Configure NetBackup Kubernetes data mover

You need to configure data mover for the NetBackup Kubernetes workload. Download the correct version of the data mover image:

You need to configure Netbackup Kubernetes Operator namespace to support Backup from Snapshot and Restore from Backup. (Backup copy). Download the correct version of the data mover image:veritasnetbackup-datamover-11.0.tarfor your release version, from the download center. See https://www.veritas.com/content/support

To configure data mover

  1. To push the data mover image to image registry, run the command:

    docker login -u <user name> <repo-name>

  2. Enter the password upon prompt. Skip this step if you are already logged in
  3. Run docker load -i <name of the datamover image file>
  4. Run docker tag <datamover image name:tag of the loaded datamover image> <repo-name/image-name:tag-name>
  5. docker push <repo-name/image-name:tag-name>

    Note:

    In the example, docker is used for reference. You can use any CLI tool which has equivalent capabilities.

  6. Ensure that the configmap with primary server name, have image value set to <repo-name/image-name:tag-name> pushed in step no 4.

    Example,

    apiVersion: v1
    data:
      datamover.properties: image=<image-repo>/datamover:<datamover tag>
      version: "1"
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: <Primary Server Name>
