Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel

That’s correct. If you want the Windows GUI you simply install it on your Windows workstation so PuTTY isn’t involved. The GUI you see using that and the jnbSA are essentially the same with the difference being the latter uses X so is less efficient to your workstation.

You need to find your NetBackup 7.x Windows DVD and mount it. (Here we actually have this saved on and shared out from our Master Server as a SAMBA share but you may not.) The program to run to install the GUI on the DVD (or share) is called browser.exe.

Hi,

Please forgive my confusion, but what does putty and the windows admin console have to do with each other. You can use putty to login to the master then use the jnbSA to initiate an X display. Otherwise you use the windows admin console an specify the master server name. The server you are running from must be in the bp.conf file of the master server, at a minimum, as a SERVER = <windows servrer>, if you want to make changes to media server, they each need similar entries. There is not putty or X.

If I misunderstood, please explain.

Many regards,

Pat

I am o.k with the jnbSA , X window method and use this regularly using putty X forwarding. I believe there are some administration advantages in using the windows admin program but am struggling to use it via putty.

There are fire walls between my Windows machine where I want to run Administration Console and the redhat server which is the netbackup master server. To this end I have been trying to use putty tunnelling opening up ports 1556 13724 and 13782. I have heard on this forum that this is possible but I cannot get it to work. It would be great if someone could give me some information on how to do this.
