Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide
You can use the Web client to perform backup, archive, restore, and
retrieve operations from workstations or platforms that support at least a JRE
1.3.1 Swing-enabled browser. The Web client facilitates
the use of assistive devices for users with disabilities and contains improved
keyboard navigation. The native look and feel of the platform running
the browser is preserved.
The Web client runs on the following browsers:
- Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later with the Java support option
installed.
- Netscape Navigator 4.7 or later with Java Plug-in
1.3.1
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later with Java Plug-in
1.3.1
You can use the Web client in conjunction with Tivoli Storage
Manager Web Client Agent for NetWare to provide a graphical user interface
from a Web browser.
To run the Web Client from Netscape browsers, Enable
JavaScript must be checked. This setting is enabled by default,
but to verify it:
- Open Netscape Navigator's Edit menu and select
Preferences.
- In the Preferences dialog under Category, select
Advanced.
- Ensure there is a check mark next to Enable JavaScript.
For Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers, you must enable the
Scripting of Java applets. This setting is also enabled by
default, but to verify it:
- Open the Tools menu and select Internet Options
- From the Internet Options dialog, select the Security
tab.
- Click the Web content zone in which you will be using the Tivoli Storage
Manager Web client and then click the Custom Level button.
- In the Security Settings dialog, ensure that Enable is selected
under the Scripting of Java applets setting.
If your browser does not have the correct level of the Java plug-in,
the Web client will notify you and will try to automatically install the
correct plug-in for you.
- For Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers: The Web client will
automatically download and install the 1.3.1_01 JRE Plug-in for
you. If a different level of the JRE exists on your workstation, the
1.3.1_01 JRE is installed into a separate directory.
- For Netscape browsers: The Tivoli Storage Manager Web client will
provide the link to the web site where you can download the latest
1.3.1 plug-in. Netscape browsers do not support the
automated plug-in and JRE installation.
- For browsers running on HP, AIX, and SGI platforms: Downloading the
plug-in and JRE requires registration at their web sites, so the Tivoli
Storage Manager Web client cannot automate the JRE installation on these
platforms. Instead, the Web client displays a message containing a link
to the appropriate URL from which you can manually install the JRE.
You can download and install the JRE 1.3.1 (unless
otherwise noted) plug-in manually from the appropriate URL:
- For Windows, Solaris, Linux:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/
- AIX:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/index.html
Version 1.3.0
- HP-UX:
http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/sdkrte1_3/downloads/index.html
- SGI IRIX:
http://www.sgi.com/developers/devtools/languages/javaplugin131.html
- Note:
- Note for proxy server users: The JRE
1.3.1 may return a security exception if the Tivoli Storage
Manager Web Client attempts to open a TCP/IP socket to a socks server to
communicate with the Tivoli Storage Manager Remote Client Agent. To
avoid this, you can use one of the following methods to bypass a proxy server,
allowing the Web client to establish a direct connection to the Agent
machine:
- Change your Java plug-in settings:
For Windows:
- Open the Windows Start menu and select Settings
--> Control Panel.
- In the Control Panel, double-click Java Plugin.
- In the Java Plug-In Control Panel, select the Proxies tab and
uncheck the Use browser settings check box.
For UNIX:
- Change directory to the installation directory of your JRE, and then
change directory to the bin directory.
- Run the JavaPluginControlPanel executable and click the
Proxies tab.
- Uncheck Use browser settings.
- Change your browser settings to enable a direct connection to the
Internet:
- For Netscape Navigator: Open the Edit menu and select
Preferences. Under Category, expand the Advanced
section, select Proxies, and click Direct connection to the
Internet.
- For Internet Explorer: Open the Tools menu and select
Internet Options.... Select the
Connections tab, and click the LAN Settings
button. Uncheck the Use a proxy server check box.
Additional information about running Swing applets can be found in
the Sun's Java Tutorial:

You can back up and restore your own data, or an administrator can
centralize the backup or restore operations of many clients. To use the
Web client, specify the URL of the client workstation running the Web client
in your Web browser. You also need to specify the local host port
number; the default is 1581. The Web client is supported when used
in conjunction with a Tivoli Storage Manager server that is Version 3 or
higher.
Note: Entering a different URL or pressing the browser
Back button during an operation disconnects the Web client and
causes the current operation to end.
