Deploying using the deploy.sh file
You can use the deploy.sh script to deploy the complete NetBackup environment, along with configurations and MSDP Scaleout storage. You can perform the deployment from a Linux workstation or VM where you have downloaded the TAR file.
During the deployment process, the deploy.sh script prompts you for several required inputs. It is recommended that you gather the following information before you start with the deployment.
Table: Parameters required during deployment
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Container registry name | The cluster must have access to this registry and the docker must be configured and authorized on the VM to push the images to the registry. For example , if FQDN of Azure Container Registry is |
Namespaces | Namespaces where the operators and the applications are deployed. The Primary, Media, and MSDP Scaleout application namespace must be different from the one used by the operators. |
kubectl-msdp plug-in location | The plug-in's directory must be set in the path environment variable of the shell. |
License keys | NetBackup license keys. |
Storage classes | Storage classes for data, catalog, and the log volumes. |
Host names and IP addresses | A FQDN/IP pair for each of the following: - 1 Primary - 1 or more media server replicas - 4-16 MSDP Scaleout server replicas Note: You must use separate host names and IP addresses for the Primary, Media, and MSDP Scaleout servers, respectively. |
Node selector key/values | This defines the node pools to be used for the deployment of primary, media, and MSDP Scaleout components. Recommendation is to use separate node pools for them (with appropriate node selectors) and to use appropriate node sizes for them according to your requirements. |
Details of the secrets for MSDP Scaleout storage, Primary server, and KMS DB | The deployment script creates the secrets, taking inputs from you. |
KMS key group name | Key secret. |
To deploy using the deploy.sh script.
- Execute the following commands, one by one:
$ REVISION=<Build version number>
$ tar -xvf VRTSk8s-netbackup-10.0-${REVISION}.tar
$ cd VRTSk8s-netbackup-10.0-${REVISION}
$ ./deploy.sh
- When prompted, specify the following:
Option 1: To install the NetBackup and MSDP Scaleout operators. The script validates the prerequisites and performs the installation of the operators.
Option 2: To install NetBackup primary, media and MSDP Scaleout applications (collectively called as the NetBackup Environment). To perform this step, you must have already installed the operators.
Option 3: To quit and close the prompt.
