Changes in vCenter plug-in support
Note the following changes and features for the vCenter plug-in:
The plug-in is installed on the NetBackup server itself and is registered with the desired vCenter.
This plug-in is based on the new Remote Plug-in Architecture that is provided by VMware version 6.7 U1 and later. Therefore, NetBackup 10.0 is supported from vCenter with version 6.7 U1 and later.
The plug-in must be registered with each NetBackup primary server which is to be monitored for backups of virtual machines that vCenter servers manage.
For vCenter 7.0 onwards, registration of multiple primary servers is possible. For versions from 6.7 U1 up to 7.0, it is only possible to register one primary server. Therefore, starting with vCenter 7.0, multiple NetBackup servers can be available for selection during plug-in login.
It is mandatory to explicitly log in to the plug-in. The user needs to have valid NetBackup user credentials.
Note:
Login is required only when managing recovery and instant recovery. However, it is not needed for monitoring purposes.
To access and manage the backup and recovery of the virtual machines performed by a specific NetBackup server, you must select the same NetBackup server while logging in to the plug-in.
The plug-in supports registration only from the primary servers and not the media servers.
If you have a NetBackup version earlier than version 10.0, continue to use the earlier version of the plug-in along with the new 10.0 version. Otherwise, it is recommended to uninstall the earlier version of the plug-in.
Version 10.0 of the plug-in is supported for NetBackup 10.0 onwards. Earlier versions of the plug-in do not support NetBackup 10.0 onwards.
Template-based VM recovery and discovery is not supported by the plug-in.
Recovery and discovery of VMs created with VMware templates is not supported by the plug-in.
NetBackup Appliance with vCenter 6.7 is not supported by the plug-in.
Starting with NetBackup 10.0, the plug-in does not support NetBackup Appliance with vCenter 6.7 U1, U2 and U3. However it supports the NetBackup Appliance with vCenter 7.0.
