API

Important variables and options

POST
/netbackup/admin/discovery
/workloads/mysql/start

POST 
/netbackup/admin/discovery/workloads
/mysql/stop

GET
/netbackup/admin/discovery/workloads
/mysql/status

POST 
/netbackup/admin/discovery/workloads
/mysql/allclientsdiscovery

serverName is used to identify instance or database
discoveryHost is hostname where discovery needs to be triggered
allclientsdiscovery triggers discovery for all the clients host associated with the master.

Create a MySQL Protection Plan

Table: Create a MySQL Protection Plan

API	Important variables and options
POST /netbackup/servicecatalog/slos POST /netbackup/servicecatalog/slos/{sloId} /subscriptions POST /netbackup/servicecatalog/slos/{sloId} /backup-now	policyType is DataStore. Add scheduleName can have values like FULL_AUTO or INCR_AUTO for adding MySQL instance. keyword can have the following values to back up an instance or database using different backup options: • mysqldump • Snapshot sloId is the identifier to protection plan selectionId is the AssetId which needs to be subscribed with given sloId

API

Important variables and options

POST 
/netbackup/servicecatalog/slos

POST
/netbackup/servicecatalog/slos/{sloId}
/subscriptions

POST
/netbackup/servicecatalog/slos/{sloId}
/backup-now

policyType is DataStore.
Add scheduleName can have values like FULL_AUTO or INCR_AUTO for adding MySQL instance.
keyword can have the following values to back up an instance or database using different backup options:
