Limitations and considerations
Consider the following when protecting cloud workloads
Deletion of CloudPoint host entry and its associated plug-ins is not supported in NetBackup.
If you delete plug-ins that are configured in NetBackup, you cannot recover any CloudPoint images that are associated with that plug-in.
Review the Veritas CloudPoint Install and Upgrade Guide for information on the capabilities of CloudPoint.
NetBackup integration is not supported with the CloudPoint freemium version.
If you have a previous installation of CloudPoint, Veritas recommends that you upgrade the CloudPoint server and not reinstall it.
If you do reinstall the CloudPoint server, you need to reconfigure the CloudPoint server and perform all the protection-related steps.
When you configure a CloudPoint server using port 0, the default value is used.
After CloudPoint server is added, the host machine tries to use the IPv6 address to discover assets on cloud. If the IPV6 address is found on the host, the application is configured to use it. If an IPv6 address is not found, the IPv4 address is used.
Cloudpoint 8.3 only supports IPv6 when it is installed on Ubuntu 18.04 or later and RHEL Operating Systems. If you are using Ubuntu 16.04, you must first upgrade the OS to Ubuntu 18.04 to use IPv6.
For CloudPoint server, enhanced auditing is not supported. Thus, when you add or update a CloudPoint server, with non-root but NetBackupAdmin rights, during auditing the user is shown as root.
If you deploy CloudPoint using the CloudFormation template, when you register the on-host with the CloudPoint node using the command, the IP address used must be private IP and not public IP.
