The extension folder contains the following samples based on which you need to create new YAMLs with the relevant values as per your environment:

kustomization.yaml
cloudpoint_crd.yaml
node_select.yaml
cloudpoint_service.yaml

kustomization.yaml

In the kustomization.yaml, update the parameters in the Image section with relevant values as described in the following table.

Parameter	Description
newName	Specify the NetBackup Snapshot Manager image name, along with the container registry path. Example: <account_id>.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/veritas/flexsnap-deploy
newTag	Specify the tag of the NetBackup Snapshot Manager image to be deployed. Example: `10.2.x.xxxx`
namespace	The namespace that was created earlier in the preparation steps, in which to deploy NetBackup Snapshot Manager.

Parameter

namespace

The namespace that was created earlier in the preparation steps, in which to deploy NetBackup Snapshot Manager.

Example:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- cloudpoint_service.yaml
patchesStrategicMerge:
- node_select.yaml
namespace: demo-cloudpoint-ns
images:
- name: CLOUDPOINT_IMAGE
  newName: <account_id>.dkr.ecr.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/veritas/flexsnap-deploy
  newTag: 10.2.x.xxxx
vars:
- name: ServiceAccount.cloudpoint-acc.metadata.namespace
  objref:
    kind: ServiceAccount
    name: cloudpoint-acc
    apiVersion: v1
  fieldref:
    fieldpath: metadata.namespace
configurations:
- cloudpoint_kustomize.yaml

cloudpoint_service.yaml

If deploying the extension on GCP platform, then in cloudpoint_service.yaml, replace the storageClassName with volumeName.

cloudpoint_crd.yaml

Edit the cloudpoint_crd.yaml manifest file as follows:

For GCP platform: Delete the line with storageClassName word in it.
For Non-GCP platform: Delete the line with volumeName word in it.

Now update the parameters in the Spec section with relevant values as described in the following table.

Parameter	Description
cloudpointHost	Specify the NetBackup Snapshot Manager hostname or IP.
cloudpointExtensionToken	Paste the contents of the NetBackup Snapshot Manager token that was downloaded earlier from NetBackup Web UI - Add extension dialog.
storageClassName	Kubernetes storage class that was created earlier in the preparation steps. Example: `efs-sc-new-root` Note: Not required for GCP platform.
size	Volume size in GB to be provisioned as per your scaling requirements.
namespace	The namespace that was created earlier in the preparation steps, in which to deploy NetBackup Snapshot Manager.
volumeName	The name of the Persistent Volume created earlier in preparation steps. Note: Required for GCP platform.

Example:

apiVersion: veritas.com/v1
kind: CloudpointRule
metadata:
  name: cloudpoint-config-rule
  namespace: demo-cloudpoint-ns
spec:
  CLOUDPOINT_HOST: 3.17.**.*** .
  CLOUDPOINT_EXTENSION_TOKEN: workflow-3s3tlpwpy62dyoingxqmfeojlky7bub9rbzx8srh8kdgmsqo6f-q85lflg8a5i72hqarl7icb9xl0ydzfociziedicxlflesd4z4mljn8tfqs70vvzhzrt7z3gbqyv765s7nuivrzl0d0vg6bstjpge9xbft2ox92kdkmje8ysm3l276eu0fvgolnkeu5fdesfdnl845p9psbpw9nei67c2rn0bc71gf1a7yx5ua74rmc40on0c27h8zt
  RENEW: false
  LOG_STORAGE:
    STORAGE_CLASS_NAME: efs-sc-new-root
    SIZE: 100

Then run the following commands from the folder where the YAML files are located.

To apply the Kustomization YAML: kubectl apply -k <location of the kustomization.yaml file>
To apply the NetBackup Snapshot Manager CR: kubectl apply -f cloudpoint_crd.yaml

node_select.yaml

Navigate to nodeSelector under the Spec section and replace the values of NODE_AFFINITY_KEY and NODE_AFFINITY_VALUE in the node_select.yaml file. User can obtain these details using the following commands:

Use the following command to obtain the name of any node from the dedicated node-pool for our extension:
# kubectl get nodes
Depending on the specific cloud provider, use the following respective commands based on the the tag key=value label:
- For Azure: # kubectl describe node <node_name> | grep -i labels
  Output example: agentpool=cpuserpool
- For AWS: # kubectl describe node <node_name> | grep -i <node_group_name>
  Output example: eks.amazonaws.com/nodegroup=Demo-NG
- For GCP: # kubectl describe node <node_name> | grep -i <node_pool_name>
  Output example: cloud.google.com/gke-nodepool=manik-node-pool

Parameter	Description
NODE_AFFINITY_KEY	For AWS: eks.amazonaws.com/nodegroup For Azure: agentpool For GCP: cloud.google.com/gke-nodepool
NODE_AFFINITY_VALUE	Name of the node pool. For AWS: Demo-NG For Azure: cpuserpool For GCP: manik-node-pool
