OpenStack Credentials information

The NetBackup for OpenStack appliance integrates with one RHV environment. This block asks for the information that is required to access and connect with the RHV Cluster.

  • Keystone URL

    • The Keystone endpoint that is used to fetch authentication for configuration

    • Format: URL

    • Example: https://keystone.nbos.io:5000/v3

  • Endpoint Type

    • Defines which endpoint type is used to communicate with the OpenStack endpoints

    • Format: Predefined list of radio buttons

    • Example: Public

When FQDNs are used for the Keystone endpoints it is necessary to configure at least one DNS server before the configuration.

Otherwise, the validation of the OpenStack Credentials fails.

  • Domain ID

    • domain the provided user and tenant are located in

    • Format: ID

    • Example: Default

  • Administrator

    • User name of an account with the domain admin role

    • Format: String

    • Example: Admin

  • Password

    • Password for the previous provided user

    • Format: String

    • Example: Password

NetBackup for OpenStack requires domain admin role access. To provide domain admin role to a user, the following command can be used:

openstack role add --domain <domain id> --user <username> admin

The NetBackup for OpenStack configurator verifies after every entry if it is possible to login to OpenStack using the provided credentials.

This verification fails until all entries are set and correct.

When the verification is successful it is possible to choose the Admin tenant, the Region, and the Trustee role without any error message shown.

  • Admin Tenant

    • The tenant to be used together with the provided user

    • Format: A pre-populated list

    • Example: Admin

  • Region

    • OpenStack Region the user and tenant are located in

    • Format: a pre-populated list

    • Example: RegionOne

  • Trustee Role

    • The OpenStack role is required to be able to use NetBackup for OpenStack functions

    • Format: A pre-populated list
