NetWorker command: nwadmin
NAME
nwadmin, networker - graphical administration interface to NetWorker
SYNOPSIS
nwadmin [ -s server ]
networker [ -s server ]
DESCRIPTION
nwadmin is an X Window System application. It is used to administer
and monitor NetWorker servers.
The server's name can be specified with the -s server argument. When
no server is specified, nwadmin uses the server selection rules found
in nsr(1). When multiple NetWorker servers are accessible, they can be
selected from within the nwadmin command.
The nwadmin command is used to administer NetWorker servers.
You can do the following:
o Add and delete clients.
o Create and modify schedules that control save levels.
o Create and control client groups.
o Create and modify directives that control how data is saved.
o Recover or clone save sets.
o Clone backup volumes.
o Monitor NetWorker activity.
Some activities you can monitor from the console include:
o The current state of NetWorker servers.
o The amount of data saved.
o The clients currently saving data.
o Requests for mounting and unmounting volumes.
The graphical interfaces for backup and recover are available through
nwbackup(1) and nwrecover(1), respectively.
For a complete explanation of the nwadmin command, see the NetWorker
Administrator's Guide.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
NWADMIN_POLL
Set the default nwadmin polling interval to the designated num-
ber of seconds. Must be a positive integer value. The maximum
allowed value is constrained by the Networker*PollScale.maximum
value in the Networker app-defaults file. The polling interval
controls how often nwadmin contacts the server in order to be
able to display latest status information, and can additionally
be changed via nwadmin's Options menu. If no value is set for
this environment variable, a default of 10 seconds will apply.
NWADMIN_POLL_MULT
Set the default nwadmin polling interval mulltiplier to the des-
ignated value. Must be a positive integer value. The maximum
allowed value is constrained by the Networker*PollMultScale.max-
imum value in the Networker app-defaults file. The polling
interval multiplier controls how much slower nwadmin will poll
the server when nwadmin is iconified. (Slower polling while
iconified helps decrease server load). Thus, if the polling
interval is set to 10 seconds and the multiplier is set to 6,
then polling happens once per minute when nwadmin is iconified,
and once every 10 seconds otherwise. The polling multiplier
value can additionally be changed via nwadmin's Options menu. If
no value is set for this environment variable, a default of 6
will apply.
