Home page
When you open the NetBackup Appliance Web Console login page and log in as an AMS user, you can access the home page on the Appliance Management Console. This page is displayed after you have configured the appliance role like a master server.
From the Home page, you can add the appliances that you want to manage (agents). Only NetBackup 3.1 or later appliances that are configured as a master or a media server can be added.
Note:
Appliances that use software versions 2.7.3 and 3.0 can now be added and are also supported for upgrades through the Appliance Management Console. To add or upgrade appliances with versions 2.7.3 or 3.0 from the Appliance Management Console, you must first apply specific EEBs on those appliances. Check this link for more information.
