Adding Kubernetes clusters

You can add Kubernetes clusters in NetBackup and discover all the assets inside the cluster automatically. For asset discovery to take place after you add the cluster, you need to add operator configuration to the cluster.

To add a cluster

  1. On the left click Kubernetes, under Workloads.
  2. Click the Kubernetes clusters tab, click Add.
  3. In the Add Kubernetes cluster page, enter the following:
    • Cluster name: Enter a name for the cluster. The name should be a DNS resolvable value or an IP address.

    • Port: Enter the Kubernetes API server port number.

    • Controller namespace: Enter the namespace where the NetBackup Kubernetes operator is deployed in the Kubernetes cluster.

  4. Click Next. In the Manage credentials page, you can add credentials to the cluster.
    • To use an existing credential, choose Select from an existing credential, and click Next. In the next page, select the required credentials, and click Next.

    • To create a new credential, click Add credential, and click Next. In the Manage credentials page, enter the following:

      • Credential name: Enter a name of the credential.

      • Tag: Enter a tag to associate with the credential.

      • Description: Enter a description of the credential.

      • Token: Enter the authentication token value in Base64 encoded form.

      • CA certificate: Enter the CA certificate file contents.

  5. Click Next.

    The credentials are validated and on successful validation, the cluster is added. After the cluster is added, autodiscovery runs to discover available assets in the cluster.
