NetBackup™ for Nutanix AHV Administrator's Guide

Migrate Java GUI/CLI added clusters into the web UI

Credential management for Java GUI/CLI and web UI are separate.

  • Clusters that are added with the Administration Console or CLIs are not reflected in web UI and vice versa.

  • If there are any existing clusters in Java GUI/ CLI, user must manually add these cluster/clusters and its credentials in web UI.

    Note:

    Once a cluster is added in web UI and then if it is deleted from Java GUI/CLI, the cluster would still exist in web UI and vice versa.

  • Once the cluster is added in web UI and if the cluster credential needs to be updated, it must be updated from web UI only.

    Consider the following scenario:

    • A cluster exists in both the web UI and the Administration Console.

    • Cluster credential is updated in web UI only.

    • The cluster is deleted from web UI.

    Impact: Backups and restores may fail on Java GUI as the credential of cluster added in Java GUI was not updated.

    Recommendation:Update the credential from Java GUI.

  • After the cluster is added in the web UI, the backups with existing policies would still be successful, even if the cluster is deleted from Java GUI. However, restore jobs can not be triggered from Java GUI in this scenario; as it requires cluster to be present on Java GUI.

  • If a cluster is added from Java GUI and web UI and then it is deleted from the Java GUI, the cluster can still be seen in the web UI and vice versa.

  • If a cluster was in the web UI and the Java GUI and its credential was updated in the web UI and then the cluster is deleted from the web UI, backup and restores may fail as the cluster added in Java UI was not updated. You may have to update the credential from Java UI to get things working.
