Avamar 6.1


I am a Avamar newbie, I was just assigned to support this unit and was looking to see if some patient responders could answer me a few questions that I have regarding this backup solution. I have supported a Quantum DX30 before, which could be managed from within the unit and also ran on linux. Configuration was done via a web interface.

How does one login into the Avamar, through another device like a Linux or Windows server or straight through the unit itself? I asked because currently I have the Avamar ILO cabled to a enclosure KVM and I get no connectivity so either my ILO port is not functional or there is a second device that allows me to interface, which would mean a software install.

Thank you to htose that respond.

    Hi avamar610,

    I suggest you to refer to chapter 2 "Avamar Administrator" of "Avamar 6.1 Administration Guide", it will be helpful.

    I cannot access remotely, so logging in will be done in front of the unit with the MCUser account. The unit is not on our network, meaning it is in a workgroup. My online training starts 8/7 and I wanted to login and traverse the unit. So either I put a monitor/keyboard and or mouse to it or try and KVM it.

    I take it the Avamar server is self reliant and therefore no other device (server) is needed? The OS (Linux) is what you guys interface with either in front of the unit or via web? Is the ILO configured to be off by default? I'm sure someone else has it racked and connected to an enclosure KVM.

    Can you tell me how to changed the IP adress in my scenario? Is there a way to use a laptop and and cross over cable to communicate with the Avamar server. I believe if I change the wrong IP adressing it would communicate with the KVM.

    Thanks Leo li, the linked PDF allowed me to bypass the KVM and I find myself at a Linux login prompt. The former employee did not document this node, so my next quest is determining what EMC engineer is assigned to us. At some point the unsername and or password were changed. Thanks again for the help.
