Example of a typical NetBackup for OpenStack network integration

Many OpenStack customers follow the OpenStack standards and best practices to have the public, internal, and admin endpoints on separate networks. They also typically don't have any network yet, which can access the desired backup target.

The starting network configuration typically looks as follows:

Following the OpenStack standards and Veritas' recommendation the NetBackup for OpenStack Appliance is placed on all those three networks. Further is the access to the backup target that is required by NetBackup for OpenStack Appliance and Compute nodes. Here done by adding a 4th network.

The resulting network configuration looks as follows:

You can combine networks as necessary. As long as the required network access is available NetBackup for OpenStack works.
