In NetBackup deployed in AKS and EKS environments, perform the following steps for MySQL database backup and restore to work:

Create folder structure as shown. Keep all folder names in lowercase.

nbshared
└── mysql

Dump the mysql 4 rpm into the mysql folder:

nbshared
└── mysql
    ├── mysql-community-client-8.0.25-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
    ├── mysql-community-client-plugins-8.0.25-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
    ├── mysql-community-common-8.0.25-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
    └── mysql-community-libs-8.0.25-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

Copy the nbshared folder to: primary pod >kubectl cp <path>/nbshared <netbackup namespace>/<primary pod name>:/mnt/nbdata/nbshared
For example: kubectl cp nbshared nb-namespace/nbu-primary-0:/mnt/nbdata/nbshared
Verify if the nbshared content is copied correctly on the primary pod, run:
kubectl exec -it pod/nbu-primary-0 -c nbu-primary -n nb-namespace -- ls -ltr /mnt/nbdata/nbshared drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 228 Sep 13 01:42 mysql
Using the same command verify if the mysql folder contains the required RPMs.
