Overview of the initial configuration pages in the NetBackup Appliance Web Console
The NetBackup Appliance Web Console lets you perform the initial configuration through a series of pages where you enter the appropriate information. The following shows each page along with a brief description of the required information.
This page appears when you log on to an appliance that is not configured. It provides a short summary of the necessary information for the initial configuration.
This page is used to change the factory default passwords for the admin, maintenance, and sysadmin (IPMI) user accounts. The initial configuration cannot proceed beyond this page until all default passwords have been changed.
This page shows the current status of all system hardware components. This page identifies any component cabling problems between the appliance server and the Primary Storage Shelf or the Expansion Storage Shelf. Disk drive problems are also identified if any exist.
This page is used to enter your corporate network information. The upper table contains tabs for entering the Interface Properties and the Routing Properties information. The lower table contains drop down tabs that expand to enter the Create Bond, Tag VLAN, and Add Static Route information.
This page is used to enter the host identification information for this appliance. The appliance host name (FQDN and short name), the IP address, and the domain name are all required.
This page is used to set the date, the time, and the time zone for the appliance location.
This page is used to configure system alerts and the Call Home feature for reporting problems.
The MyAppliance Portal is no longer supported with the release of the Veritas NetInsights Console and will be decommissioned. Appliance registration should be done by signing in to the NetInsights portal (https://netInsights.veritas.com) with your Veritas Account Manager credentials. For more information, see the Veritas Appliance AutoSupport Reference Guide and the Veritas NetInsights Console User Guide.
This page is used to identify the master server that you want to use with this media server. Before you select the master server, you must first add the name of this appliance media server to server list on the master server.

Master server that uses an external CA and its own internal certificate:
Master server that uses an external CA only:
Master server that uses a NetBackup CA only:
The AdvancedDisk tab on this page is used to allocate storage space for the AdvancedDisk partition and to name the storage unit and the disk pool.
