After you log in, you see the Administrator Interface (AI). (See the following figure.) All procedures are executed from the AI, unless otherwise indicated.
Warning! It is recommended to perform all administration tasks using the Administrator Interface. The Unitrends operating system implementation is proprietary to Unitrends and should not be modified from the Linux command line unless following a certified Unitrends procedure. Performing general Linux command line administration tasks can have undesirable results.
The high-level structure of the AI consists of a three-pane window with the following components:
|
AI Components |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Main menu |
A series of icons used to access the system’s primary functions. You can select to view a drop-down list of options when you click on these icons. You can also choose to see the drop-down list in horizontal or vertical order. See Navigation pane options for more information. Note: The drop-down list does not necessarily show every option on the second level screen and may also include related options that are not on the second level screen. |
|
Navigation pane |
The left-most pane of the AI contains a tree of customers, locations, backup systems, replication systems, and clients (a client is typically a customer's server). |
|
Center Stage |
The area to the right of the Navigation pane is called the Center Stage. Information displayed here is determined by the elements you have selected from both the Main menu and Navigation pane. The Center Stage may be presented as a single area or a subdivided area based on your selections. |
