Introduction
Introduction

• While NetBackup has reporting options, OpsCenter has many more


options available to pull information from NetBackup.
• Who should use it?
– Anyone who has multiple supported NetBackup versions – such as 7.7.1 and 7.7.3 –
then OpsCenter can pull data from each of these Masters and combine the information
into a single report.

• If you have multiple NBU Masters, OpsCenter allows them to see all of the
jobs across all of the masters.
• There is no limit to the number of Jobs that can be reported on,
performance can suffer after 150k jobs per day.
– However in OpsCenter 7.6 and later we have customers running more than 150k jobs
per day across the NBU domain that are happy with the performance.

7 © 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.


What Is It?

• OpsCenter is a Web based software application that provides visibility into


the data protection environments.
• It allows you to
o Monitor and Manage NetBackup and NetBackup 52xx Appliance setups
o Generate alerts depending on defined conditions
o Proactive vs. Reactive management
o Create and customize “Views”
o Groups of NetBackup Objects
o Comprehensive reporting options
o Restore files and folders using Operational Restore

8 © 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.


What Can OpsCenter Do?

• Using Views can help a customer group machines or other NBU objects into a single group
which makes reporting easier and more granular. If they use SLP’s, or Dedupe, or are an
Appliance customer the reports and alerts in OpsCenter can greatly enhance the
experience.
• It can monitor what is going on in the NetBackup environment using the initial dashboard
which is a live overview of what is going on.
• Using Alerts to proactively monitor what is happening can help avoid critical situations such
as the catalog filling up, or all of the drives being down.
• Reporting is where OpsCenter really shines. Point and Click reports to help customers see
what happened in their NetBackup environment over the weekend, or last night, or any time
frame up to 60 days ago using base OpsCenter, and much longer using OpsCenter
Analytics with an unlock key.
• Restores of flat file data using Operational restore provides the ability to search for files
across multiple clients and masters; something that can’t be done with the NBU restore GUI.
9 © 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.
Advantages

• Central location to view Backup data for multiple backup domains


• Capability to monitor storage utilization, backup/restore results, policy
administration, and much more
• View Based Access Control limits access based on a define Role
• Provides alerting to send out direct emails or SNMP notification when an
alert condition is met
• Allows customized reporting options which can assist with compliance,
business planning, and service level agreements

Fundamentals
A Change Since OpsCenter 7.7.3

• OpsCenter interface requires HTTPS protocol


• Starting in NetBackup 7.7.3 the OpsCenter interface must be accessed
through
– https://server:port/opscenter
– instead of through http://server:port/opscenter.
• For security reasons, OpsCenter no longer supports access to the GUI
through the HTTP protocol. HTTPS must be used instead.

Components

• OpsCenter Master
– Heart of the architecture
– Web application in front of a database that stores information sent from NetBackup for
reporting purposes
– Supported on Windows and UNIX platforms.
• OpsCenter View Builder
– Create, Modify, and Manage OpsCenter Views
• OpsCenter Agent
– Only required for license reporting as of 8.0

You must install OpsCenter Server, Agent, and View Builder of the same versions.
For example, Server 8.0 is compatible only with Agent 8.0 and View Builder 8.0.

15 © 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.


Components: OpsCenter Server

• Install OpsCenter Master on separate server from NBU Master


• Uses Sybase ASA database
– Starting from OpsCenter 8.0, the database password is set to an auto-generated string
during installation.
– During OpsCenter upgrade, the installer retains the old password, if you had changed it
from the default value. During upgrade, if the password is still the default one, that is
'SQL', the installer changes it to an auto-generated string. You can change the
database password using the changeDbPassword utility
– For more information, refer to
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.v28386705_NBU_Ops_Web

• Access the OpsCenter GUI from any web browser


– Check compatibility list for supported browser versions
• “All in one” installation included on OpsCenter installation media
Can share NBU Master in very small (less than 1000 jobs per day) environments 

16 © 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.


Components: View Builder

• A View is a grouping of NetBackup Objects


– All clients used for Finance Servers
– All Masters in the Chicago Data center
• View Builder is a separate install included on the OC install media
– Requires login credentials
• Directly connects to the OpsCenter Master
– Fetches the existing object view definitions from database and displays them in the
View Builder console
– Actions performed using the View Builder console are then stored in the OpsCenter
database

17 © 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.


Components: OpsCenter Agent

How does it work?


