Description

Step 1

To perform the AHV administrator tasks, the Default AHV Administrator role has the minimum required permissions.

See the Default AHV Administrator role in NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide.

Step 2

Configure the following for an AHV cluster:

  • Configure secure communication between the AHV cluster and NetBackup host.

  • (Optional) Configure secure communication between Nutanix Prism Central and NetBackup host

  • Enable iSCSI on the NetBackup host which you want to use as backup or restore host.

  • (Optional) Whitelist the backup host in Nutanix Prism console.

Note:

To use the NFS protocol on the Linux backup or recovery host, NFS allowed listing of the host on the Nutanix AHV Prism Console is required. For details, click here.

See Configure secure communication between the AHV cluster and NetBackup host and Nutanix Prism Central and NetBackup host.

See Install the iSCSI initiator package on Linux backup host.

See Enable the iSCSI initiator service on windows backup host.

Step 3 (Optional)

Configure and Manage Nutanix Prism Central

See Add a new Nutanix Prism Central.

Step 4

Configure and manage AHV cluster.

See Configure Nutanix AHV cluster.

Step 5
