Once you’re satisfied with your selections, press the Save button to save the changes. If, after having
previously saved difference sections, you want to return the screen to the default (Classic) font and colors,
press the
Default button or select Classic from the Theme drop-down, then Save the settings again.
As soon as you save your settings, a confirmation dialog box will appear, and when selecting to continue,
all windows except the
Main Screen will be closed. The Main Screen will then be updated to reflect your
selection. All windows opened from this point will display the selected settings.
Check for Updates
When launching the Administrator, the application will contact the Storix website in order to compare the
currently running version of SBAdmin with the latest version available. If you are not running the most
current version, a note will be displayed at the bottom of the interface. You may prevent this communication
from occurring by selecting “No” to this option.
Network Options
Network Interface
By default, the admin system will use the network adapter associated with the default hostname of the
system when communicating with clients. If the system has multiple network adapters, you may choose
a different network, which will only be used for communicating between this admin system and the
clients. To do so, select
File !Preferences!General Preferences from the menu bar, go to the
Network Options section, and enter the IP address or hostname in the “IP address or hostname of
the network interface…” field. If you want the system to go back to using the default adapter
(according to the primary hostname of the system), simply remove the entry from this field.
The network adapter selected will be used to pass information between the admin
system and clients, such as backup status messages, command output, and for
polling the system availability. It is NOT used to pass the actual backup data, which
is sent directly from the clients to the TSM servers.
Important! After setting this value, some or all of the clients servers may show as unavailable when
the
Clients, Servers and Devices are displayed on the Main Screen. If this should occur, it means that
the client does not have the admin system defined using the alternate network adapter. To resolve this
problem, edit the /storix/config/system_admin_hosts file on the client (where /storix is the data
directory you chose when you installed the software), and either change the existing admin system
hostname, or add the new admin system hostname on a line by itself.
