Auto Image Replication configuration
The backups that are generated in one NetBackup domain can be replicated to storage in one or more target NetBackup domains. This process is referred to as Auto Image Replication.
You can configure Auto Image Replication in NetBackup Flex Scale.
To configure Auto Image Replication
- Go to the NetBackup web UI and add a trusted primary server. Click Next.
- In the source domain, get the MSDP_SERVER from the NetBackup web UI. Navigate to Storage > Storage configuration > Storage servers.
- Add MSDP_SERVER in target primary server. In the target domain, logon to the target primary server using the following command:
ssh <backup_admin user>@<primary ip/hostname> (appliance_admin password) sudo bash echo "MSDP_SERVER = <Source MSDP server name>" >> /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
- If both domains are configured with ECA, skip this step.
Get the token from the target domain NetBackup web UI. Go to Security > Token. In the Create token window, enter the token name and other required details. Click Create.
- Add replication targets for the disk pool.
In the Disk pools tab, click on the disk pool link.
Click Add to add the replication target.
- In the Add replication targets window:
Select the target primary server.
Input the target domain token.
Note:
If both domains are configured with ECA, the target's token is not required.
Select the target volume.
Input the target storage credentials. Refer to the YAML configuration file for details.
YAML file:
user_management: storage_server: - password: P@ssw0rd1234 user_name: root users: - password: P@ssw0rd1234 roles: - appliance_admin - backup_admin user_name: appadmin - password: P@ssw0rd1234 roles: - backup_admin user_name: nbuadmin
Click Add.
