Certificate-based transport layer security (TLS) authentication
Starting with NetBackup 10.3, the credential-based authentication has been replaced with certificate-based transport layer security (TLS) authentication between NetBackup primary server and Snapshot Manager. Snapshot Manager will continue to provide support for NetBackup CA/external CA configurations.
The flexsnap_configure CLI resides on Snapshot Manager and has been enhanced to provide a simplified deployment experience. It is a wrapper over multiple supportability options, such as:
Checking health status of containers
Install-uninstall and start-stop containers
Serverinfo option fetches certificate information from Primary server and Snapshot Manager hosts
Verify option validates health of the ECA certificates
Truststore option lists or updates Snapshot Manager truststore
Renew option used for Snapshot Manager and extension certificate renewal
The Snapshot Manager upgrade will seamlessly handle on-premises Storage and Cloud workload scenarios.
The back-level media servers and clients will use dynamically generated temporary credentials in place of older Snapshot Manager credentials and will continue to work seamlessly with the NetBackup 10.3 primary server and Snapshot Manager.
Other deployments methods such as Marketplace and Cloud Scale have also been updated.
