Introducing Data Protector

Using the Data Protector User Interface

If the GUI concerned is running on Windows, the Help Navigator is dynamic: Once it is started, its contents automatically change as you go to the next page of the wizard or to another view in the Data Protector user interface.

To start the Help Navigator, either:

•Press F1

•Click Help Navigator from the Help menu, or

•Click the Help Navigator icon (the question mark) on the button bar

Using the Online Manuals

Data Protector provides online manuals in PDF format that can be read using the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Once installed, the online manuals reside in the <Data_Protector_home>\docs directory (Windows) or the /opt/omni/doc/C directory (HP-UX or Solaris) on the Cell Manager system.

Using Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

On Windows systems, it is possible to integrate the Data Protector GUI with the Microsoft Management Console.

The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that lets you manage and run your administrative tools within a common interface environment. You can add already installed software, hardware, or network management applications to the console, where the primary type of tool that can be added to the console is called a snap-in.

The Data Protector snap-in, known as OB2_Snap, provides a basic integration of Data Protector and the MMC. Using OB2_Snap, you can go to the Data Protector home page or to Data Protector Web/Java Reporting. You can also start the Data Protector GUI on Windows from the MMC.

Proceed as follows to add OB2_Snap to the MMC.

1.Download the MMC software from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/.

2.From the Windows desktop, click Start, and then select Run.
