NetBackup™ Flex Scale Administrator's Guide

Configuring the console FQDN

You can now log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale UI using the console FQDN.

To configure the console FQDN

  1. Go to Settings > Network > Management Network.
  2. Click Add console FQDN.
  3. For a cluster which is configured with DNS settings, enter the FQDN or short name which resolves to the console IP.

    For a non-DNS cluster, you can add any FQDN which is free or an IP that is not mapped to any FQDN.

    Note:

    You cannot add FQDN short name.

    Click Add.

  4. The Adding Console FQDN task is initiated. You can click View Details to see the progress of the task. Alternatively, you can also click the Recent Activity icon from the top right of the UI to see the status of the most recent operations.
  5. Once the configuration is complete, you can access the NetBackup Flex Scale UI using the console FQDN.
  • If ECA is configured, then you must reconfigure the external certificate, so that the console FQDN is added in SAN entries.

  • If ECA is not configured, then the internal certificate is regenerated, so that the console FQDN is added in the SAN entries,. The GUI server is automatically restarted aftert he internal certificate is re generated.

  • On a NetBackup Flex Scale cluster on which both primary and media servers are deployed, the NetBackup SAN and CORS entries are updated with the console FQDN.

Limitations

This feature has the following limitations:

  • You cannot edit or remove console FQDN once added.

  • ECA must be reconfigured after adding the console FQDN.
