Preparing NetBackup Snapshot Manager for backup from snapshot jobs
For backup from snapshot jobs, you must have media server 9.1 or later.
Note:
Veritas recommends having swap space enabled on NetBackup Snapshot Manager's and extensions that would be used to run backup from snapshot jobs for cloud assets. The recommended size for swap space must be greater than or equal to 1.5 times of the system memory. In scenarios where swap space enablement is not available, it is recommend to have systems with higher memory configuration.
Note:
(For AKS only) To enable swap space on Azure Kubernetes cluster for NetBackup installation and NetBackup Snapshot Manager deployment on kubernetes based extensions, follow the steps mentioned in Customize node configuration for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) node pools.
Required ports:
Port required on NetBackup primary server: 1556 and 443
Ports required on NetBackup media server for client side deduplication: 10082 and 10102
If you use private names for installing certificates and communicating with NetBackup, which have to be resolved using /etc/hosts follow these steps:
Add entries similar to
/etc/hostsfile in the /cloudpoint/openv/etc/hosts file.Ensure that you use the private name during NetBackup Snapshot Manager installation, as well as NetBackup Snapshot Manager registration.
