For OpenShift: Installing and configuring Velero by using the OADP Operator
To protect OpenShift® cluster-scoped resources and namespace-scoped resources, you must use
the OpenShift APIs for Data Protection (OADP) operator
to install and configure the Velero tool in a dedicated namespace. The suggested name for the
IBM Spectrum® Protect
Plus Velero namespace is
spp-velero
.
Before you begin
If you installed an instance of Velero in the cluster for another purpose, you must install another instance of Velero for IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. Follow the instructions in Installing a second instance of Velero.
Download the OADP operator from the Operator Hub.
About this task
Procedure
What to do next
If you no longer require Velero, uninstall it by deleting the Velero instance in the OADP operator page in the OpenShift web console.
After you installed Velero and Container Backup Support and before you can protect cluster-scoped and namespaces-scoped resources, you must run an inventory in the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus user interface so that the Velero instance is detected. For instructions, see Detecting OpenShift cluster resources.
During the inventory operation, the BackupStorageLocation
that connects to the
BaaS MinIO data mover is created automatically.
