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 an Administrative Client. To end a Web interface session, select Log Off, from the Options pull down menu.

Note:
To use the administrative Web interface, your browser must have Java 1.1.6 support. See System Requirements for a list of supported browsers.

Tivoli Storage Manager Server Administration has four major views:

Operation View
Network View
Configuration View
Object View

The following sections contain details about each view.

Figure 44 shows the four major views of the Web interface with the Operation view partially expanded.

Attention

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.
