Downloading the NetBackup Snapshot Manager extension
To download the extension
- Sign in to the NetBackup Web UI.
- On the left, click Workloads > Cloud and then select the Snapshot Managers tab.
All the NetBackup Snapshot Manager servers that are registered with the primary server are displayed in this pane.
- From the desired NetBackup Snapshot Manager row, click the actions icon on the right and then select Add extension.
Note:
For the VM-based extension you do not need to download the extension. Proceed directly to steps 7 and 8 to copy the token.
- If you want to install the extension on a managed Kubernetes cluster, then on the Add extension dialog box, click the download hyperlink.
This action launches a new web browser tab.
Do not close the Add extension dialog box yet. When you configure the extension, you return to this dialog box to generate the validation token.
- Switch to the new browser tab that opened and from the Add extension card, click Download. The extension file
nbu_flexsnap_extension.tarwill be downloaded. - Copy the downloaded file to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager host, and untar it by running the tar -xvf nbu_flexsnap_extension.tar command.
See Installing the extension on Azure (AKS).
- Then to generate the validation token, in the Add extension dialog box, click Create Token.
- Click Copy Token to copy the displayed token. Then provide it on the command prompt while configuring the extension.
Note:
The token is valid for 180 seconds only. If you do not use the token within that time frame, generate a new token.
