Installing the CloudPoint extension on a VM
Before you install the CloudPoint extension:
See Preparing to install the extension on a VM.
To install the extension
- For Docker environment:
Run the following command:
# sudo docker run -it --rm -v /<full_path_to_volume_name>:/<full_path_to_volume_name> -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<version> install_extension
Note:
This is a single command without any line breaks.
For Podman environment:
Run the following command:
# podman run -it --rm --privileged -v /<full_path_to_volume_name>:/<full_path_to_volume_name> -v /run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock veritas/flexsnap-cloudpoint:<version> install_extension
Note:
This is a single command without any line breaks.
In this step, CloudPoint does the following:
Creates and runs the containers for each of the CloudPoint services.
Creates self-signed keys and certificates for nginx.
- Then go to the NetBackup Web UI and follow the steps 7 and 8 described in the section Downloading CloudPoint extension to generate and copy the validation token.
See Downloading the CloudPoint 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.
- Provide the following configuration parameters when prompted:
Parameter
Description
Cloudpoint IP address / FQDN
Provide IP address or FQDN of the main CloudPoint host.
Cloudpoint Token
Paste the token that was copied in the step 8 of
Extension Name Identifier
Name of the extension identifier to be visible on the NetBackup UI
The installer then displays messages similar to the following:
Starting docker container: flexsnap-fluentd ...done Starting docker container: flexsnap-ipv6config ...done Starting docker container: flexsnap-listener ...done
This concludes the CloudPoint extension installation on a VM.
To verify that the extension is installed successfully:
Verify that the success message is displayed at the command prompt.
Verify that the extension is listed on the NetBackup Web UI.
Go to Cloud > CloudPoint Servers tab > click Advanced settings > go to CloudPoint extensions tab and verify.
Run the following command and verify that the CloudPoint containers are running and the status is displayed as UP:
# sudo docker ps -a
The command output resembles the following:
