Web Interface Installation Guide Version 8.
Web Interface Installation Guide The purpose of this document is to provide the steps necessary to configure and use the SBAdmin Web Interface. The SBAdmin Web Interface is an alternative to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or command-line (CLI) options for managing backups and restores. Because of limitations in web technologies, some options will be presented differently than with the GUI.
Configuring and starting the web server During the initial installation of the software, you will be asked if you want to configure the SBAdmin Web Interface. If you choose not to configure the web interface at that time, you can go back at any time and launch the program to configure and start the web server. You must be logged on as the “root” user to configure and start the web interface. From a terminal on your Administrator system type “stconfigweb” and answer the questions that follow.
Linux /etc/init.d/sthttpd restart Solaris /etc/init.d/sthttpd restart AIX # cat /storix/config/sthttpd.pid (assuming /storix is your data directory) This command will provide you with the process ID that needs to be killed with the following command. # kill -2 PID # /usr/lpp/storix/bin/lighttpd –f /storix/config/sthttpd.conf Storix System Backup Administrator 4 Web Interface Installation Guide Copyright © 2014 Storix, Inc.

Using the SBAdmin Web Interface From one of the recommended web browsers (see above), enter the URL supplied at the end of the configuration. You should see a login window. Enter the username and password you supplied during the configuration. Once you log into the interface, you will see a navigation menu with a drop-down list of available options. From this point, most of the options will be similar to the Graphical User Interface.
Differences between the GUI and Web Interface Web technology is becoming more and more advanced and will no longer have many of the limitations that prevent a web application from behaving like a native GUI application. To date, the most difficult obstacle is browser compatibility. Due to these inconsistencies some features available in the SBAdmin GUI application are either not available or they are presented in a different manner.
