NetBackup™ Flex Scale Administrator's Guide

Working with NetBackup Flex Scale APIs

NetBackup Flex Scale employs a dedicated nginx-based web server that runs the API gateway and the management server. All UI access and API requests are sent to this web server. A single IP address and FQDN is used for accessing the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure UI as well as the NetBackup Web UI.

  • You can access the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI using the following URL:

    https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161

    If you are using IPv6 addresses, use the following URL syntax:

    https://[ManagementServerIP]:14161

  • You can access the NetBackup Web UI using the following URL:

    https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN/webui

    If you are using IPv6 addresses, use the following URL syntax:

    https://[ManagementServerIP]/webui

Here, ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server during the cluster configuration.

Note:

If you access the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management UI by using the short host name from a node, set the DNS settings (name server, domain name, and search domain) or ensure that the entry for mapping the short host name to an IP address exists in the hosts file of the node.

NetBackup Flex Scale provides APIs that are built using the standard Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture. You can use the RESTful APIs to control all aspects of your NetBackup Flex Scale configuration. There are APIs for infrastructure monitoring and management, user management, and for performing several other operations in your cluster.

Accessing the Swagger-based REST APIs

You can access the NetBackup Flex Scale APIs using the Swagger interface.

To access the APIs from a web browser

  • Open your browser and enter the following URL in the address bar:

    https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161/swagger/infra/v1.0

    If you are using IPv6 addresses, use the following URL syntax:

    https://[ManagementServerIP]:14161/swagger/infra/v1.0

    Here, ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server and API gateway during the cluster configuration.

    Note:

    If you access the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console by using the short host name from a node, set the DNS settings (name server, domain name, and search domain) or ensure that the entry for mapping the short host name to an IP address exists in the hosts file of the node.

  • For a quick introduction on how to use the APIs, refer to the getting started readme available at the following URL:

    https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161/swagger/infra/v1.0/readme

    If you are using IPv6 addresses, use the following URL syntax:

    https://[ManagementServerIP]:14161/swagger/infra/v1.0/readme

For more information on APIs, refer to the Veritas NetBackup Flex Scale API documentation on SORT.
