NetBackup™ Deployment Guide for Kubernetes Clusters

Note down the MSDP operator Namespace, NodeSelector, StorageClassName, Tolerations and Image tag as follows:

Obtain the name of the msdp operator statefulset using the following command:

kubectl get statefulset -n <msdp-operator-system-namespace>

Use the following command to backup MSDP operator Image tag, Tolerations, and NodeSelector:

kubectl get sts <msdp-operator-statefulset-name> -n <msdp-operator-sample-namespace> -o=jsonpath='{"Namespace :"}{$.metadata.namespace}{$"\nImage :"}{$.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}{$"\nNodeSelector :"}{$.spec.template.spec.nodeSelector}{$"\nTolerations :"}{$.spec.template.spec.tolerations[2]}{$"\nStorageClassName :"}{$.spec.volumeClaimTemplates[0].spec.storageClassName}{$"\n"}'

From the output, note down the Image tag, StorageClassName, Tolerations and NodeSelector:

Sample Output:
Namespace :msdp-operator-system
Image :nbuk8sreg.azurecr.io/msdp-operator:20.4
NodeSelector :{"agentpool":"nbuxpool"}
Tolerations :{"key":"agentpool","operator":"Equal","value":"nbuxpool"}
StorageClassName :managed-csi-hdd

If toleration is not provided for msdp operator, then use the following command:

kubectl get sts <msdp-operator-statefulset-name> -n <msdp-operator-sample-namespace> -o=jsonpath='{"Namespace :"}{$.metadata.namespace}{$"\nImage :"}{$.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}{$"\nNodeSelector :"}{$.spec.template.spec.nodeSelector}{$"\nStorageClassName :"}{$.spec.volumeClaimTemplates[0].spec.storageClassName}{$"\n"}'

Sample Output:
Namespace :msdp-operator-system
Image :nbuk8sreg.azurecr.io/msdp-operator:20.4
NodeSelector :{"agentpool":"nbuxpool"}
StorageClassName :managed-csi-hdd

Note down the NetBackup operator Namespace, NodeSelector, Tolerations and Image tag as follows:

Obtain the name of the NetBackup operator deployment using the following command:

kubectl get deployment -n <netbackup-operator-system-namespace>

Use the following command to backup NetBackup operator Image tag, Tolerations, and NodeSelector:

kubectl get deployment <netbackup-operator-deployment-name> -n <netbackup-operator-system-namespace> -o=jsonpath='{"Namespace :"}{$.metadata.namespace}{$"\nImage :"}{$.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}{$"\nNodeSelector :"}{$.spec.template.spec.nodeSelector}{$"\nTolerations: "}{$.spec.template.spec.tolerations}{$"\n"}'

From the output, note down the Image tag, Tolerations and NodeSelector:

Sample Output:
Namespace :netbackup-operator-system
Image :nbuk8sreg.azurecr.io/netbackup/operator:10.4
NodeSelector :{"agentpool":"agentpool"}
Tolerations: [{"key":"agentpool","operator":"Equal","value":"agentpool"}]

Note down the flexsnap-operator Namespace, NodeSelector, Tolerations and Image tag as follows:

Obtain the name of the flexsnap-operator deployment using the following command:

kubectl get deployment -n <netbackup-operator-system-namespace>

Use the following command to backup flexsnap operator Image tag, Tolerations, and NodeSelector:

kubectl get deployment <flexsnap-operator-deployment-name> -n <netbackup-operator-system-namespace> -o=jsonpath='{"Namespace :"}{$.metadata.namespace}{$"\nImage :"}{$.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}{$"\nNodeSelector :"}{$.spec.template.spec.affinity.nodeAffinity.requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution.nodeSelectorTerms[0].matchExpressions[0]}{$"\nTolerations :"}{$.spec.template.spec.tolerations}{$"\n"}'

From the output, note down the Image tag, Tolerations and NodeSelector:

Sample Output:
Namespace :netbackup-operator-system
Image :nbuk8sreg.azurecr.io/veritas/flexsnap-deploy:10.4
NodeSelector :{"key":"agentpool","operator":"In","values":["agentpool"]}
Tolerations :[{"effect":"NoSchedule","key":"agentpool","operator":"Equal","value":"agentpool"}]

(For DBaaS) Note the FQDN of the Postgres server created.

Note the Postgres unified container image tag, containerPort (use only in case you created unified container):

k get statefulset.apps/nb-postgresql -n <sample-namespace> -o=jsonpath='{$"\nImage :"}{$.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}{$"\ncontainerPort :"}{$.spec.template.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}{$"\n"}'

Sample output:

Image :cpautomation.azurecr.io/netbackup/postgresql:10.4
 
containerPort :13787

Save the environment CR as follows:

Obtain the name of environment using the following command:

kubectl get environment -n <sample-namespace>

Save the environment yaml file:

kubectl get environment <environment-name> -n <sample-namespace> -o yaml> environment_backup.yaml

For example, kubectl get environment environment-sample -n example-ns -o yaml> environment_backup.yaml

Note down and save the following values (names) of the secrets obtained from environment_backup.yaml file in the above step:

credSecretName, kmsDBSecret, drInfoSecretName, dbSecretName, keySecret, secretName (Msdp credential), secretName (s3Credential), secretName (Snapshot Manager credential)

For example, credSecretName: primary-credential-secret

Save the secrets yaml file as follows:

kubectl get secret <secret-name1> <secret-name2> <secret-name3> -n <sample-namespace> -o yaml > secret_backup.yaml

For example, kubectl get secret primary-credential-secret kms-secret example-key-secret -n example-ns -o yaml > secret_backup.yaml

Save the secrets named as Msdp credential and drInfoSecret during creation. As the operator would delete these secrets after using it.

Note the values (names) of the secretProviderClass.

For example, dbSecretProviderClass: db-secret-provider-class

Save the secretProviderClassyaml file using the following command:

kubectl get secretproviderclass <secretproviderclass-name> -n <sample-namespace> -o yaml > secretproviderclass_backup.yaml

Note the following values (names) of configMap from environment_backup.yaml file saved in step 1 above:

emailServerConfigmapName, proxySettings

For example, emailServerConfigmapName: email-server-configuration

Save the configMaps yaml using the following command:

kubectl get configmap <configmap-name1> <configmap-name2> <configmap-name3> -n <sample-namespace> -o yaml >configmap_backup.yaml

For example, kubectl get configmap email-server-configuration -n example-ns -o yaml > configmap_backup.yaml

Save internal configmap yaml using the following command:

kubectl get configmap nbu-media-autoscaler-configmap flexsnap-conf nbuconf -n <sample-namespace> -o yaml > internalconfigmap_backup.yaml

Save the value of emailServerConfigmap. The operator would delete this configmap after using it.

Note the details of cloud STU used for MSDP storage, such as name of bucket, volume, credential and the respective details added through Credential management in UI.
