NetBackup™ Deployment Guide for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) Cluster

Adding MSDP engines

You can add new MSDP engines by updating the CR. You can add maximum 16 MSDP engines.

Prerequisites:

  • Allocate new static IP/FQDN pairs in the same node resource group.

  • The node number must not be less than the MSDP Scaleout size that you plan to change.

  • CR YAML file of MSDP Scaleout

To add the MSDP engines by updating the CR YAML file

  1. Open the CR YAML file to edit.
  2. Append the new IP/FQDN pairs in the spec.serviceIPFQDNs field.
  3. Update the spec.size field to increase the cluster size accordingly.
  4. Apply new CR YAML to update the CR in the Kubernetes environment.

    kubectl apply -f <your-cr-yaml>

To add the MSDP engines using the kubectl command directly

  • Run the following command to append the IP/FQDN pairs in the spec.serviceIPFQDNs field and increase the cluster size in spec.size field.

    kubectl -n <sample-namespace> edit msdpscaleout <your-cr-name> [-o json | yaml]

The MSDP Scaleout services are not interrupted when MSDP engines are added.
