NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager Install and Upgrade Guide

Removing NetBackup Snapshot Manager extensions - VM-based or managed Kubernetes cluster-based

During uninstallation, the installer performs the following tasks on the NetBackup Snapshot Manager extension host:

  • Stops all the NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers that are running

  • Removes the NetBackup Snapshot Manager containers

To uninstall a VM-based extension

  1. For Docker environment:

    Run the following command:

    # sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0
    -v /<full_path_to_volume_name>:/<full_path_to_volume_name> 
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock 
    veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<version> uninstall

    Example:

    # sudo docker run -it --rm -u 0
    -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint
    -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
    veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<10.1.x.x.xxx> uninstall

    Note:

    This is a single command without any line breaks.

    For Podman environment:

    Run the following command:

    # podman run -it --rm -u 0
    -v /<full_path_to_volume_name>:/<full_path_to_volume_name> 
    -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock 
    veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<version> uninstall

    Example:

    # podman run -it --rm -u 0
    -v /cloudpoint:/cloudpoint
    -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock
    veritas/flexsnap-deploy:<10.1.x.x.xxx> uninstall

    Note:

    This is a single command without any line breaks.

    Replace the following parameters as per your environment:

    Parameter

    Description

    <version>

    Represents the NetBackup Snapshot Manager product version that is installed on the host.

    <full_path_to_volume>

    Represents the path to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager data volume, which typically is /cloudpoint.

  2. If desired, remove the NetBackup Snapshot Manager container images from the extension host.

    Use the following docker command to view the docker images that are loaded on the host and remove the NetBackup Snapshot Manager images based on their IDs.

    # sudo docker images -a

    # sudo docker rmi <image ID>

This completes the NetBackup Snapshot Manager extension uninstallation on a VM host.

To uninstall a managed Kubernetes cluster-based extension

  • Execute the extension script cp_extension.sh that was downloaded at the time of extension installation, from the host where kubectl is installed.

    Run the following command:

    bash cp_extension.sh uninstall

    Once the uninstallation is triggered, provide the namespace as an input, from which the extension services need to be uninstalled.

After the uninstallation, the provisioned cloud resources associated with the uninstalled extension can be terminated or removed.
