About OpsCenter views
Veritas NetBackup OpsCenter views are logical groups of IT assets (master servers or clients) organized in a hierarchical manner. A Security Administrator or an Administrator can create views either from OpsCenter console or the OpsCenter View Builder (formerly called Java View Builder) and make them available in the OpsCenter console.
Figure: The Views tab shows the details that are displayed on the Views tab in the OpsCenter console.
Note:
Only a Security Administrator or an Administrator can create or modify views.
See User access rights and functions in OpsCenter user interface.
In an OpsCenter view, IT assets that are scattered across organization can be arranged according to their locations, business units, or applications. You can generate various OpsCenter reports that are filtered by views. With these reports, you can identify the locations or departments with hosts storing business critical data.
After you install and run the OpsCenter Server and the OpsCenter Agent, OpsCenter detects the IT assets, which are then stored in the database. The OpsCenter View Builder makes these IT assets available when a view is created.
Note:
To run the OpsCenter View Builder, you need Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the host.
In a view hierarchy, between top and bottom levels you can create a number of user-defined levels. An OpsCenter view is a homogeneous one, it cannot have hosts and file systems in the same tree.
