About the Vault administration interface

The information in this section applies to UNIX and Linux systems only.

The Vault Administration interface lets you configure and run Vault from a text-based menu. You can perform the same actions in the Vault Administration menu.

You can use the Vault Administration interface from any character-based terminal (or terminal emulation window) that has a termcap definition or terminfo definition. Use the vltadm command to start the Vault Administration interface, and run the vltadm command only from the UNIX system on which the NetBackup primary server resides. You must have root privileges to run the vltadm command.

The vltadm command and interface are available on UNIX systems only.

The vltadm command resides in the following directory:

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin

When you run the vltadm command, the following menu appears in the terminal window:
