Using the change server command to administer a remote server

Use the following procedure to change the NetBackup Administration Console to a different (or remote) server.

To use the change server command to administer a remote server

  1. Start the NetBackup Administration Console on the system:

    • To start the console on a Windows NetBackup server, select Start > Programs > Symantec NetBackup > NetBackup Administration Console.

    • To start the console on a Windows system with the NetBackup Remote Administration Console installed, select Start > Programs > Symantec NetBackup > NetBackup Administration Console.

      See Using the Remote Administration Console.

    • To start the console on the Windows system where the Java Windows Administration Console is installed, select Start > Programs > Symantec NetBackup > NetBackup-Java Version 7.0.

  2. Select File > Change Server.

  3. Enter or select the host name and click OK.

    If the user has the necessary permissions on both servers, the user can transition from one to another without setting up trust relationships.

    See Adding a server to a remote server list.

    If the user has administrative privileges on one server and different privileges on another server, the user is required to reauthenticate.

    Select File > Login as New User to reauthenticate from the NetBackup Administration Console. Or, close and reopen the NetBackup-Java Administration Console, then log in as a different user.
