Access key requirements
To enable integration between NetBackup and Cohesity Data Cloud, create an API access key on the NetBackup primary server.
You can create the key using either the NetBackup web UI or REST APIs. The access key is used by Cohesity nodes to authenticate and retrieve NetBackup configuration data.
To validate the access key, run a REST API query from a Cohesity node to confirm connectivity with the NetBackup primary server.
{
"data": {
"type": "apiKeyCreationRequest",
"attributes": {
"expireAfterDays": "P365D",
"userName": "root",
"userDomain": "",
"userDomainType": "unixpwd",
"description": ""
}
}
}
Run the following command to validate the access key. Using this access key, the Cohesity node can retrieve NetBackup host information:
curl --resolve <<NBU_Primary_Hostname>>:443:<<NBU_Primary_IP>> -s -k -X GET "https://<<NBU_Primary_Hostname>>/netbackup/config/hosts" \ -H "Authorization: <<Access_Key>>" \ -H "accept: application/vnd.netbackup+json;version=13.0" | jq
