Administrator's Guide

Interfaces to ADSM

There are four types of interfaces to ADSM:

• Graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

  Note:

  A Version 3 administrative client GUI is available only for the Windows NT and Windows 95 operating systems. The Version 2 administrative client GUIs do not support all the functions available for a Version 3 server.

  For information about using the GUIs, see the online information or refer to ADSM Quick Start.

• The administrative client web interface. This interface is available with ADSM Version 3 servers. The administrative client web interface allows you to access ADSM server functions from any workstation with a web browser that supports HTML 2.0 or higher.

  For information about using the administrative client web interface, see ADSM Quick Start.

• The command-line interface. For information about using the command-line interface of the administrative client, see ADSM Administrator's Reference. For information about using the command-line interface of the backup-archive client, see the ADSM user's guide for that client.

• The application programming interface. For more information, see ADSM V3 Using the Application Program Interface.
