Flex 5260 help with API
Hello everyone, I am currently struggling with finding up-to-date resource regarding the available API endpoints for Flex 6.0. The closest i got was to https://sort.veritas.com/public/documents/FAPP/6.0/veritas5260/productguides/html/flex-restapis-6.0/ but even those are documented very poorly. Their github has last update 2 years ago and contains strange endpoints which in reality dont appear to exist, e.g. /api/appliance/v1.0/netbackup/checkpoints. Swagger would be helpful to at least test the commands but Swagger URL which i found here https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/139332629-144656221-0/v143532640-144656221 doesnt work for me at all, i get 404. Any hints?
Flex Appliance Sizing
Hi Guys, I'm new to Netbackup products, even more so to its Appliances. We've received a new Flex 5260 appliance, which we're going to configure. Before starting the configuration, we're consulting the Veritas documentation to better understand how the device works. For a first review, two questions come to mind: Size of the application instances volumes : In our Appliance, we'll create two instances, one Primary and one MediaServer (MSDP); How can we get NBU recommendations regarding volumes sizes ? (Primary Catalog, MSDP, AdvDisk, Staging ... Etc). In the configuration of a new MediaServer instance, we came across the following volumes : MSDP, AdvancedDisk, Staging. And since we are going to use Dedup, then automatically we'll create an MSDP volume. In this case, should we set AdvancedDisk and Staging to 0 GB ? What is the purpose of the "Staging volume" ? Is there any sort of Sizing Tool provided by Veritas for this purpose ? To get the right requirements for each component depending on the environment to be backed up (Number of clients, FET, BET ...etc.) Thanks in advance for any provided guidance. Regards.
Different networks on Flex Appliances
Hi Guys, I hope you can help me with this, our customer bought 2 Flex Appliances 5350 and we have clients from two different network segments (192.168.x.x and 10.70.) I´m not sure about the deployment, the whole idea is to have only one MSDP server and only one worm server. Does anyone knows how to configure this? How the cabling would go? My idea is to cable two ports to each switch and then assign each link aggregation on each instance, am I right?Integration NetBackup Appliance - Nutanix
Hi Guys, I´m following the documentation but I´m lost at the point to take backups, so I have some questions: - According to the documentation, we should use ISCSI, is this documentation related to backups/restores? - The Primary and the media server are in the same 5250 NetBackup appliance, should I need an access host? - If needed, is this access host a VM in the Nutanix environment?
