NetBackup™ Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide

Installing the native client utilities

If you use a build-your-own (BYO) setup, you must install the native client utilities in your NetBackup environment for your PaaS workload to work. If the BYO setup is configured to use an unauthorized user (or service user) account, ensure that the NetBackup service user has the required execute permissions on the native client utilities.

For NetBackup deployments in Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) or Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS), the native client utilities are packaged as part of the NetBackup media server, primary server, and data mover container image. Manual installation is not required for them.

Ensure that the network settings like firewall, security group, and DNS configuration are configured appropriately to access databases within the cloud provider.

Starting with NetBackup 10.4, the DBPaaS agent and the native client utilities run under the service user, if the service user is configured.

Note:

If any of these packages are already installed in the media server(s), remove the packages to avoid conflict with the newer versions of the packages that you install.
