Description: Snap Domain Management

To set this up do the following:
1. The easiest way to set up Domain Management (DM) on a remote machine to manage the NetVault server installed on Snap is to install the server version of the NetVault software on the remote machine. If you currently have client installed, uninstall the client version of the software from the DM machine and install the server version to the DM machine.

2. On the DM machine, launch the NetVault GUI. From the Administration drop down menu on the main gui (DM machine) and select Domain Management. Add the actual NetVault server to the Controlling server side. Once added right click on that machine and select Make Default.

3. Close the GUI on the DM machine then reopen it. You should now be controlling the NetVault server that’s running on the Snap box.

If you are prompted for a password it would be for the NetVault installation on the Snap server. Verify the server name in the password dialog box as well as the user that is shown. If the user is ‘ default ‘, just hit enter. The user named default does not have a password.
