Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Administrator's Guide

To log on to the NetBackup Appliance Web Console

1. Enter the following URL in the web browser:

   https://ip|hostname/appliance

   In the URL use the IP or hostname of your appliance. The hostname is the label that is assigned to your appliance to identify the device in your network.

   Note:

   If you use Internet Explorer 11.0 or higher to access the NetBackup Appliance Web Console, security certificate warnings appear when you access a pop-up menu. Select Continue to this website (not recommended) to log into the appliance. Once you select this option, the security certificate warnings do not appear on the pop-up menus.

   The browser displays the NetBackup Appliance Web Console login page.

   Note:

   If the initial configuration for an appliance is in progress, do not try to run a new instance of the NetBackup Appliance Web Console. You cannot log on to the appliance thus causing an unsuccessful login.

2. To log on with user name and password:

   • Enter your user name in the Username field. The default user name is admin.

   • Enter your password in the Password field. The default user password is P@ssw0rd, where 0 is the number zero.

   • Click on Log in with username and password, or press the return button of the keyboard.

     Note:

     If you log on as an AMS user on the login page on the AMS, you are redirected to the Appliance Management Console. If you log on as an Administrator, you are directed to the NetBackup Appliance Web Console.

     Note:

     After the new appliance is configured and you have been registered as a user, the user name and password are sent to your registered email ID.

3. To log in with a smart card:

   • Ensure that the appliance has been configured and enabled for smart card authentication. Make sure that your smart card is connected to your computer.

   • You may be prompted to select a certificate. A pop-up dialog may appear and show certificates that are cached in your browser. Select the certificate you want to use for smart card authentication. You can click Cancel if you do not want to log in with a smart card.

     Note:

     You can use your username and password if you select a certificate.

   • If you selected a certificate, click on the Log in with Smart Card button. It may take up to 30 seconds to complete the login.

   The browser remembers your selection. If you selected a certificate, you can log in again with that same certificate. If you did not select a certificate, you can log in with your user name and password. If you want to change your authentication choice to use a certificate or a different certificate, it is necessary to terminate the browser and start it again. Refer to your browser's documentation.

4. Select your preferred language from the Language drop-down list. Based on the language you select, the labels on the NetBackup Appliance Web Console are displayed in that language.

   English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese web user interfaces are available for this release. Veritas recommends that the language that you select in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console is the same as your system locale. If the language that you want to select in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console is not the same as your system locale, you should first change the locale in the following manner:

   To change the system locale	Details
   1. Browse the locales on your system	Log on to the shell menu and run Settings> SystemLocale List language_code. Example: Run Settings> SystemLocale List ja to browse the available locales in Japanese language. The following locales can be displayed: ja_JP ja_JP.UTF-8 ja_JP.eucJP ja_JP.eucjp ja_JP.ujis ja_JP.utf8
   2. Set the preferred locale along with its format	Run Settings > SystemLocale Set language_code command. Example: Run Settings> SystemLocale Set ja_JP.UTF-8 to set the ja_JP.UTF-8 locale to the Appliance.

   Note:

   Selecting a language in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console that is different from the language of system locale may result in a mixing up of the two languages in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console.

5. Click Login.

   The appliance displays either of the following:

   • Initial Configuration Setup - When you log into the appliance for the first time you are asked to perform the initial configuration and set up your appliance. For more information, refer to the NetBackup Initial Configuration Guide.

     Note:

     If the NetBackup license key on the appliance has expired after an ISO install, continue with the initial configuration. A temporary license key is generated which is valid for 30 days. Veritas recommends that you add a permanent license key before the temporary license key has expired.

   • NetBackup Appliance home page - After you have successfully configured your appliance, the Home page is displayed. More information about the Home page is available.

     See NetBackup appliance home page.
