Logging in to the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu
The following procedure explains how to log in to the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu (shell menu).
To log in to the shell menu
- Connect to the shell menu.
- Log in by using one of the following methods:
Username/Password - You can login with a valid username/password.
Smart card login - If the appliance has been configured and enabled for smart card login, you can log in using smart card. Ensure that you have configured the smart card. For details, see the NetBackup Appliance Security Guide.
- After a successful login, the cursor is alongside the Main_Menu prompt.
- Press the ? key to display the available commands and shell views.
Note:
If you log in to the appliance shell menu using the Terminal utility application on an Apple Mac machine, some commands may not work because of a conflict with a locale setting. To avoid this issue, disable the Set locale environment variables on startup option in the Terminal application. In an active Terminal session, select . The option appears in the "International" section.
Starting with release 5.0, if Call Home is disabled or not working properly, a warning message appears after login asking users to ensure that Call Home is enabled and working.
If Call Home is disabled, the following warning message is displayed:
Warning:
It has been detected that you have not enabled Call Home.
It is strongly recommended that you enable Call Home. Enabling Call Home helps to connect your appliance with the Veritas AutoSupport server and upload software information. Veritas Support uses this information to resolve any issues that you may report.
If Call Home is not working, the following warning message is displayed:
Warning:
It has been detected Call Home is not working on this appliance.
It is strongly recommended that you ensure that Call Home is working correctly. Enabling Call Home helps to connect your appliance with the Veritas AutoSupport server and upload software information. Veritas Support uses this information to resolve any issues that you may report.
To resolve this issue, ensure the system can reach the Veritas Call Home server through correct name resolution or proxy server setting.
