vSnap server administration reference
After the vSnap server is installed, registered, and initialized, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus automatically manages its use as a backup target. Volumes and snapshots are created and managed automatically based on the SLA policies that are defined in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.
However, you might still have to configure and administer certain aspects of vSnap, such as network configuration or storage pool management.
Managing vSnap using the command line interface
The vSnap command-line interface is the primary means of administering vSnap. Run the vsnap command to access the command line interface. The command can be invoked by the user ID serveradmin or any other operating system user who has vSnap admin privileges. Use the vsnap user create command to create additional operating system users that have these privileges. The initial serveradmin password is sppDP758.
By default, the serveradmin user is not assigned sudo privileges. To assign sudo privileges to the serveradmin user, log in to the vSnap server command line interface and enter the following command:
echo "serveradmin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >/etc/sudoers.d/serveradminThe command line interface consists of several commands and subcommands that manage various aspects of the system. See Storage management and Network management for details on using these commands. You can also pass the --help flag to any command or subcommand to view usage help, for example, vsnap --help or vsnap pool create --help.
Managing vSnap using the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus user interface
Some of the most common operations can also be completed from the IBM Spectrum Protect
Plus user interface. Log in to the user interface and
click in the navigation pane. Click the manage icon 
for a vSnap server to manage it.
