Accessing Zmanda Management Console
Zmanda Management Console is accessed using a web browser. Amanda Enterprise is supported on latest version of Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox and Google Chrome.
Please access https://<host name of the Amanda server>/ if you are using default port. If you had changed the port number using installation, please use URL https://<host name of the Amanda server>:<port number>/
The default port is 443. Please make sure access to this port is allowed by network configuration (such as firewalls).
If you are running Amanda Enterprise and ZRM Enterprise products on the same server, you will have to use port number configured during Amanda Enterprise installation to access both Amanda Management console and ZRM Management console.
ZMC Login Page
This is the first page of Zmanda Management Console. If you are running Amanda Enterprise and ZRM Enterprise products on the same server, you will get a product selection page.
The default user is admin/admin Please change the password in the ZMC Admin Users page. This user is different from Zmanda Network user and operating system user.
If you are making changes to Backup Sets manually, you should enable Sync Backup Sets at the time of login process. Otherwise, ZMC will present incorrect information.
ZMC can check the Amanda server installation and dependencies at the time of login. This process can take time. You should enable Check Server Installation when you are logging in the first time or if you logging in after hardware or OS upgrade. If there are errors in server installation, please resolve them before a backup or restore job is started. Please note that these checks are not the same as the client checks performed by the Check Hosts action in the Backup What page.
Lost Password
If you do not remember the password, please click Can't access your account? link. You will see the following section as shown below. Please enter the ZMC user name in the Lost Password section.
Please enter the ZMC user name in the Lost Password section. Please note that password will be mailed to the mail address registered to the ZMC user account. Please note that email service should be configured on the Amanda backup server to receive the lost password email.
Zmanda Network Authentication
ZMC will ask Zmanda Network User name and password if you login as admin user. This authentication allows ZMC to connect to Zmanda Network to authenticate the user as well as obtain alerts including security alerts.
Zmanda Network Authentication is not supported when Web proxy server is in use. If there is a web proxy server or there is no internet connection on the Amanda server, please select Cancel button.
Zmanda Network Authentication is performed every time ZMC admin user logs in.
