Discover assets on Snapshot Manager
After you configure your cloud providers with a Snapshot Manager, automatic discovery is triggered to discover assets from the cloud. During periodic discovery, NetBackup pulls the asset data from Snapshot Manager every two hours whereas Snapshot Manager pulls the asset data from cloud provider configurations every one hour. If you disable a Snapshot Manager, all the assets associated with that server are no longer protected or synced with NetBackup.
You can also manually trigger the cloud asset discovery if required, using the Discover option for individual cloud provider configurations, or you can trigger a discovery on a Snapshot Manager to fetch the assets data available on the Snapshot Manager.
After the first full discovery, NetBackup subsequently performs periodic incremental discovery of assets for the configured Snapshot Manager. It only detects the changes, such as the addition, removal, or modification of assets, that occurred between the last and current discovery.
Note:
For the accurate incremental discovery, ensure that the time is set correctly on the NetBackup primary server and the Snapshot Manager, according to the time zones they are located in, to avoid any issues with the discovery.
The following procedure describes how to perform discovery at the Snapshot Manager level, which does not discover the assets from the Cloud, but only fetches the point-in-time data from Snapshot Manager.
To discover assets on Snapshot Manager
- On the left, click Workloads > Cloud.
- Click on the Snapshot Managers tab.
- From the menu next to the Snapshot Manager, click Discover.
The following procedure describes how to perform discovery at the configuration level, which triggers a deep discovery of assets and fetches the point-in-time state of the assets detecting any additions, modifications, or deletion of assets in the Cloud.
To discover assets for a cloud provider configuration
- On the left, click Workloads > Cloud.
- Click on the Snapshot Managers tab.
- Click the Snapshot Manager IP or hostname for which to view the cloud providers.
- Click on the provider tab for which to view the configurations.
- From the menu next to the configuration name, click Discover.
Note:
If the discovery on cloud provider configurations takes more than 30 minutes, the discovery operation times out. But the subsequent operation continues which syncs the NetBackup assets with the Snapshot Manager assets.
Use nbgetconfig and the nbsetconfig commands to view, add, or change the autodiscovery option. For example:
CLOUD_AUTODISCOVERY_INTERVAL = number of seconds
