NBU Appliance Web GUI Architecture
Hi Team, I want to understand how NBU Appliance web console works, as in what is running on an appliance(python or any other language) to access Netbackup data and then what is making it accessible...

Doh - my bad - your question is re Appliance Console. I would expect something similar in that right at the bottom layer then any info request, or action, then always a process is executed to run NetBackup CLI commands. So, some HTML application code will be sending commands to the Http server daemon to have some commands executed and text output sent back and then the returned tex is processsrd:filtered and displayed by yet more html code.
As far as I know this isn't documented for customers or partners, Veritas really want users to treat an Appliance as a "black-box". In the past it was possible (but very unsupported) to install Appliance ISOs under VMware which you may be able use to take a look around safely if you really want. Good luck, Andrew
PS: If you install on VMware, it needs a very big install disk (say 160 GB) but it can be thin provisioned. Not sure if this still works post N2.7 (NBU 7.7) which is based on RHEL. Also for me it wouldn't work on Hyper-V...
