NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Configuring an isolated recovery environment using the web UI

Perform the following steps to configure an isolated recovery environment using the NetBackup web UI.

Note:

You can also configure and manage an IRE from the deduplication shell. See the NetBackup Deduplication Guide for more details.

IRE web UI relies on Storage Platform Web Service (spws) on the IRE MSDP storage server. If the IRE MSDP storage server runs on a BYO media server, ensure that the spws service is configured and running. Ensure that NGINX is installed and started before you configure spws service.

See Storage Platform Web Service (spws) does not start. to configure spws service.
