Veritas NetBackup™ OpsCenter Administrator's Guide

Creating OpsCenter views

This topic provides the procedure to create a view using OpsCenter. Only a Security Administrator or an Administrator can create views.

It is recommended that while creating a view, the lowest level of the view should be an object that is created by a data collector like a primary server, policy, client and so on. For example, if you create a view called Geography, the lowest level can be an object like abc.veritas.com or xyz.veritas.com and not any other hypothetical object like Region, Continent and so on.

Example:

Geography

 | - US

  |- - Colorado

      |- - - abc.veritas.com

In this example, US, and Colorado are hypothetical nodes (which are not associated with any data collector), and the lowest-level of the view is abc.veritas.com which is an object created by a data collector. You can create such views.

You should not create any view like the following where the lowest level of the view is a hypothetical object like Denver:

Geography

 | - US

  |- - Colorado

      |- - - xyz.veritas.com

        |- - - - Denver
