Management Console access problem

Dear NW Users,

i have upgraded my nw 7.1.3 to 7.3. So far it looks good. But i have trouble accessing the Management Console.

The console is installed on the server. When i connect with Internet Explorer http://x.x.x.x:9000 i get the "Welcome Page". After pressing start, the java start begins till i get the Console Login. After entering the standard user the window dissappears and nothing more happens.

I use WinXP with latest Hotfixes, IE 6. I also have multiple java versions installed as i need them for different applications.

I tried on another WinXP Box with only JRE 1.4.2 and got the same result. Upgraded to 1.4.9 and no difference.

Suggestions? Ideas?

Best regards,

Marcus Albrecht

    I haven't tried it, but is there any pop-up blocker installed?

    Don't know about Nw 7.3, but some applications (like Microsoft's CRM) open in a pop-up window (don't ask me why!!)

    Only my 2 cents...

    If that fails I'd suggest reinstalling the Networker software.

    My concern here would be the multiple java instances. Have you tried from a client with 7.3 installed and just one version of java installed.

    There could be few things:
    - your firewall on the box is killing the session (happened to me)
    - something went wrong during installation of NMC and its SQLAnywhere database so you will need to reinstall NMC component (highly unlikely)
    - java problems (most common thing)

    In case of java, try to clear the cache and if using proxy remove it (all these steps should be performed from javaws).

    Hi there.

    Have you checked the log file for any errors? (...\Legato\Management\GST\logs\gstd.log)

    It must have been an firewall issue.

    The backupserver was in our dmz and my pc, from wich i wanted to access the console, was in our admin lan.

    I tried to access the console from am windows server in the same dmz and then it worked. I will now check the documentation and hope the finde the ports to open in the firewall.

    Best regards
