Veritas NetBackup™ CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide

To migrate CloudPoint

1. On the RHEL 7.x host, verify that there are no protection policy snapshots or other operations in progress and then stop CloudPoint by running the following command:

   # sudo docker run -it --rm 
   -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
   -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock 
   veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<current_version> stop

   Here, current_version represents the currently installed CloudPoint version.

   Example:

   # sudo docker run -it --rm -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
   -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock 
   veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:9.0.0.0.9234 stop

   Note:

   This is a single command. Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.

   The CloudPoint containers are stopped one by one. Messages similar to the following appear on the command line:

   Stopping container: flexsnap-certauth ...done
   Stopping container: flexsnap-rabbitmq ...done
   Stopping container: flexsnap-mongodb ...done
   Stopping container: flexsnap-fluentd ...done

   Wait for all the CloudPoint containers to be stopped and then proceed to the next step.

2. Migrate the CloudPoint configuration data to the RHEL 8.3 host:

   • If you have upgraded from RHEL 7.x to RHEL 8.3, copy the /cloudpoint mountpoint data from RHEL 7.x system and move it to the RHEL8.3 system under /cloudpoint folder.

   • If you have created a new system with RHEL 8.3:

     • Run the following command to unmount /cloudpoint from the current host.

       # umount /cloudpoint

     • Detach the data disk that was mounted on /cloudpoint mountpoint.

       Note:

       For detailed instructions to detach or attach the data disks, follow the documentation provided by your cloud or storage vendor.

     • On the RHEL8.3 host, run the following commands to create and mount the disk:

       # mkdir /cloudpoint

       # mount /dev/<diskname> /cloudpoint

       For vendor-specific details

       See Creating and mounting a volume to store CloudPoint data.

   This concludes the CloudPoint migration process.

3. After migrating CloudPoint to a RHEL 8.3 host, perform the following steps to upgrade CloudPoint to 9.1

   Refer to the detailed procedure "To upgrade CloudPoint server in Podman environment".

   See Upgrading CloudPoint.

Brief steps to upgrade CloudPoint in Podman environment

1. Download the CloudPoint upgrade installer.

   Example: Veritas_CloudPoint_9.1.0.0.9349.img.gz

2. Unzip and un-tar the image file and list the contents:

   # gunzip VRTScloudpoint-podman-9.1.0.0.9349.tar.gz

   # tar -xvf VRTScloudpoint-podman-9.1.0.0.9349.tar

3. Run the following command to prepare the CloudPoint host for installation:

   # ./flexsnap_preinstall.sh

4. Upgrade CloudPoint by running the following command:

   # podman run -it --rm --privileged 
   -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
   -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock 
   veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<new_version> install

   For an unattended installation, use the following command:

   # podman run -it --rm --privileged 
   -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint 
   -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock 
   veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<new_version> install -y

   Here, new_version represents the CloudPoint version you are upgrading to, for example '9.1.0.0.9349'

   The -y option passes an approval for all the subsequent installation prompts and allows the installer to proceed in a non-interactive mode.

   Note:

   Ensure that you enter the command without any line breaks.

   The installer first loads the individual service images and then launches them in their respective containers.

5. (Optional) Run the following command to remove the previous version images.

   # podman rmi -f <imagename>:<oldimage_tagid>

6. To verify that the new CloudPoint version is installed successfully:

   See Verifying that CloudPoint is installed successfully.

7. This concludes the migration and upgrade process for CloudPoint. Verify that your CloudPoint configuration settings and data are preserved as is.
8. If CloudPoint is not registered with the NetBackup primary server, you must register it now.

   Refer to the NetBackup Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide for instructions.
