CA configuration for Azure Stack

You can sign the Azure Stack workloads with a different ECA than NetBackup. You can also configure in NBCA mode. You can have the following configurations:

  1. NetBackup configured with NBCA, NetBackup Snapshot Manager configured with FlexsnapCA and Azure Stack configured with ECA:

    • You need to configure  the ECA_TRUST_STORE_PATH parameter in the /cloudpoint/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.

    • The trust store file is available in /cloudpoint/eca/trusted/cacerts.pem.The trust store file is in PEM format.

    • Only the Azure stack appliance public root certificates must be present in the /cloudpoint/eca/trusted/cacerts.pem file. Manually append the Azure Stack appliance root public certificates in this file.

  2. NetBackup, NetBackup Snapshot Manager configured with ECA-1 and Azure Stack is also configured with ECA-1:

    • No manual step required since NetBackup Snapshot Manager registration with NetBackup will take care of adding ECA_TRUST_STORE_PATH in /cloudpoint/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.

    • Required CA certificates are already present in /cloudpoint/eca/trusted/cacerts.pem file.

  3. NetBackup, NetBackup Snapshot Manager configured with ECA-1 and Azure Stack is configured with ECA-2:

    • Required NetBackup CA certificates are already present in /cloudpoint/eca/trusted/cacerts.pem file.

    • Manually append the Azure Stack appliance root public certificates in the same file.

    • The file must now contain NetBackup and Azure Stack appliance public root certificates.

  4. Azure Stack is configured with well known public CA:

    No manual steps are required at NetBackup Snapshot Manager end.
