haproxy_extra_services:
  - service:
      haproxy_service_name: nbosdm_service
      haproxy_backend_nodes: "{{ groups['nbosdmapi_all'] | default([]) }}"
      haproxy_ssl: "{{ haproxy_ssl }}"
      haproxy_port: 8784
      haproxy_balance_type: http
      haproxy_backend_options:
       - "httpchk GET / HTTP/1.0\\r\\nUser-agent:\\ osa-haproxy-healthcheck"

Create the file /opt/openstack-ansible/inventory/env.d/nbos-nbosdmapi.yml

Add the following information to the file.

cat > /opt/openstack-ansible/inventory/env.d/nbos-nbosdmapi.yml 
component_skel:
  nbosdmapi_api:
    belongs_to:
      - nbosdmapi_all

  nbos-nbosdmapi_containers:
    belongs_to:
      - all_containers
  nbos-nbosdmapi_hosts:
    belongs_to:
      - hosts

Edit the file /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml according to the example below to set host entries for NetBackup for OpenStack components.

#nbosdmapi
nbos-nbosdmapi_hosts:     # Add controller details in this section as 
                          # nbos-dmapi is resides on controller nodes.
  infra1:                 # Controller host name
    ip: <controller_ip>   # IP address of controller
  infra2:                 # For multiple controller nodes add controller node 
                          # details in same manner as shown in infra2
    ip: <controller_ip>
 
#nbos-datamover
nbos_compute_hosts:       # Add compute details in this section as nbosdm 
                          # resides on compute nodes.
  infra-1:                # Compute host name
    ip: <compute_ip>      # IP address of compute
