OpenShift Virtualization support
NetBackup provides backup and restore support for namespaces with one or more virtual machines running on Kubernetes clusters.
In OpenShift clusters, virtualization is supported with the help of openshift-cnv operator (which is a RedHat version of KubeVirt).
With Virtualization support in Kubernetes, you can deploy virtual machines in Kubernetes environments using KubeVirt. KubeVirt is an extension for Kubernetes that allows you to manage virtual machines alongside containers. KubeVirt enables you to run virtual machines as Kubernetes pods, which provides a consistent management interface for containers and virtual machines.
You can create Kubernetes protection plan to protect namespace which have virtual machines and its related resources.
In an OpenShift environment, it is essential to have all required components installed and configured correctly in order to ensure a successful backup and restore of namespaces including virtual machines.
Install OpenShift Virtualization Operator (openshift-cnv).
(Optional) Install Container Data Importer (CDI), If you want to create a virtual machine using disk image from network source.
With Virtualization support in Kubernetes, you can create intelligent groups with filtering the namespaces based on specific resource kinds. Following are resource kinds available to filter:
