Configuring NetBackup IT Analytics for NetBackup deployment
NetBackup IT Analytics can be configured to use with NetBackup primary server in this Kubernetes environment. NetBackup IT Analytics can be configured at the time of primary server deployment or user can update the primary server CR to configure NetBackup IT Analytics.
To configure NetBackup IT Analytics for NetBackup deployment
- Using the ssh-keygen command, generates public key and private key on NetBackup IT Analytics data collector.
NetBackup IT Analytics data collector uses passwordless ssh login.
- Update the primary server CR, copy public key generated in previous steps to "itAnalyticsPublicKey" section in spec.
Apply the primary server CR changes using kubectl apply -f environment.yaml -n <namespace>.
On successfully deployment of primary server CR, describe the primary server CR using kubectl describe PrimaryServer <primary-server-name> -n <namespace>
In status section, verify It Analytics Configured is set to true.
For more information, refer to the NetBackup™ Web UI Administrator's Guide.
- Create and copy NetBackup API key from NetBackup web UI.
- On NetBackup IT Analytics portal:
Navigate to Admin > Collector Administration > Select respective data collector > Add policy > Veritas NetBackup > Add.
Add required options, specify the NetBackup API in the API Key field, and then click OK.
Select newly added primary server from NetBackup Master Servers and provide nbitanalyticsadmin as Master Server User ID.
Provide privateKey=<path-of-private-key>|password=<passphrase> as Master Server Password and Repeat Password whereas <path-of-private-key> is the private key created using ssh-keygen in earlier steps and <passphrase> is the passphrase used while creating private key via ssh-keygen.
Provide appropriate data to data collector policy fields and select collection method as SSH or WMI protocol to NetBackup Master Server.
Configuring the primary server with NetBackup IT Analytics tools is supported only once from primary server CR.
For more information about IT Analytics data collector policy, see Add a Veritas NetBackup Data Collector policy and for more information about adding NetBackup Primary Servers within the Data Collector policy, see Add/Edit NetBackup Master Servers within the Data Collector policy.
To change the already configured public key
- Execute the following command in the primary server pod:
kubectl exec -it -n <namespace> <primaryServer-pod-name> -- /bin/bash
- Copy the new public keys in the
/home/nbitanalyticsadmin/.ssh/authorized_keysand/mnt/nbdata/.ssh/nbitanalyticsadmin_keysfiles. - Restart the sshd service using the systemctl restart sshd command.
