Configuring Cloud Solutions with NetBackup Appliances
  • The table below shows when a NetBackup cloud configuration and device mappings RPM package is required for configuring cloud providers with NetBackup Appliances. "Included in release" means that version of the NetBackup Appliance software contains the information needed for configuring that cloud provider, so installing an RPM is not required.
  • Configuration for the cloud storage provider must be done using the Cloud Storage Configuration wizard in the NetBackup Administration Console. After this configuration is completed, you must manually create a backup policy for the deduplication (MSDP) pool catalog. For details, see the "NetBackup 52xx Appliance Initial Configuration Guide".

SAN Media Server/SAN Client/FT Media Server for Client
  • • Unless otherwise noted the minimum NetBackup level for SAN Client support is NetBackup 6.5 GA.
  • SAN style backups via SAN Media Server
  • SAN media servers are NetBackup media servers that back up their own data. SAN media servers cannot back up data that resides on other clients. SAN media servers are useful for certain situations. For example, a SAN media server is useful if the data volume consumes so much network bandwidth that it affects your network negatively.
    • Enables LAN-free data protection with high performance access to shared resources.
    • Can share tape resources with NetBackup Primary and Media Servers.
    • Can only back itself up, not other clients.
    • Software is installed stand-alone on each cluster node and linked to the virtual host via an application cluster.
    • When you define a backup policy for a SAN media server, add only the SAN media server as the client.
    • The NetBackup Shared Storage Option is able to use NetBackup SAN media servers.
    • There is no platform restriction regarding SAN Media Servers - any Media Server can be a SAN Media Server. The only difference is in the license authentication mechanism. Application and DB Agents are supported with the SAN Media Server.
  • SAN style backups via SAN Client
  • A NetBackup SAN client is a NetBackup client on which the Fiber Transport service is activated. The SAN client is similar to the SAN media server that is used for the Shared Storage Option; it backs up its own data. However, the SAN client is based on the smaller NetBackup client installation package, so it has fewer administration requirements and uses fewer system resources.
    • It connects to a NetBackup media server over Fiber Channel.
    • The NetBackup SAN Client Fiber Transport Service manages the connectivity and the data transfers for the FT pipe on the SAN clients. The SAN client FT service also discovers FT target mode devices on the NetBackup media servers and notifies the FT Service Manager about them.
    • Requires SAN connectivity with a Media Server running Fiber Transport Services (reference additional information below in regards to the FT Media Server).

    SAN client does not support the following types of backup:
    • SharePoint
    • Enterprise Vault
    • Exchange DAG or CCR backups through a passive node of an Exchange cluster
    • All other application and database agents are supported with the SAN Client.

    Note: SAN client does support the use of FlashBackup but all restores from FlashBackup backups will use the LAN connection, not the SAN connection.
  • SAN client and NetBackup Deduplication
  • • SAN Client is a NetBackup optional feature that provides high speed backups and restores of NetBackup clients. Fiber Transport is the name of the NetBackup high-speed data transport method that is part of the SAN Client feature. The backup and restore traffic occur over a SAN.
    • SAN clients can be used with the deduplication option; however, the deduplication must occur on the media server, not the client. Configure the media server to be both a deduplication storage server (or load balancing server) and an FT media server. The SAN client backups are then sent over the SAN to the deduplication server/FT media server host. At that media server, the backup stream is deduplicated.
    • Do not enable client deduplication on SAN Clients. The data processing for deduplication is incompatible with the high-speed transport method of Fiber Transport. Client-side deduplication relies on two-way communication over the LAN with the media server. A SAN client streams the data to the FT media server at a high rate over the SAN.
  • FT Media Server
  • A NetBackup FT media server is a NetBackup media server on which the Fiber Transport services are activated. NetBackup FT media servers accept connections from SAN clients and send data to the storage units. The host bus adapters (HBAs) that accept connections from the SAN clients use a special NetBackup target mode driver to process FT traffic. The media server FT service controls data flow, processes SCSI commands, and manages data buffers for the server side of the FT pipe. It also manages the target mode driver for the host bus adaptors.

Temporary Disk Space Requirement for Install or Upgrade
    After downloading the software, temporary disk space is required for the installation process on almost all platforms. For local installs or remote (push) installs using the rsh or ssh method, you may designate where this temporary space is located via use of environment variables, NB_TMPDIR or TMPDIR on the client. NB_TMPDIR is used if set, TMPDIR next if set, otherwise /tmp. For ftp or sftp remote installs, the client software is moved to /tmp on the client and during the install environment variables NB_TMPDIR or TMPDIR are used as mentioned previously. For details, consult the Installation Guide.

