I am trying to test the MongoDB v3.6 backup and restore with NBU8.2 version in our Lab. I know that the MongoDB is NOT officially supported by NBU yet for now. But I already got the Veritas Beta MongoDB plugin software and relevant draft NBU admin guide for MongoDB. I am looking through the draft doc. The Beta version can support the MongoDB backup and restore with NBU8.2 at this moment.
Now I am stuck when need to add the certificate-based credentials for the existing MongoDB instance. Now the RSA is not set up and configured on the MongoDB server. From MongoDB perspective, it is not necessary. But it seems that the RSA fingerprint is necessary from NBU perspective as per the instructions below of the NBU admin guide for MongoDB.
Who can give me some guidance or advice in this regard? Thanks in advance.
About the RSA fingerprint
For MongoDB you need to provide the RSA fingerprint when you add the credentials.
■ RSA key must be in MD5 format.
■ Ensure that RSA is supported on the backup host. Run the following command:
ssh-keygen -l -f ssh_host_rsa_key
Adding MongoDB credentials in NetBackup
To obtain the RSA fingerprint for MongoDB
1 Run the following command:
ssh-keyscan -t ssh-rsa application_server_name > tmp.keyhas 2>/dev/null
2 Run the following command:
ssh-keygen -l -f tmp.keyhas
3 Copy the RSA fingerprint. You need to provide this fingerprint when you add
the MongoDB credentials.
