Installing the CloudPoint extension on a VM
Before you install the CloudPoint extension:
See Preparing to install the extension on a VM.
To install the extension
- For Docker environment:
Run the following command:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -v /<full_path_to_volume_name>:/<full_path_to_volume_name> -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<version> install_extension
Note:
This is a single command without any line breaks.
For Podman environment:
Run the following command:
# podman run -it --rm --privileged -v /<full_path_to_volume_name>:/<full_path_to_volume_name> -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<version> install_extension
Note:
This is a single command without any line breaks.
In this step, CloudPoint does the following:
Creates and runs the containers for each of the CloudPoint services.
Creates self-signed keys and certificates for nginx.
- Then go to the NetBackup Web UI and follow the steps 7 and 8 described in the section Downloading CloudPoint extension to generate and copy the validation token.
See Downloading the CloudPoint extension.
Note:
For the VM-based extension you do not need to download the extension. Proceed directly to steps 7 and 8 to copy the token.
- Provide the following configuration parameters when prompted:
Parameter
Description
Cloudpoint IP address / FQDN
Provide IP address or FQDN of the main CloudPoint host.
Cloudpoint Token
Paste the token obtained in the previous step.
Extension Name Identifier
Name of the extension identifier to be visible on the NetBackup UI
The installer then displays messages similar to the following:
Starting docker container: flexsnap-fluentd ...done Starting docker container: flexsnap-ipv6config ...done Starting docker container: flexsnap-listener ...done
This concludes the CloudPoint extension installation on a VM.
To verify that the extension is installed successfully:
Verify that the success message is displayed at the command prompt.
Verify that the extension is listed on the NetBackup Web UI.
Go to Cloud > CloudPoint Servers tab > click Advanced settings > go to CloudPoint extensions tab and verify.
Run the following command and verify that the CloudPoint containers are running and the status is displayed as UP:
# sudo docker ps -a
The command output resembles the following:
