Installing NWUI on Linux

Watch on YouTube
 

1. Connect to the host with the root account.
2. Download the NetWorker Management Web UI software package from the Dell Online Support website.
    

3. Extract the files by typing the tar command. For example:

tar -xvf file_name.tar.gz

[root@lnx-nwserv]:~# tar xf nw1910_linux_x86_64.tar.gz ; cd linux_x86_64 ; ls -l | grep nwui
-rw-r--r--. 1 root games 191592892 Jan  9 12:40 lgtonwui-19.10.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--. 1 root games 177367524 Jan  9 12:40 lgtonwuiserv-19.10.0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
[root@lnx-nwserv]:~/linux_x86_64#

There are two RPM files for the NWUI:

• lgtonwui: For installing on a host which is not the NetWorker server. This installs a new Apache Tomcat instance on the host for use by NWUI.
• lgtonwuiserv: For installing on a NetWorker server

4. From the directory that contains the extracted NetWorker software packages, use the rpm command to install the required NetWorker Management Web UI package.

cd linux_x86_64 ; rpm -ivh lgtonwuiserv-*.rpm

cd linux_x86_64 ; rpm -ivh lgtonwui-*.rpm

5. When prompted, start the NWUI configure script: 

/opt/nwui/scripts/mcui_configure.sh

[root@lnx-nwserv]:~/linux_x86_64# /opt/nwui/scripts/nwui_configure.sh

• Local: Provide the NetWorker Authentication Service hostname. The authentication host is the NetWorker server unless a separate host is used for authentication in this datazone.
• Remote: Use the java installation. Specify a keystore password. Provide the hostname of the NetWorker Authentication Service host (usually the NetWorker server) and its port.

Specify the directory where the Java Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE) software is installed [/opt/nre/java/latest]:

Specify the host name of the NetWorker Authentication Service host [lnx-nwserv]: 

Specify the host name of the NetWorker Server to be Managed by NWUI [lnx-nwserv]: 

Specify the AUTHC port for Networker Server which is managed by NWUI [9090]: 

The NetWorker Web UI Server requires a keystore file to configure encryption and to provide SSL support. 
EMC recommends that you specify a password that has a minimum of nine characters, 
with at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one number and one special character. 

The installation process will create a new keystore file. 

Specify the keystore password: 
Confirm the password: 

The installation completed successfully.

6. Start the NWUI service.

[root@lnx-nwserv]:~# systemctl status nwui
● nwui.service - NetWorker Management Web UI Server
   Loaded: loaded (/opt/nwui/scripts/nwui.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Thu 2024-01-25 16:55:06 EST; 5min ago
