Implement and configure AWS Backup for VMware Cloud on AWS VM workloads

Image
In our previous post we saw the design of the AWS Backup on VMC. In this post we’re going through the implementation steps As per the design and best practice, we are going to use the ENI for the Backup traffic CREATE A VPC ENDPOINT  TO CREATE AN INTERFACE ENDPOINT FOR AN AWS SERVICE 1. Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc    2. In the navigation pane, choose Endpoints 3. Choose Create endpoint 4. Name the endpoint   5. For Service category, choose AWS services 6. For Service name, search “ Backup ” and select “ backup-gateway ” service from the dropdown 7. For VPC, select the VPC which we used for SDDC deployment and extension 8. To create an interface endpoint for Amazon S3, you must “uncheck” Additional settings, Enable DNS name. This is because Amazon S3 does not support private DNS for interface VPC endpoints 9. For  Subnets , select one subnet per Availability Zone which we used for SDDC VMC selection  10. For Security group , sel

IBM STORAGE LUN SETUP:


                       IBM LUN setup is done using IBM Storage Manager Client or command line tools. Since most of our storage is mirrored the identical LUN has to be created on the both arrays. Storage Manager Client scripting allows easy duplication of identical setup on each array.

Code snippets

Creating host on IBM DS4000 storage system

Create a host entry on with proper host type (LINUX/WINDOWS)(more or less OS type).
create host userLabel="server" hostType=number;
create hostPort userLabel="server-p0" host="server" identifier="210000e0xxxxxxxx" interfaceType=interface

Example

create host userLabel="DBZones3" hostType=8;
create hostPort userLabel="DBZones3-p0" host="DBZones3" identifier="210000e08b9a2466" interfaceType=FC;
create hostPort userLabel="DBZones3-p1" host="DBZones3" identifier="210100e08bba2466" interfaceType=FC;

Creating logical drive (LUN) on IBM DS4000 storage system

create logicaldrive array="Array Name" userlabel="LUN name" capacity=X GB owner=(a|b) usagehint=filesystem;

Example

create logicaldrive array="SATA-Array3" userlabel="DBZones3_1" capacity=150 GB owner=a usagehint=filesystem;
create logicaldrive array="SATA-Array2" userlabel="DBZones3_2" capacity=150 GB owner=b usagehint=filesystem;
create logicaldrive array="SATA-Array1" userlabel="DBZones3_3" capacity=150 GB owner=a usagehint=filesystem;

Assigning the logical drive (LUN) to host on IBM DS4000 storage system

set logicalDrive ["LUN Name"] logicalUnitNumber=number host="server";

Example

set logicalDrive ["DBZones3_1"] logicalUnitNumber=0 host="DBZones3";
set logicalDrive ["DBZones3_2"] logicalUnitNumber=1 host="DBZones3";
set logicalDrive ["DBZones3_3"] logicalUnitNumber=2 host="DBZones3";
