This is what I get as soon as I open the Admin Console:
All you probable need to do is to run the Java GUI as administrator. So right click on the program, hightlight more and open the file location. Then right click on the link and select "Run as administrator" (I often find it usefult o create a shortcut on my desktop for the Java GUI.
Alternately, install the Java console on a different machine (your Windows 10 desktop for instance) and run the GUI from there (no unusual steps are needed for a remote GUI).
The issue when running the GUI on the master server itself is to do with Windows permissions of various log files etc. that are created (as a side note, this problem doesn't occur for every installation and will depend on the security environment configured).
I hope this helps.
I will give that a try and let you know - thank you for the quick response.
So Run as Administrator did not work from the Master server. Installing Console on another machine, will see if that works.
One other question, my two test servers are not part of AD - just a Workgroup. Would that cause this issue? I didn't see anywhere in the docs where it was mandatory to be part of AD...?
No - being part of AD is not a requirement - the requirements are checked during the installation pre-checks, so if this all passed then you should be good to go).
Another thing to check - what user are you using to log into the GUI - if you are using your own account (rather than the local administrator) you may not be able to get the full UI up. For this you may need to set up the auth.conf to give yourself permission to get the full GUI. There is a template file provided in <INSTALL_PATH>\Veritas\Netbackup\Java.
If this doesn't address the issue, then continue on...
One thing I didn't ask is do all the services startup? Can you share the output of bpps, and the output when you run bpup (after first shutting down NetBackup with bpdown).
The other reason that the GUI just shows the BAR interface (rather than the full server interface) is that something went wrong with the installation/startup. The above two outputs may help to identify what's missing.
