MSDP Scaleout CR

  • The CR name must be fewer than 40 characters.

  • The MSDP credentials stored in the Secret must match MSDP credential rules.

    See Deduplication Engine credentials for NetBackup

  • MSDP CR cannot be deployed in the namespace of MSDP operator. It must be in a separate namespace.

  • You cannot reorder the IP/FQDN list. You can update the list by appending the information.

  • You cannot change the storage class name.

    The storage class must be backed with:

    • AKS: Azure disk CSI storage driver "disk.csi.azure.com"

    • EKS: Amazon EBS CSI driver "ebs.csi.aws.com"

  • You cannot change the data volume list other than for storage expansion. It is append-only and storage expansion only. Up to 16 data volumes are supported.

  • Like the data volumes, the catalog volume can be changed for storage expansion only.

  • You cannot change or expand the size of the log volume by changing the MSDP CR.

  • You cannot enable NBCA after the configuration.

  • Once KMS and the OST registration parameters set, you cannot change them.

  • You cannot change the core pattern.

See MSDP Scaleout CR template for EKS.
