Managing NetBackup deployment using VxUpdate

VxUpdate package is not shipped with the NetBackup deployment package. You must download and add it in NetBackup primary server.

To manage NetBackup deployment using VxUpdate

  1. Download the required VxUpdate package on the docker-host used to interact with Kubernetes cluster.
  2. Copy the VxUpdate package to primary server pod using the kubectl cp <path-vxupdate.sja> <primaryServerNamespace>/<primaryServer-pod-name>:<path-on-primary-pod> command.
  3. After VxUpdate package is available on primary server Pod, add it to NetBackup repository using any one of the following:
    • Select the VxUpdate package from the NetBackup Web UI.

    • Execute the following command in the primary server pod:

      kubectl exec -it -n <primaryserver-namespace> <primaryServer-pod-name> -- bash

      And run the following command:

      nbrepo -a <vxupdate-package-path-on-PrimaryPod>

    After adding the VxUpdate package to nbrepo, this package is persisted even after pod restarts.
