  • In case of NetWorker 7.4/7.5/7.6, you can use the NetWorker Management Console to configure NetWorker. For the NetWorker Management Console, see the NetWorker manuals.

Procedure

Follow the procedure below if you use the NetWorker Administrator program (nwadmin).

  1. Ensure that the NetWorker server is running normally on the OPERATING node.
    When the NetWorker server is running on the OPERATING node, enter NetWorker licenses after PRIMECLUSTER, NetWorker, and PRIMECLUSTER Wizard for NetWorker are installed.

  2. Login to the OPERATING node as superuser.

  3. Start the NetWorker Administrator program (nwadmin).
