Parameter

Description

Primary server configuration details

Hostname

Provide the hostname for the primary server.

Server size

Select size to be allocated for the primary server. The default size is 1x Standard DS4 v2, which you can change if required.

Service username

Provide a non-root Service Username. It is used to run NetBackup services and is set as database user as well. It will not be accessible via SSH. Most services on the server run as this user. User gets created and is associated with the 'nbwebgrp' user group as the secondary group.

Refer to the Running NetBackup services with non-privileged user (service user) account chapter in the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.

Configure virtual networks

Virtual network

Select an existing virtual network or create a new one.

Subnet

If the existing virtual network is selected, it is recommended to select an existing subnet only. Create a new subnet if the existing subnet is not available.

Public IP (optional)

Select an existing public IP or create a new one, if you want to access the primary server from outside the private network.
