Starting the NetBackup Administration Console
Use the following procedures to open the NetBackup Administration Console to configure NetBackup. The Getting Started wizard guides you through the primary configuration steps to make NetBackup function.
Note:
Other wizards are available from the initial NetBackup Administration Console window that are not part of the Getting Started wizard. For example, you can configure disk pools or create a snapshot backup policy. See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I for complete information about all NetBackup wizards.
On Windows systems, if you clicked the check box that appears at the end of NetBackup installation, you can skip this procedure.
To start the NetBackup Administration Console on Windows
- Log on to the NetBackup server as the Administrator.
- Click Start > Programs > Veritas NetBackup > NetBackup Administration Console.
- To begin configuration, on the Administration Console, click Getting Started.
The Getting Started screen appears and prompts you to begin device configuration.
Note:
If you still need to configure devices to work with the operating system, close the wizard. You must first configure those devices as specified by the device and the operating system vendors.
To start the NetBackup Administration Console on UNIX
- Log in to the NetBackup server as root.
For clustered environments, log in to the active node as root.
If you need to run the user interface on a computer other than the NetBackup server, log on to that computer. For UNIX systems, log in as root.
- Enter the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jnbSA &
- Enter the password for root.
For clustered environments, when you log in to the NetBackup Administration Console, specify the virtual host name in the Host field.
- Click Login.
- To begin configuration, on the Administration Console, click Getting Started.
- On the initial Getting Started screen, review the content and click Next.
The following screen prompts you to Configure Storage Devices.
Note:
If you still need to configure devices to work with the operating system, close the wizard. You must first configure those devices as specified by the device and the operating system vendors.
