About the OpsCenter Getting Started feature
OpsCenter provides you with the Getting Started feature that assists you in the initial OpsCenter configuration. When you logon to OpsCenter for the first time, you need to do a few initial configurations in the following recommended sequence to start monitoring NetBackup:
Step | Task | Details |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Add NetBackup Master Servers |
Adding NetBackup Master Servers in the OpsCenter console is the first step of the NetBackup data collection. You can add multiple NetBackup master servers in the OpsCenter console. |
Step 2 | Add OpsCenter views / groups | After adding NetBackup master servers, you can group them (or NetBackup policies or clients) into logical groups called OpsCenter views based on their locations or applications. You can group master servers, policies, or clients to restrict their access to the OpsCenter users. |
Step 3 | Add users into OpsCenter | Once the master servers, policies, or clients are grouped, you can add users in OpsCenter who can access OpsCenter views depending on their roles. OpsCenter provides integration with Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and LDAP. You can add AD / LDAP users and user groups in OpsCenter. |
Step 4 | Configure email settings | OpsCenter provides alerting and reporting functionality. Once you configure SMTP email server, OpsCenter can automatically send email notifications on alerts and export reports. |
You can carry out these tasks using other tabs and screens across the OpsCenter user interface. However, the OpsCenter Getting Started feature provides four simple set of wizards and user interface screens that help you do all the required configurations in one go. Once you do all these configurations, NetBackup data collection begins. You can then generate the required reports using the Reports tab.
After the initial configuration, if you want to access the OpsCenter Getting Started feature, click on the OpsCenter user interface.
