Hi everyone,
We want to integrate NBU client 8.1.2 in a vmWare VM template.
We have found these topics :
- preinstall Netbackup client on an VM Template
- Preinstall Netbackup client in a VM template (Windows / Linux)
Do you know if this method is supported with NBU client 8.1.2 ?
Are there additional tasks to be done NBU client 8.1.2 ?
Thx for your help.
Hi,
In 8.1.1 and later there are certificates in play so you'll need to generate a new cert for the client after you've created it from template.
Ok thx RiaanBadenhorst......
You have an example of command to execute step by step ?
Thx for your feedback.
You could do the following: install NetBackup client in the VM (template) and during the install establish trust with the master server (I think FQDN of client does not come in play in this task) and choose not to deply the certificate to the client. You can deploy the certificate once the new VM has been generated from the template and configured with proper hostname and IP address (and reverse IP is setup).
Commands:
Establish trust: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\nbcertcmd.exe -getCACertificate -server <master server FQDN>
Deploy certificate: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\nbcertcmd.exe -getCertificate -server <master server FQDN>
List CA cert details: C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\nbcertcmd.exe -listCACertDetails
PS: don't forget to verify CLIENT_NAME setting for newly deployed VM before deploying the NetBackup security cert
