New features and enhancements to the NetBackup web UI
In this release the NetBackup web UI contains the following new features and enhancements:
The NetBackup web UI is updated to include the Cohesity company logo and reflect the Cohesity colors and theme.
Users can choose from a light mode or dark mode. This setting is available in the lower left-hand corner of the web UI.
Ability to configure drives and robots using a wizard. The wizard scans for the devices and allows to configures the devices such as robots and drives. The following actions are supported in this release:
Update device properties. Currently updating device type is supported.
Select or deselect the discovered devices that are to be configured.
Create tape storage units.
Create local rules or replace global rules for tape drives.
For more information, see the Configuring robots and tape drives section in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.
In the Activity monitor, the information for a job now includes a Logs tab where you can view all log information for that job.
A new node where you can compile information to verify, manage, and troubleshoot NetBackup operations. In the NetBackup 11.0 release, this node only contains the report.
The web UI supports server-directed restores for the Lotus-Notes policy type.
When a workload administrator subscribes an asset to a protection plan, NetBackup also creates a protection plan (automanaged) policy and a protection plan (automanaged) storage lifecycle policy (SLP). The NetBackup web UI includes the following capabilities for these policies:
View automanaged policies and automanaged SLPs.
You cannot modify or delete automanaged policies or SLPs. You can only view the details of this type of policy.
Copy automanaged policies to a NetBackup classic policy.
This action is only available when a classic policy type exists that corresponds to the workload. For other protection plan types, you cannot copy the protection plan to a classic policy.