– Data sent from NetBackup Masters using NBSL
– Data is stored in OpsCenter database – separate from NetBackup database
– It relies on the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to perform its functions.
– Uses embedded AT (Product Authentication Service) to authenticate itself with the
OpsCenter Server

Note: starting in 7.7.2 support for monitoring and reporting on 3rd party products such as TSM,
Legato, etc. were dropped.
Enterprise Vault was dropped and no newer versions of BE were added.

18 © 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.


Software Components Used By OpsCenter
• Veritas Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
PBX lets applications share a common TCP/IP port, which reduces the required number
of open ports in firewalls. PBX also integrates with the Product Authentication Service to
allow for authenticated connections and non-authenticated connections. Because PBX is
an independent component, its port number can be changed using PBX configuration
files.
• JRE (Java Runtime Environment)
The Veritas NetBackup OpsCenter Web server and the OpsCenter application require
this component

19 © 2017 Veritas Technologies LLC. All rights reserved.


How It Collects Data From NetBackup?
• The NetBackup data collection and management logic that OpsCenter
uses is built into NetBackup master servers. This logic is included in the
NetBackup Service Layer (NBSL)
• If NBSL stops, OpsCenter may not capture any changes that were made
to the NetBackup configuration
– When NBSL restarts, OpsCenter correctly recaptures the latest state
• The OpsCenter server software collects data from NBSL in the following
ways:
Refer to following article for more
– Initial data load details:http://www.veritas.com/docs/000113641
– Listening for change notifications

Whenever OpsCenter server software starts, or when a master server is added to OpsCenter, the OpsCenter server starts collecting all the
available data from NetBackup master server into the OpsCenter database using NBSL. The initial data load happens serially for each data
type. As soon as the initial data load is complete, OpsCenter server software listens to the notifications from NBSL for any change in NetBackup
data, and updates the OpsCenter database.

Whiteboards & Example
Diagrams
Accessing The Console
• Use the URL that is presented at the end of the OpsCenter Server
installation to access the OpsCenter console. Alternately type the
following in the Web browser address bar:
– https://<server-host>/opscenter
• By default, OpsCenter tries to run on port 443 (HTTPS). If port 443 is not
available, OpsCenter can use a different port.
• To know more about the HTTPS port that OpsCenter uses, run the
configurePorts utility. (INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\gui\bin\goodies\configurePorts.bat
)
• Log on as admin (user name) /password (password) on the private
domain: OpsCenterUsers(vx)

Getting Started

• OpsCenter 8.0 provides you with the


Getting Started feature that assists you in
the initial OpsCenter configuration.
• When you logon to OpsCenter 8.0 for the
first time, you need to do a few initial
configurations in the following
recommended sequence to start
monitoring NetBackup.
• You can carry out these tasks using other
tabs and screens across the OpsCenter
GUI. However, the OpsCenter Getting
Started feature provides four simple set of
wizards and GUI screens that help you do
all the required configurations in one go.
• Once you do all these configurations,
NetBackup data collection begins. You
can then generate the required reports
using the Reports tab.

Alerting
• OpsCenter comes with a set of predefined alert conditions.
• You can create alert policies based on these alert conditions to detect
when something goes wrong in your NetBackup environment and
troubleshoot NetBackup.
• The alerts help you to anticipate and handle problems before they occur.
• You can receive these alerts by logging on to OpsCenter, and also by
email or SNMP traps. You can specify email and SNMP recipients while
creating an alert policy.
• Alert conditions can be divided into the following categories:
–Event-based alert conditions
For these alert conditions, OpsCenter retrieves data from NetBackup based on notifications
from NBSL.
–Periodic alert conditions
For these alert conditions, OpsCenter retrieves data from NetBackup based on a wait time (of
up to 15 minutes).

Managing Views
• A database view is a restricted presentation of data by particular
constraint.
– For example, an employee database may have a view that restricts presentation to
“employee.state = “oregon”.
– In this way employee data for Idaho is excluded without having to specifically mention it.
• NetBackup OpsCenter views are logical groups of IT assets (master
servers or clients) organized in a hierarchical manner.
– A Security Administrator or an Administrator can create views either from OpsCenter
console or the OpsCenter View Builder (formerly called Java View Builder) and make
them available in the OpsCenter console.
• OpsCenter has a default view, “All Master Servers”. All data is related to
the NetBackup master servers from which it originated.

Refer to this technote to know more about OpsCenter views:
