Configuring settings
The Kubernetes settings let you configure the various aspects of the Kubernetes deployment.
With this setting you can control the number of backups that can be performed simultaneously on Kubernetes clusters. For example, if you protect 20 assets, and you have set the limit to 5, only five assets can perform backup simultaneously, rest of the 15 assets stand in a queue. After one of the first 5 assets completes the backup, an asset from the queue takes its place.
The default value for this resource limit is 1. Indicating that only one backup job per cluster can be in progress, while the rest of the assets are the queued state.
Configuring this setting is recommended for optimized use of your system and network resources. The settings apply to all Kubernetes backups for the selected primary server.
To set the resource limit
- On the left, Workloads > Kubernetes.
- On top right, click Kubernetes settings > Resource limits.
- Click Edit, next to Backup jobs per Kubernetes cluster.
- In the Edit Kubernetes cluster dialog:
Enter a value in the Global field, to set a global limit for all the clusters. This limit denotes the number of backup jobs that are performed simultaneously on a cluster.
You can add individual limits to the clusters that override the global limit for that cluster. To set individual limits to the clusters, click Add.
Select a cluster from the list and enter a value for the limit. You can add limits to each available cluster in your deployment.
Click Save to save the changes.
Autodiscovery keeps a count of the NetBackup protected assets in your clusters. This setting lets you set the frequency by which NetBackup runs autodiscovery to locate new assets in your clusters and gather count of the assets that are removed or deleted from the clusters.
Possible values are between 5 minutes to one year. The default value is 30 minutes.
To set the autodiscovery frequency
- On the left, click Workloads > Kubernetes.
- On top-right, click Kubernetes settings > Autodiscovery.
- Click Edit, near Frequency.
- Enter the number of hours after which NetBackup runs autodiscovery. Click Save.
Using manage permissions, you can assign different access privileges to the user roles. For more information see the Managing role-based access control chapter in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.
