Setting up a CDE for the NetBackup interfaces on UNIX
Always set the window manager so that a window becomes active only when clicked. The NetBackup interfaces do not run properly with auto-focus enabled. Auto-focus causes a window to become active when the pointer moves over the window.
The following are general instructions for correctly setting up the focus on a CDE (Common Desktop Environment) window manager. CDE is the preferred window manager for NetBackup applications.
The NetBackup host that is specified on the login dialog box and the computer where you start the NetBackup Administration Console must run the same NetBackup version.
The NetBackup Administration Console supports remote X Windows display only between same-platform systems. For example, assume that you are on a Solaris system named system1 and the NetBackup software is on a Solaris system named system2. Here, you can display the interface on system1 by performing rlogin to system2. Then run jnbSA -d system1. However, if system2 was an HP system, you could display jnbSA only directly on system2.
In addition, the system where the console appears must run a version of the operating system that the console supports. Refer to the NetBackup release notes for supported versions, including any required release updates.
The jnbSA command is described in the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
