Release Notes
This chapter includes the following topics:

■ About NetBackup Self Service 10.1.1

About NetBackup Self Service 10.1.1

NetBackup Self Service 10.1.1 empowers users to self-serve common backup and
restore requests while providing automation and control to IT.
Self Service's multi-tenant, role-based access, and dashboard features provide
visibility over what’s protected and ongoing backup usage. Self Service's request
forms put complex policy management tasks safely in the hands of users who are
not trained in the complexities of NetBackup administration.

For Enterprises
Managing backups and restores for many thousands of endpoints across multiple
locations and data centers is a task that typically requires a team of specialists.
Effecting changes to policies can be a time consuming, error prone, manual activity
that can leave vital resources unprotected.
Enabling an intuitive self-service portal reduces complexity and errors, and
automates a significant number of manual policy change activities. It also enables
non-backup specialists to carry out backup and recovery-related tasks in a controlled
and audited environment.

For Service providers

Providing backup and restore services to multiple tenants across mixed platforms
is a challenge for many service providers. Service providers can enable self-service
 NetBackup Self Service Release Notes 6

and automate tenant requests for backups and restores. This action puts the tenant
in control and significantly reduces provisioning costs.
NetBackup Self Service allows multiple tenants to access a tailored, self-service
portal through which requests to back up and restore infrastructure are made
intuitively. The status of their protected environments is tracked and reported.
Service providers gain from automation while ensuring strict separation and security
between tenant environments. Tenants gain control and visibility over what is
protected.

Installation
For details of how to install NetBackup Self Service, please refer to the NetBackup
Self Service 10.1.1 Installation Guide.

New features and enhancements

Nutanix support in NetBackup Self Service
NetBackup Self Service provides the capability for backups and restores of Nutanix
applications in the form of virtual machines. The virtual machines in the Nutanix
Prism Central and Nutanix Cluster are imported from the NetBackup environment
and registered within Self Service. The import is performed on a tenant by tenant
basis.
NetBackup Self Service lets you perform the operations shown:
■ Import Nutanix virtual machines for protection from NetBackup server.
■ Associate tenant with the Nutanix Prism Central and Nutanix Cluster import.
■ View discovered virtual machines.
■ Manage protection to protect Nutanix assets.
■ Backup now option is added to perform backup of Nutanix virtual machines.

 New features and enhancements 8

■ Monitor backup and restore operations.

Configure Storage
This screen is used to configure the storage name from the corresponding Backup
server and corresponding protection plan name from NetBackup Self Service.
Added additional validation in Import Nutanix screen. The validation confirms that
the selected primary server and selected protection plan have configured storage
in Configure Storage screen. The validation is included to allow NetBackup Self
Service to create storage on the fly when Nutanix protection is created.

Cross-vAPP Restore
A new configuration item that is called ESX Host Selection Algorithm is included
in the NetBackup Adapter section. Three options are included: Random Match,
Best Match, and First Match. The default is Random Match. This option is used
when NetBackup Self Service tries to restore a VCD VM from one vApp to another
if the source and the destination vApp are on different Organization vDCs.
NetBackup Self Service uses this option when it attempts to restore a VCD virtual
machine from one vApp to another, when the source and destination vApp are on
different Organization vDCs.
Allowed values for this setting are:
■ Random Match:
■ Randomly choose an ESX host A from all available ones.
■ For host A, randomly choose a resource pool.
■ For host A, choose the datastore with the maximum free space.

■ First Match:
■ Choose the first available ESX host A.
■ For host A, randomly choose a resource pool.
■ For host A, choose the datastore with the maximum free space.

■ Best Match:
■ Choose the ESX host A which is attached to the datastore with the maximum
free space.
■ For host A, randomly choose a resource pool.
■ For host A, choose the datastore with the maximum free space.
