Configuring NetBackup for OpenStack

NetBackup for OpenStack configuration process uses Ansible scripts. Ansible, in the last few years, has grown in popularity as a preferred configuration management tool and NetBackup for OpenStack uses ansible playbooks extensively to configure the NetBackup for OpenStack cluster. To troubleshoot NetBackup for OpenStack configuration issues, the user should have a basic understanding of Ansible playbook output.

Ansible modules are inherently idempotent and hence NetBackup for OpenStack configuration can run any number of times to change or reconfigure NetBackup for OpenStack cluster.

Once the VM is started, point your browser (Chrome or Firefox) to NetBackup for OpenStack node IP address.

This brings you to the NetBackup for OpenStack dashboard, which contains the NetBackup for OpenStack configurator.

The user is: admin The default password is: password

After the very first login, you are requested to change the admin password.

NetBackup for OpenStack requires you to configure the cluster once and the NetBackup for OpenStack dashboard provides cluster-wide management capability.
