Upgrading to NetBackup 10.3

If you plan to upgrade your existing NetBackup primary server to NetBackup version 10.3 and you have configured Red Hat Virtualization VM protection, note the following:

  • The configured roles and permissions are not available after the upgrade. As a NetBackup Administrator, you must configure new roles and permissions. Refer to the Managing role-based access control chapter for more information.

  • If you have integrated with NetBackup API for Red Hat Virtualization protection, some of the APIs are not available and are not served by NetBackup 10.3 primary server. For details, refer to NetBackup Asset Service Getting Started Guide.

  • During the upgrade, NetBackup primary server migrates the Red Hat Virtualization assets and intelligent groups to the new tables. Depending on the number of VMs that were discovered earlier, the migration of this information can take some time.

    During this migration, you might not see all the VMs in the NetBackup Web UI. The Web UI displays the following message:

    The migration process is in progress. The provided data might be inconsistent and incomplete.

    This message disappears once the migration is done.

    During the migration, protection of intelligent groups might not work for a short while, but the protection of the individual VMs that are subscribed works.

  • During the migration, if you do not see the VMs in the Web UI, you cannot start a VM restore from the backup images, but you can use the bpsrestore command or the restore API.
