And if you're going to do that, try 'MobaXterm'. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Lightner, Jeff Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 10:02 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel
When you say "NetBackup Administration Console" exactly what command are you running? The jnbSA can actually be started from UNIX/Linux but since it is Java is sending an X window to you. If the console you're talking about is also Java/X you have to enable X forwarding in your PuTTY session. The specific setting is under Connection-->SSH-->X11. In that screen click the check box next to Enable X11 forwarding. It defaults to MIT-Magic-Cookie-1. Once you have that and do the login to the server via PuTTY it will create a .Xauthority file in your UNIX/Linux user's home directory and also set your DISPLAY variable (echo $DISPLAY to see what it set it to - usually something like localhost:0.0). That prepares the connection to allow X applications to be launched and tunneled back over the same connection to your Windows system. However, Windows by default doesn't understand X so you have to have an X emulator installed (and running) on Windows. A common commercial one many people use is Exceed. A free one you can get by installing Cygwin (Linux on top of Windows) on your Windows system with the X11 packages. -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of richarn Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 9:09 AM To: VERITAS-BU@MAILMAN.ENG.AUBURN.EDU Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup Administration Console via putty tunnel I am trying to use the Netbackup Administration Console as I believe it has certain advantages over the jnbSA jave interface. There are fire walls between my Windows machine where I want to run Administration Console and the redhat server which is the netbackup master server. To this end I have been trying to use putty tunnelling opening up ports 1556 13724 and 13782. I have heard on this forum that this is possible but I cannot get it to work. It would be great if someone could give me some information on how to do this.
