What can and can not do with NSS

atoyoda
Level 3

Currently, we design NetBackup Self Service operation for Japanese customers.
Please let me ask questions about operation using NSS.

Q1. About job cancellation operation
We want to cancel running (Active) backup job using NSS.
Is this possible?

Q2. About restoration with VADP.
There is an NBU environment that works with VADP.
We want to implement a restore with VMDK specified.

Is it possible to perform restore operation with VMDK specified using NSS-WeB-GUI?
Is it possible to perform operations equivalent to command option assignment from the NSS - Web - GUI? (Do you need API development?)

Q3. About restoration of BMR
I want to execute BMR restore operation from NSS.
Is this function currently implemented in NSS? If it is not implemented, is it possible to be implemented in the future?


Best regards.

Hi - I have answered your questins below.

Q1. About job cancellation operation
We want to cancel running (Active) backup job using NSS.
Is this possible?

No. NSS versions prior to 8.1.2 do not contain any job information. NSS 8.1.2 shows job information (assuming that the master server is also 8.1.2) but there is no ability to cancel a job. Job operations like cancellation will be added in a future release.

Q2. About restoration with VADP.
There is an NBU environment that works with VADP.
We want to implement a restore with VMDK specified.

Is it possible to perform restore operation with VMDK specified using NSS-WeB-GUI?

No. It is possible to use Instant Recovery and then use vCenter to move the disks between machines. VM instant recovery is available as an add-on to NSS performed as a PS engagement.

Is it possible to perform operations equivalent to command option assignment from the NSS - Web - GUI? (Do you need API development?)

It is possible to extend NSS functionality with custom command calls but it requires PS work.

Q3. About restoration of BMR
I want to execute BMR restore operation from NSS.
Is this function currently implemented in NSS? If it is not implemented, is it possible to be implemented in the future?

BMR is not supported, it is in the feature list but it has not been allocated to a release.
