NetBackup™ Web UI Kubernetes Administrator's Guide

Define a storage class pointing to the CSI plugin.

Define a VolumeSnapshotClass class consisting of CSI driver details.

Label the volume snapshot class for NetBackup usage. Add the following label netbackup.veritas.com/default-csi-volume-snapshot-class=true.

Sizing for metadata persistent volume is required. The default persistent volume size for Kubernetes operator is 10Gi. The persistent volume size is configurable.

You can change the value for storage from 10Gi to a higher value before deploying the plugin. This leads to the nbukops pod have the size of the PVC mounted in the pod.

Persistent Volume Claim looks like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  labels:
    component: netbackup
  name: {{ .Release.Namespace }}-netbackupkops
  namespace: {{ .Release.Namespace }}
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi

Label a valid storage class for NetBackup usage, add the following label: netbackup.veritas.com/default-csi-storage-class=true. If NetBackup labeled storage class is not found, then backup from snapshot job for metadata image and restore jobs fail with the error message No eligible storage classes found.

To label the storage classes, run the following commands given in the examples:

Example 1. Run the command:# oc get sc

Example 2. Run the command:# oc get sc ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd --show-labels

Example 3. Run the command:# oc label sc ocs-storagecluster-cephfs netbackup.veritas.com/default-csi-storage-class=true

storageclass.storage.k8s.io/ocs-storagecluster-cephfs labeled

Example 4. Run the command:oc get sc ocs-storagecluster-cephfs --show-labels

Label a valid volume snapshot class for NetBackup usage, add the following label: netbackup.veritas.com/default-csi-volume-snapshot-class=true. If the NetBackup labeled VolumeSnapshotClass class is not found, then backup from snapshot job for metadata image and restore jobs fails with an error message: Failed to create snapshot of the Kubernetes namespace.

To label the volume snapshot classes, run the following commands given the examples:

Example 1. Run the command:# oc get volumesnapshotclass

Example 2. Run the command:# oc get volumesnapshotclass ocs-storagecluster-cephfsplugin-snapclass --show-labels

Example 3. Run the command:# oc label volumesnapshotclass ocs-storagecluster-cephfsplugin-snapclass netbackup.veritas.com/default-csi-volume-snapshot-class=true

volumesnapshotclass.snapshot.storage.k8s.io/ocs-storagecluster-cephfsplugin-snapclass labeled

Example 4. Run the command:# oc get volumesnapshotclass ocs-storagecluster-cephfsplugin-snapclass --show-labels

Each primary server which runs the backup from snapshot and restore from backup copy operations, needs to create a separate ConfigMap with the primary server's name.

In the following configmap.yaml example,

apiVersion: v1
data:
  datamover.hostaliases: |
        10.20.12.13=backupserver.sample.domain.com
        10.21.12.13=mediaserver.sample.domain.com
  datamover.properties: |
        image=reg.domain.com/datamover/image:latest
  version: "1"
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: backupserver.sample.domain.com
  namespace: kops-ns

Specify datamover.properties: image=reg.domain.com/datamover/image:latest with correct datamover image.

Specify datamover.hostaliases, if the primary server and the media servers connected to the primary server have short names and host resolution failing from datamover. Provide a mapping of all hostnames to IPs for primary and media servers.

Create a secret as described in detail in the Point 6 in the Deploy service package on NetBackup Kubernetes operator section to use a private docker registry.

Once the secret is created, add the following attributes while creating a configmap.yaml file.

Create the configmap.yaml file, run the command: kubectl create -f configmap.yaml.

If Kubernetes operator is not able to resolve the primary server based on short names

Create a secret with fingerprint and authorization token.

Create a backupservercert request to fetch certificates.
