OpenStack Credentials information
The NetBackup for OpenStack appliance integrates with one RHV environment. This block asks for the information that is required to access and connect with the RHV Cluster.
Keystone URL
The Keystone endpoint that is used to fetch authentication for configuration.
Format: URL
Example: https://keystone.nbos.io:5000/v3
Endpoint Type
Defines which endpoint type is used to communicate with the OpenStack endpoints. NetBackup for OpenStack supports public endpoints and internal endpoints.
Format: Predefined list of radio buttons
Example: Public
When FQDNs are used for the Keystone endpoints it is necessary to configure at least one DNS server before the configuration.
Otherwise, the validation of the OpenStack Credentials fails.
Domain ID
The domain of the provided user and the tenant
Format: ID
Example: Default
Administrator
Username of an account with the domain admin role
Format: String
Example: admin
Password
Password for the previous provided user
Format: String
Example: Password
NetBackup for OpenStack requires domain admin role access. To provide a domain admin role to a user, the following command can be used:
openstack role add --domain <domain id> --user <username> admin
The NetBackup for OpenStack configurator verifies after every entry if it is possible to log in to OpenStack using the provided credentials.
This verification fails until all entries are set and correct.
When the verification is successful it is possible to choose the Admin tenant, the Region, and the Trustee role without any error message shown.
Admin Tenant
The tenant to be used together with the provided user.
Format: A pre-populated list
Example: Admin
Region
OpenStack Region the user and tenant are located in.
Format: a pre-populated list
Example: RegionOne
Trustee Role
The OpenStack role is required to be able to use NetBackup for OpenStack functions.
Format: A pre-populated list
Example: _member_
