Catalogic Software vStor
vPlus supports Catalogic vStor Server and integrates with it with extended File System Backup Destination logic.
You can use Catalogic volumes like any other file system (mount a single volume over NFS) or you can use the scripts provided to automatically create and replicate volumes whenever vStor volume is being accessed. This documentation describes a setup with 2 vStor servers and a 1-volume-per-VM approach (with optional replication).
vPlus accesses vStor Servers using SSH public key authentication - first generate the key:
Add the VM fingerprint to the SSH known_hosts on the node for the primary (and optionally secondary) vStor Server:
It must be a
known_hosts
file that belongs to thevprotect
userThe algorithm must be set to
ssh-rsa
Example:
Copy the key to each vStor Server:
Open the Backup Destinations section on the left menu.
Create a new Catalogic vStor Server Backup Destination (choose from the top-right drop-down menu).
Fill in the template with your information.
FIRST_VS_HOST
- your primary vStor Server IP/hostnameSECOND_VS_HOST
- optional, secondary vStor Server IP/hostname, where the data will be replicated toVS_PARTNER_ID
- optional, secondary vStor partner ID - you can get this ID by running this command on the vStor Server shell:If a secondary server is not provided, vPlus will assume that no replication is needed.
Initiate backup to test if the scripts have been executed correctly - in the
vprotect_daemon.log
files, you should be able to see messages like this:
