Deploying NetBackup and Snapshot Manager
After the operators are deployed as mentioned in the following section, you can deploy the NetBackup and Snapshot Manager environment:
To deploy NetBackup primary, media and Snapshot Manager components
- Create a Kubernetes namespace where your new NetBackup environment will run. Run the following command:
kubectl create namespace nb-example
Where, nb-example is the name of the namespace. The Primary, Media, and Snapshot Manager application namespace must be different from the one used by the operators. It is recommended to use two namespaces. One for the operators, and a second one for the applications.
- Create a secret to hold the Snapshot Manager credentials. The secret must include fields for username and password. If you are creating the secret by YAML, the type should be opaque or basic-auth.
For example:
apiVersion: v1 stringData: password: p@ssw0rd username: cpuser kind: Secret metadata: name: cp-creds namespace: nb-example type: Opaque
You can also use this command to create a secret.
kubectl create secret generic cp-credentials --namespace nb-example --from-literal=username='cpuser' --from-literal=password='p@ssw0rd'
- Configure the
samples/environment.yamlfile according to your requirements. This file defines a primary server, media servers, and Snapshot Manager servers.See Configuring theenvironment.yamlfile. for details. - Apply the
environment.yamlfile, using the same application namespace created in the above step.kubectl apply --namespace nb-example --filename environment.yaml
Use this command to verify the new environment resource in your cluster:
kubectl get --namespace nb-example environments
After a few minutes, NetBackup finishes starting up the primary server, media servers and Snapshot Manager servers in the sequence that you configured in the environment resource. Snapshot Manager is registered with NetBackup and cloud provider is configured automatically.
Run the following command:
kubectl get --namespace netbackup-environment all,environments,primaryservers,cpservers,mediaservers
The output would be displayed as follows:
$ kubectl get all,environments,primaryservers,mediaservers, cpservers,msdpscaleouts -n netbackup-environment NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
