Prerequisites for integrating NetBackup with Resiliency Platform
The NetBackup server administrator must perform some configuration tasks on the NetBackup master server in order to recover assets using Veritas Resiliency Platform. The following tasks must be completed before the Resiliency Platform administrator can activate backup service definitions and apply them to protect assets. Support for IPv6 address is enabled. Resiliency Platform virtual appliance can now be configured using IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The IPv6 network support is provided for NetBackup 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 versions.
The NetBackup administrator must help establish the connection between the NetBackup master server and Resiliency Platform. To establish the connection between Resiliency Platform and the NetBackup server, ensure the following:
NetBackup version 8.1 or later, or NetBackup Appliances 52XX version 3.0 is installed.
Ensure that NetBackup Auto Image Replication is configured. It can be configured in multiple ways but only the Targeted mode is supported in Resiliency Platform. It must be configured between both the master servers across the two data centers.
Targeted Auto Image Replication ensures that the backup image is available on NetBackup master server in the recovery data center.
The correlation of NetBackup master servers at source and target data centers is through registered names. Ensure that while configuring Targeted Auto Image Replication the registered name of the NetBackup master server is used. Note that, t registered name is the name that you specify while installing the NetBackup master server.
If you want to recover the backup images on VMware virtual machines within the same data center, then Targeted Auto Image Replication is not required.
The NetBackup master server is online.
Resiliency Platform supports recovery of VMware virtual machines backed up by NetBackup using VMWARE type of policies only.
If you are integrating with NetBackup version 8.1 onwards, then nbwebsvc user and nbwebgrp group must be configured. For more information, refer to
Veritas NetBackup Installation Guide.You need to add the following settings in the DNS server to set up the communication between NetBackup master server and Resiliency Platform components which are configured with IPv6 address or IPv4 and IPv6 address:
When the NetBackup master server which is configured with an IPv4 and IPv6 address, and the Resiliency Manager is configured only using IPv6 address, the DNS server should only have entry of IPv6 hostname of the Resiliency Manager.
When the NetBackup master server is configured with only IPv6 address and the Resiliency Manager and IMS are configured with both IPv4 and IPv6 address, to discover the NetBackup master server into IMS, ensure that DNS server should only have only the entry of the IPv6 hostname configured for the NetBackup master server.
Note the following if you are integrating with NetBackup version 8.1 or above:
Resiliency Platform can manage only those virtual machines that are backed up with No disk(s) excluded type of policy.
See Adding NetBackup master server.
See Adding IMS to NetBackup master server as an additional server.
You can recover VMware virtual machines to AWS cloud using NetBackup images stored in AWS S3 buckets by the on premises NetBackup CloudCatalyst with Automated DR feature. This feature is available only with NetBackup version 8.2 onwards.
The NetBackup server administrator must perform the following configuration tasks on the on-premises NetBackup master server, and on the NetBackup Cloud Recovery Server (CRS) in the cloud to enable the recovery to cloud data center.
For the on-premises NetBackup domain, configure the Cloud Storage server credentials with AWS account credentials. Enable the CloudCatalyst option and configure an S3 bucket where the backup images will be stored.
Configure backup policies to backup and/or deduplicate the backup images to S3 bucket with this configuration.
Resiliency Platform supports recovery of VMware virtual machines backed up by NetBackup using VMware type of policies only.
Resiliency Platform can manage only those virtual machines that are backed up with No disk(s) excluded type of policy.
Ensure that the backup type is full or accelerated incremental.
Deploy the NetBackup CRS in the cloud data center.
Configure the CRS with the same S3 bucket where backups from on-premises data center are getting stored.
Add the CRS in the cloud data center. Do the following:
Navigate to > view, locate the cloud data center, click the environment card to navigate to the tab.
Ensure the following:
The account used for the cloud data center configuration in Resiliency Platform and the account used for the NetBackup Cloud Recovery Server configuration should be the same. This allows Resiliency Platform to access the AMI restored using NetBackup Automated DR APIs when provisioning EC2 instances.
The region for the cloud data center configured in Resiliency Platform must be same as the region of the S3 bucket configured for the NetBackup Cloud Recovery Server. This is because the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) deployed in the cloud data center needs access to the AMIs that are created by the NetBackup Cloud Recovery Server. These AMIs are created in the region of the S3 bucket configured in the NetBackup Cloud Recovery Server.
You must add the following settings in the DNS server to set up the communication between NetBackup master server and Resiliency Platform components which are configured with IPv6 address, or IPv4 and IPv6 address:
When the NetBackup master server which is configured with an IPv4 and IPv6 address, and the Resiliency Platform is configured only using IPv6 address, the DNS server should only have the entry of IPv6 hostname of the Resiliency Platform.
When the NetBackup master server is configured with only IPv6 address and the Resiliency Platform and IMS are configured with both IPv4 and IPv6 address, to discover the NetBackup master server into IMS, ensure that DNS server should only have the entry of the IPv6 hostname configured for the NetBackup master server.
