NetBackup™ Marketplace Deployment on Azure Cloud

Recover the Snapshot Manager manually

1. Using your Azure portal, create a disk from the snapshot identified earlier, in the region where you want to create the Snapshot Manager instance.
2. Create a new virtual machine with specifications equal to or higher than your previous Snapshot Manager server.
3. Install docker on the new server. Docker and other system related requirements can be found in the NetBackup Snapshot Manager Install and Upgrade Guide.
4. Attach the newly created volume to this Snapshot Manager server instance.
5. Create the /cloudpoint mount directory on this server using the command:# mkdir /cloudpoint
6. Login to the newly created Snapshot Manager instance. After identifying the device path of the newly attached volume in Step 1, mount the same to the /cloudpoint directory you just created by using the command: # mount <device-path> /cloudpoint
7. Verify that all Snapshot Manager related configuration data are in the directory by using the command:# ls -l /cloudpoint
8. Download or copy the Snapshot Manager installer binary to the newly created Snapshot Manager server instance.
9. Install the Snapshot Manager using the following command:

   flexsnap_configure install --primary <primary_hostname> --token <security_token> --hostnames <hostnames>

10. In the case where a static external IP address is not assigned to the newly created instance, the IP address changes after creating a new machine. You need to regenerate the certificates.

    To regenerate the Snapshot Manager certificates with the new IP address / hostname, perform the following steps.

    • Run the certificate regeneration script:

      flexsnap_configure renew --hostnames <new-hostname> --token <auth-token>

    • Restart Snapshot Manager services:

      use flexsnap_configure restart
