NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Cloud Install and Upgrade Guide

Post-migration tasks

After migration, if the name is changed to NetBackup Snapshot Manager, then perform the following steps for Linux and Windows on-host agent renews and then perform the plugin level discovery:

For Linux:

  • Edit the /etc/flexsnap.conf file and update the targeted field with new IP/host of NetBackup Snapshot Manager.

    For example,

    [root@testVM]# cat /etc/flexsnap.conf
    [global]
    target = nbuxqa-alphaqa-10-250-172-172.vxindia.veritas.com
    hostid = azure-vm-b5c2b769-256a-4488-a71d-f809ce0fec5d
    
    [agent]
    id = agent.c2ec74c967e043aaae5818e50a939556
  • Perform the Linux on-host agent renew using the following command:

    /opt/VRTScloudpoint/bin/flexsnap-agent --renew --token <auth_token>

  • Restart Linux on-host agent using the following command:

    sudo systemctl restart flexsnap-agent.service

For Windows:

  • Edit the \etc\flexsnap.conf and update the targeted field with new IP/host of NetBackup Snapshot Manager.

    For example,

    [global]
    target = nbuxqa-alphaqa-10-250-172-172.vxindia.veritas.com
    hostid = azure-vm-427a67a0-6f91-4a35-abb0-635e099fe9ad
    
    [agent]
    id = agent.3e2de0bf17d54ed0b54d4b33530594d8
  • Perform the Windows on-host agent renew using the following command:

    "c:\ProgramFiles\Veritas\CloudPoint\flexsnap-agent.exe" --renew --token <auth_token>