    Local installs on this platform do not require any temporary disk space.

    For remote installs, you will need approximately 1386 MBs for placement of the client software and, then, for the install.

    If using Live Update, you will need 4.5 GBs of temporary disk space. The location of the temporary disk space is designated in the 'workdir' setting in the /usr/openv/netbackup/nblu.conf file with /tmp being the default.
Valid Characters in Host Names Requirement
    NetBackup requires host names to comply with RFC-1123, meaning only ASCII characters "a" thru "z", case insensitive, and digits "0" thru "9" and the hyphen character.

Virtual Systems Compatibility for Client
  • This Statement of Support for NetBackup in a Virtual Environment document describes the extent of support for NetBackup within a virtual environment. Ideally, every NetBackup configuration supported in a traditional physical environment would also be supported in any virtual environment without qualification. While that is our mission, it is not always possible.

    Therefore, the purpose of this document is to:
    • Clarify differences between NetBackup support in physical vs. virtual environments
    • Describe general guidelines for support in virtual environments.
    • Describe impact upon specific NetBackup components: clients, servers, options, etc.
    • Provide references to related information.

NetBackup Snapshot Manager - Considerations
    Subject Notes
    Vendor support considerations1. All storage configurations shown in the tables below were tested with drivers and firmware supported by the storage array vendors. Check with these vendors for minimum driver and firmware levels, specific driver and firmware support, support for the stated Veritas products, and other functional options.
    2. Veritas supports hardware products listed below that include virtualization capability, but Veritas does not support compatibility issues that can be attributed to the virtualization feature. Veritas requires any compatibility issue to be reproduced in a non-virtualization environment. If the issue is confirmed to be related to Veritas products, Veritas will support its software at the same level as when that software is not running with hardware virtualization products. Veritas will cooperate with virtualization vendors, and attempt to assist in the diagnosis of problems found between the virtualization and Veritas products.
    3. Minor ("double-dot") versions of the software listed in the tables below are also supported. (Example: "v5.0" means versions v5.0.1, v5.0.2, etc. are also supported.)
    General considerationsWith NetBackup 10.1 onwards, NetBackup CloudPoint is renamed as NetBackup Snapshot Manager.
    Consistency Group SnapshotsNetBackup Snapshot Manager support consistency group (CG) snapshots for SAN storage arrays wherever CG level snapshot is optimal and applicable. The supported hardware table below mentions whether NetBackup Snapshot Manager performs CG level snapshot for a particular storage array vendor or not.
    Storage Array ReplicationWith NetBackup 10.1 onwards, NetBackup Snapshot Manager can replicate the NAS storage array snapshots that are taken by NetBackup. You must upgrade the NetBackup primary server, media server, and clients to version 10.1 and above to use the replication capabilities. Refer to the "NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's guide" for more details about replication.

Cloud Object Store Protection
  • With NetBackup 10.1 onwards, NetBackup can protect Azure Blob Storage and a wide variety of S3 API-compatible object stores like AWS S3, and Google Cloud Platform’s object store. You can deploy the NetBackup environment in the same cloud network as the object store, or outside of it.

    For more information about Cloud Object store protection, refer to the "NetBackup™ Web UI Cloud Object Store Administrator's Guide".

    Note: Cloud vendors may levy substantial charges for data egress for moving data out of their network. Check your cloud provider pricing for data-out before configuring a backup policy that transfers data out of one cloud to another cloud region or an on-premises data center.
Cloud Object Store Protection - Considerations
    Subject Notes
    Support assumptions1. For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the "NetBackup 10.0 - 10.x.x Operating System Software Compatibility List" .
    2. NetBackup-certified cloud regions support is listed in the vendor tables in the Cloud Storage Solutions section of this HCL.
    3. NetBackup-certified cloud object storage support is listed in the vendor tables in the Cloud Storage Solutions section of this HCL.
    Storage tier considerationsNetBackup does not allow configuring all storage tiers to be protected for Cloud Object store because reading data from some of these tiers is very costly. For example, archival tiers from public cloud providers are meant for write once usage and reading data for backup from these tiers incurs a very high cost. If you still need to protect any of these tiers, please contact Veritas support to enable backup of such storage tiers.
    Configuration considerationsNetBackup is configured to trust a number of well-known public Certificate Authorities (CA) related to Cloud storage. However, there are instances where, for internal purposes, you may need to add your own self-signed CA certificate. For information on adding a self-signed CA certificate, please refer to "Cloud Storage Configuration: How To Add a Self-Signed CA Certificate" .
