2. Click Add to add an AHV cluster and enter the following:

   See Error during AHV credential addition.

   • Cluster name

     Note:

     NetBackup recommends that you use the FQDN to add the AHV cluster. The cluster name must follow the limit of 218 characters.

   • REST API port (default: 9440)

     This port must remain open between backup host and AHV cluster.

     See About the ports that NetBackup uses to communicate with AHV.

   • Select the Use Prism Central for this cluster checkbox to protect Prism Central server related attributes of virtual machines. For example to capture virtual private cloud networking related attributes, project, category and owner related attributes of VM.

     See When to use Prism Central server.

     See Add a new Nutanix Prism Central.

     Note:

     Prism Central server must be added in the NetBackup environment, before you select this checkbox.

   • Select a backup host

     This backup host is used for validation and discovery.

     Note:

     Credential validation and discovery of virtual machines is only supported by NetBackup 9.1 or later.

   • Associate credential

     Do one of the following:

     • Select an existing credential see Managing Credentials in the NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide.

     • See Add new cluster credentials.

3. Click Add and Manage permissions.

   Validations for all the inputs are performed.

   Select the roles you want to have access to this cluster. See Managing role-based access control in the NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide.

4. To add another AHV cluster credentials, click Add.

To browse AHV cluster

1. On the left, click Nutanix AHV.
2. Click the AHV cluster tab, and begin searching.

   The list includes the AHV clusters that you have access to.

   The tab shows the AHV clusters that you can access in the following hierarchy:

   All
   AHV_clusters
   	cluster1
   		VirtualMachine
   		StorageContainer
   	cluster2
   		VirtualMachine
     StorageContainer
   		

   To locate a cluster, you can enter a string in the search field.

3. Click on an AHV cluster to view details.
4. Click on a virtual machine to view its protection status, recovery points, and restore activity.
5. Click Add protection to subscribe the selected VM to a protection plan. You can also select Backup now, Recover, and Manage Permission options.

   Note:

   Ensure that the protection plan for AHV exists to add protection to an asset.

6. Click on a storage container to view free space, and last discovered time.

   Note:

   Once the data exceeds the advertising capacity, the additional data is shown as negative and for such value. NetBackup WebUI displays an empty filed and corresponding API shows -ve value for the free space field for particular storage container.

7. For storage container, you can Manage Permission.

   Note:

   Manage Permission is enabled only when you select the storage container.
