identified if any exist.
