boot into the windows recovery environment testout lab

I don’t currently have any Windows VMware systems in my lab that are getting backups, so I ran a recovery for a Linux virtual machine.

The WebUI auto-refreshes, so you’ll pretty quickly see the Tasks area change to show the task is complete: vProxy Setup CompleteĪfter this was done, I figured a good test would be to execute an FLR on a client. The WebUI will tell you that you can monitor the setup of the vProxy via the Tasks tab, and you’ll briefly see the setup running: vProxy Setup Running With the configuration details complete, you can click Finish to complete the addition of the vProxy into your environment. With the vProxy selected, you’ll need to enter password information (particularly if you deployed with something other than the default password) to complete the registration: Add vProxy Step 3 When you choose to add a proxy, you get a Wizard that allows you to select a proxy that has finished deployment, and add it to the environment: Add vProxy Step 2 Since I’d upgraded my environment, to test out the interface, I decided to add the newly deployed NetWorker 18.1 vProxy via the WebUI. Once you’ve logged in, you’re presented with the WebUI interface, which for the moment is focused on virtualisation.

To login, I entered my NetWorker/NMC username/password, and the NetWorker server I wanted to connect to: NetWorker Login Credentials This will bring you to the login form for the WebUI server: Login Form for NetWorker WebUI Server Once that’s been done, you can access the WebUI server by browsing to servername:9090/nwui. In this case it was as simple as running rpm -ivh lgtonwuiserv-18.1.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm, then executing the post-install script, which establishes connectivity between the WebUI server and the NetWorker authentication service. My NetWorker server is Linux, so after doing the preparatory work and upgrading the previously installed NetWorker packages, I also needed to install the WebUI server package: NetWorker Server WebUI Package

Having just upgraded my lab NetWorker server from 9.2.1.1 to 18.1, I wanted to go through the WebUI a little bit.

While NMC is still present in NetWorker 18.1, the WebUI is there and can be used for some functions, with those functions to be expanded more fully in time. In my previous post, I mentioned how NetWorker 18.1 introduces the WebUI.
