Two different credentials for vCenter
Hi Using Netbackup 10 I create backup of my virtual hosts via connecting to vSphere vCenter infrastructure. As we all know It is not safe to use a user with full permission (Write permission) to create backups while it is mandatory to use a write-enabled user for restoring backups. The problem is every time I need to do a restore I should change the credentials added to Netbackup to another user. Isn't it possible to add two different credentials for one vCenter and choose which one to use in backup and restore operations?

Hi All, I am pretty new to Veritas Netbackup systems and I have been dealing with a status 196 on a client environment that has now been happening for a month. This issue is resulting in multiple policies failing due to a backup window timeout error. The policies failing are VMWare policies and are configured to use the vsphere intellingent policy backup method using annotations. I raised a veritas support case and the TSE based on his investigation advised to reduce the number of backup jobs from each policy running at any given time. However this atleast for now can not be done due to the client's requirement of not having backups run during business hours. Currently the backups are set to full backups and are backing up sizes raning from 4TB, 2TB, 1TB. I was wondering if any assistance or knowledge share can be done here to help troubleshoot and diagnose the issue at hand? Happy to provid emore clear and concise information for further understanding. Many Thanks!1.4KViews0likes4CommentsRefreshing NBU connection with VCenter
Hello Folks, OS - Redhat 6.9 NBU 8.1 VCenter 6.5 I have about 5 vcenters added to NetBackup and i am making use of custom attributes for intelligent vmware queries in the policy. recently added a new custom attribute which i would like to use in my query build but dont see it available just yet. it has been about 24 hours since the custom attribute was updated on few of the virtual machines. Is there some way to refresh the connection between NBU and VCenter to ensure it picks up the new custom attribute ? Thank you in Advance.Solved2.3KViews0likes3CommentsRestore VMDK as a file
Hello Is there a way to restore VMDK backups as flat files to an alternate location? Without restoring the VM itself? This question came up because we had an issue with our vCenter a few weeks back and realized we couldn't restore ANY VM's without vCenter being active so we are looking for a way to recover vCenter without vCenter. One way we think we can skin this cat is to use the vmdk files and push those to a host. However I don't know HOW to get the VMDK's out from netbackup as files. Suggestions?
