8. Console Server Windows 2000/2003 32-bit Solaris 7, 8, 9 & 10 Linux RedHat Advanced Svr 2.1, Enterprise Svr 3 and 4 SuSE Enterprise Svr 8 and 9 NetWorker 7.3 client must be installed on Console server JRE 1.4.2 (w/ WebStart) Optional: LLM 7.0 or later NetWorker versions supported by Console NetWorker 7.0 (and above) on Linux, UNIX and Windows Console Client AIX Mozilla 1.8 Netscape 4.7.2 HP/UX Mozilla 1.6 Linux Mozilla 1.4 Solaris 8 & 9 Netscape 6.2.3 Solaris 10 Mozilla 1.7 Windows2003 Enterprise or Datacenter Edition IE 6.x Windows XP, 2000, or 2003 (32-bit) IE 5.5 or 6.x Netscape 4.7.6 or 7.x System Requirements

9. Console Client • Is a Web-deployed Java Application • Delivered to the Client by Java Web Start • Ensures latest version is downloaded from Console server • Then behaves as a regular desktop application • Can be Launched from: • The desktop • Java Web Start Application Manager • Web browser, but not needed to run

10. Installation Information • Package locations • /usr/src/ARCHIVE/nw/7.3 (Unix path) • \\archive\archive\nw\7.3 (Windows path) • Package Names (the standard NW pkgs) • nw_win_x86.exe • nw_solaris_64.tar.gz • nw_linux_x86_64.tar.gz • Default Install locations • C:\Program Files\Legato\Management\GST (Windows) • /opt/LGTOnmc (Solaris) • /opt/lgtonmc (Linux) • Note on Size • The Windows package is a combination of core NetWorker & NetWorker Management Console and requires severalhundred MB of free disk space

11. Select to have NMC installed LLM is optional Windows Installation of NMC

12. Windows Installation of NMC Once the install of NetWorker is complete, the NetWorker Management Console install will begin (as shown in the next slide)

13. Windows Installation of NMC Begin installation of NetWorker Management Console

14. Windows Installation of NMC Note space requirements for NMC installation

15. Windows Installation of NMC • The database can be installed in a different location from the server binaries • 9000 and 9001 are the default port numbers for clients to connect to the Console server

16. Windows Installation of NMC • Like NetWorker, you can keep or overwrite an existing “database” • Upgrade steps involve “uninstalling” (and keeping the database), then reinstalling the new version of software

17. Remember Console server location. You must list the server name and the port number (i.e . 9000) You can launch directly after install completes Windows Installation of NMC

18. NMC Product Directories

19. Setup of NMC Client on Unix The browser runs a javascript routine to detect the required version of Java Web Start. If not available, the following info is displayed. There is some variation among the different platforms. • Download the JRE from the Console server • CD to dir and Run the self-extracting binary Sometimes the JRE is detected, but there is a problem with the way the browser associates the jnlp app with its handler -- the following instructions are then available. • Add this line to the .mime.types file type=application/x-java-jnlp-file desc="Java Web Start" exts="jnlp“ • Add this line to the .mailcap file application/x-java-jnlp-file; /usr/local/j2re1.4.2/javaws/javaws %s

20. Additional Install Considerations • Linux • Use rpm to install the lgtonmc package • Users must run the “config.sh” script once installation is complete. The script is found in the /opt/lgtonmc/etc dir (by default). This is required because the Linux install is not interactive. • Solaris • Use pkgadd is used to install the LGTOnmc package • nsraddadmin • This must be run on any NetWorker server that does not have a local Console server • The syntax is: nsraddadmin –u <user>@<host>

21. Console Migration • Migrating from 2.0.1 to Keystone is not supported. (If customers have this environment, they are to upgrade to 3.0, then install the Keystone version of Console) • Workflow is to “uninstall” Console and leave the database. Install the new version and select the “keep the database” option • No upgrade enabler is required for Console from 3.1 to the Keystone version • Customers who have a licensed version of Console 3.1 do not need to enter the new “advanced” report license

29. Task Bar Menu Bar Tool Bar Elements of Console Windows Details Pane NavigationPane
