Solution



How to set up a bi-directional trust to configure Veritas Backup Reporter in order to collect PureDisk data

Setup a bi-directional authentication trust between root brokers.
This configuration assumes the PureDisk Server and the VBR Server/Agent are installed each with default local Authentication Root broker.

***Get the Private Root Domain, Broker, and Port from each host***

1. Logon as Administrator to VBR Server/Agent and show the Authentication private root domain
C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Veritas Backup Reporter\EmbeddedAT\4.4.110.4\bin>vssat listpd --pdrtype root
RESULT:
Domain(s) Found 1
****************************
Domain Name root@VBR_host_name
Expiry Interval 0
****************************

2. List the broker and port for the root domain found:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Veritas Backup Reporter\EmbeddedAT\4.4.110.4\bin>vssat showbrokers --domain vx:root@VBR_host_name (from step #1)
RESULT:
showbrokers
----------------------
----------------------
Broker Count: 1
Broker Name: <VBR_host_name> Port Number 2821

3. Logon as Administrator to the PureDisk SPA server and show the Authentication private root domain
PureDisk:~> /opt/VRTSat/bin/vssat listpd --pdrtype root
RESULT:
Domain(s) Found 1
****************************
Domain Name root@PureDisk_host_name
Expiry Interval 0
****************************

4. List the broker and port for the root domain found:
PureDisk:~> /opt/VRTSat/bin/vssat showbrokers --domain vx:root@PureDisk_host_name (from step #3)
RESULT:
showbrokers
----------------------
----------------------
Broker Count: 1
Broker Name: <PureDisk_host_name > Port Number 2821



***Setup the bidirectional trust using the information collected above***

1. Log on as Administrator to the VBR Server/Agent host and setup a trust to the PureDisk root broker
C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Veritas Backup Reporter\EmbeddedAT\4.4.110.4\bin>vssat setuptrust --broker PureDisk_host_name:2821 --securitylevel low
RESULT:
setuptrust
----------------------
----------------------
Setup Trust With Broker: <PureDisk_host_name>

2. Log on as root to the PureDisk SPA host and setup a trust to the VBR root broker as www-data
PureDisk:~ # su www-data
www-data@PureDisk:~> /opt/VRTSat/bin/vssat setuptrust --broker VBR_host_name:2821 --securitylevel low
RESULT:
setuptrust
----------------------
----------------------
Setup Trust With Broker: <VBR_host_name>


Add the PureDisk module in the VBR Console with Settings > Global Settings > Agent Configuration > Click on Agent > Configured Data Collectors > Create
