Prerequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met before proceeding with the deployment.
A Kubernetes cluster in Azure with multiple nodes. Using separate node pools is recommended for the NetBackup and MSDP Scaleout deployments.
Define one or more storage classes in the Kubernetes cluster.
Access to a container registry that the Kubernetes cluster can access, like an Azure Container Registry.
Enable AKS Uptime SLA. AKS Uptime SLA is recommended for a better resiliency. For information about AKS Uptime SLA and to enable it, see Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Uptime SLA.
Install Cert-Manager. You can use the following command to install the Cert-Manager:
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.6.0/cert-manager.yaml
For details, see https://cert-manager.io/docs/installation/
A workstation or VM running Linux with the following:
Configure kubectl to access the cluster.
Install Azure CLI to access Azure resources.
Configure docker to be able to push images to the container registry.
Free space of approximately 8.5GB on the location where you copy and extract the product installation TAR package file. If using docker locally, there should be approximately 8GB available on the
/var/lib/dockerlocation so that the images can be loaded to the docker cache, before being pushed to the container registry.
