Protect AHV VMs within VPC
With the release of NetBackup 10.2, virtual machines hosted on Virtual Private network within the Nutanix Prism Central Server can be protected. NetBackup additionally protects the following attributes of the VMs using the configured Nutanix Prism Central.
: A set of users with a common set of requirements or a common structure and function. Projects provide logical groupings of user roles for managing resource usage.
: A category is a grouping of entities into a key value pair. Typically, new entities are assigned to a category based on some criteria. Policies can then be tied to those entities that are assigned (grouped by) a specific category value.
: Primary and secondary IPs assigned to VMs within VPC.
: The user/owner of the project where CALM is co-deployed within the Nutanix Prism Central.
To protect VMs on VPC
- Configure Nutanix Prism Central.
Note:
For configured cluster, NetBackup uses Nutanix Prism Central to protect additional attributes for VM, only if Use Prism Central check box is selected.
- Add all the Nutanix AHV clusters in NetBackup with Use Prism Central check box as selected.
- For complete information on protecting VMs, see the following section:
Note:
If you select Automatic option in a protection plan to Select server or host to use for backups and the storage unit is associated with NetBackup media server version older than 10.2. Then, the backup job might use the older media server as a backup host.
In this case, the backup job is completed without protecting Nutanix Prism central attributes.
