Managing the extensions

After you have installed the VM-based or the managed Kubernetes cluster-based extensions, you may need to disable or enable them, stop, start, or restart them, or renew their certificates.

Refer to the following table that describes how to use these options to manage the extensions.

Table: Post-installation options for the extensions

Option	Procedure
Disable or enable the extension: VM-based extension Managed Kubernetes cluster-based extension	You can disable or enable the extensions from the NetBackup Web UI Go to Cloud > CloudPoint Servers tab > click Advanced settings > go to CloudPoint extensions tab > then disable or enable the extension as required, and click Save. No jobs will be scheduled on the extension that is disabled. Note: When CloudPoint is upgraded, all the extensions are automatically disabled. Then you need to upgrade the extensions with the same CloudPoint version and enable them manually from the NetBackup Web UI.
Stop, start, or restart the VM-based extension To stop the extension:	Execute the following commands on the extension host VM to stop/start/restart the extension: For Docker: # 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>` stop For Podman # 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>` stop
To start the extension:	For Docker: # 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>` start For Podman # 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>` start
To restart the extension:	For Docker: # 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>` restart For Podman # 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>` restart
Renew certificate for a VM-based extension	Run the following command on the extension host: # 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>` renew_extension Then provide the CloudPoint IP/FQDN, and the extension token which can be generated from NetBackup Web UI to begin renewal of the certificates. See Installing the CloudPoint extension on a VM.
Renew certificate for a managed Kubernetes cluster-based extension	Download the extension installation script `cp_extension_start.sh` from the NetBackup Web UI . Execute the script from the host where kubectl is installed. Run the following commands: # chmod +x cp_extension_start.sh # ./cp_extension_start.sh renew Then provide the CloudPoint IP/FQDN, extension token (which can be generated from NetBackup Web UI ), and the extension namespace to begin renewal of the certificates. See Installing the CloudPoint extension on a managed Kubernetes cluster.
