NBOS Backups and NBOS Backup Admin tabs disappear from Horizon UI after stack is updated

After you update the OpenStack stack, the NBOS Backups and NBOS Backup Admin tabs disappear from the NetBackup for OpenStack Horizon UI. The stack update incorrectly removes the endpoints from OpenStack. To resolve this issue, run the script register_nbopenstack_service.sh, which is provided with the installation package. This script registers the NetBackup for OpenStack service so that the NBOS Backups and NBOS Backup Admin tabs appear on the Horizon UI.

For more information, see the NetBackup for OpenStack Administrator's Guide.
