Installing Cloud Scale environment
To install NetBackup using Helm charts on Kubernetes cluster, perform the following:
- Download the NetBackup TAR package from Veritas Download Center which contains the container images and the Helm chart for NetBackup Kubernetes application.
- Deploy the operators. For more information on deploying the operators, refer to the following section:
- Deploy the fluentbit. For more information on deploying the fluentbit for logging strategy, refer to the following section:
- Deploy the PostgreSQL database. For more information on deploying the PostgreSQL database, refer to the following section:
See Deploying Postgres.
- Perform the following steps to deploy the
environment.yamlfile:Use the following command to save the environment chart values to a file:
helm show values environment-<version>.tgz > environment-values.yaml
Edit the chart values to fit the required environment:
vi environment-values.yaml
Generate the
environment.yamlfile as follows:helm template environment-<version>.tgz -f environment-values.yaml > environment.yaml
Use the following command to apply the
environment.yamlfile:kubectl apply -n netbackup -f environment.yaml
For example,
helm show values environment-11.0.tgz > environment-values.yaml $ $ vi environment-values.yaml $ $ helm template environment-11.0.tgz -f environment-values.yaml > environment.yaml $ $ kubectl apply -n netbackup -f environment.yaml secret/primary-credential-secret created secret/kms-secret created secret/example-key-secret created secret/msdp-secret1 created bundle.trust.cert-manager.io/db-cert created environment.netbackup.veritas.com/<userName>-nb created
Note:
By default, Helm stores the input values in a Kubernetes secret. Hence to avoid the values being discovered by anyone, customers must reset the database password after Cloud Scale deployment.
