Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Quick Start


Using the Administrative Web Interface

You can issue Tivoli Storage Manager commands, view server administration data, and perform all administrative tasks directly from the Web interface. For details about starting the Web interface, see Starting and Stopping an Administrative Client or the Web Interface. To end a Web interface session, select Log Off, from the Options pull down menu.

Note:If you want to use the administrative Web interface, your browser must have Java 1.1.6 support. We recommend that you use Netscape 4.06 or higher or Internet Explorer 4.01 or higher.

Tivoli Storage Manager Server Administration has four major views:

The following sections contain details about each view.

Figure 4 shows the four major views of the Web interface with the Operation view partially expanded.

By default, the time-out interval for an administrative Web interface session is 10 minutes. After the interval elapses, you must reenter your administrator name and password. To change the interval, do the following from the Web interface:

  1. Expand the Operation View.
  2. Expand Manage Security.
  3. Click Set web authentication time out.

    Specify an interval from 0 to 9999 minutes. A value of 0 means that the session is never timed out.
