Choosing the Application Recovery Manager
User Interface System
Application Recovery Manager provides the GUI and CLI. The user
interface is installed as an Application Recovery Manager software
component.
The system selected to control the cell will be used by a network
administrator or a backup operator.
However, in a large computer environment, it may be desirable to have
several systems on which the user interface runs.
The Application Recovery Manager GUI is simple to handle in
heterogeneous environments, because changing the locale is not
necessary.
See the http://www.hp.com/support/manuals
for details on supported
operating system versions/releases for the user interface. For more
information on local language support and the usage of non-ASCII
characters in file names, refer to online Help index: “language settings,
customizing”.
Once you have installed the user interface on a system in the cell, you
can remotely access the Cell Manager from that system. You do not have
to use the graphical user interface system on the Cell Manager.
The Application Recovery Manager Graphical User
Interface
The Application Recovery Manager GUI is a powerful tool that provides
easy access to the Application Recovery Manager functionality. The main
window contains several views, such as Clients, Users, Backup,
Monitor, Instant Recovery, and Internal Database, allowing you to
perform all related tasks.
For example, in the Clients view, you can remotely install (add) clients
by specifying all the target systems and defining the installation paths
and options which are sent to the specified Installation Server. When the
setup on the client is running, a user sees only installation specific
messages displayed in the monitor window.
