NetBackup™ Flex Scale Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing EEBs using REST APIs

You can perform an upgrade by installing EEBs using REST APIs.

To install EEBs using REST APIs

  1. (Optional) Upload an EEB package file to the cluster. This also downloads the EEB directly.
    POST /api/appliance/v1.0/upgrade/upload

    Usually, the EEB RPM file upload takes around 2 minutes.

  2. Find the list of all the available EEBs (downloaded/installed).
    GET /api/appliance/v1.0/upgrade/eebs
  3. Find the summary of a specific EEB.
    GET /api/appliance/v1.0/upgrade/eebs/{eebName}
  4. (Optional) Find the directory path where the EEB should be placed.
    GET /api/appliance/v1.0/upgrade/path
  5. Install the EEB.
    PATCH /api/appliance/v1.0/upgrade/eebs/{eebName}
  6. You can find the details of the progress of the EEB installation using the task ID.
    GET /api/appliance/v1.0/tasks/{taskId}
