Customize Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with the NetBackup client installed for the Red Hat Linux and Windows operating systems
Abstract
Description
The script will perform the following tasks:
- Accept base AMI and NetBackup client installer path as input.
- Generate new AMI with NetBackup client installed on it.
- Provide amiid of generated AMI which is further used as input during the 'Restore to cloud' operation.
Preparing Base AMI for Windows platform
Pre-requisites:
- Base AMI OS - Windows Server 2019 and above
The following are steps to make Windows AMI, SSH enabled which is required during instance creation.
- Create instance from Windows BASE AMI.
- Download create_ami_v2.zip from the download centre.
- Extract setAuthKeyPath_v1.ps1 and configssh_v1.cmd.
- Create a folder C:\temp and copy the above extracted scripts in the folder.
- Run configssh_v1.cmd on elevated command prompt.
- Shut down the instance.
- Generate Base AMI manually using AWS UI / CLI.
- The above created AMI will be used as input for create_ami_v2.sh script.
Following are the scenarios where we'll need the AMI ID:
- bmrprep command line:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bmrprep -restore -client <hostname> -config <configname> -keyfilepath <keypath> -keyname <keyname> -amiid <amiid> -cloud -logging
- BMR restore to cloud using WebUI:
- Expand Bare Metal Restore > Hosts > Bare Metal Restore clients.
- Select a client or a client configuration.
- Select Actions > Restore to cloud.
