Installing Backup & Restore on the hosted cluster

From the IBM Fusion hub cluster, install Backup & Restore on the hosted cluster with Fusion Data Foundation as the storage type.

Before you begin

Install IBM Fusion consumer and Fusion Data Foundation storage type.
The label isf.ibm.com/fusion-base is required before you add fusion-backup label.

If a specific storageclass is to be used during Backup & Restore installation, then do the following:

Go to the OpenShift® Console on the Hub cluster.
Note: Changes made in fusion-addon-config ConfigMap is applicable to all Hosted Control Planes deployed on the Hub cluster.
In the IBM Fusion namespace, locate the fusion-addon-config configmap.

Add an entry:

backup-storage-class-name: "NameOfStorageClass"

To provide the custom storage class, update the followings fields:

data:
  clusters: |
    <cluster-name>: |
      "fusion-install-namespace": "ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns"
      "backup-storage-class-name": "<custom-storageclass-name>"

Example YAML:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: fusion-addon-config
  namespace: ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns
data:
  sds-catalog-source-image: <sds-image>
  storage-quota-min-supported-version: "v4.17"
  clusters: |
    cluster1: |
      "fusion-install-namespace": "ibm-spectrum-fusion-ns"
      "backup-storage-class-name": "ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd"
      "backup-restore-spoke-ns": "ibm-backup-restore"
    cluster2: |
      "fusion-install-namespace": "custom-ns"
      "backup-storage-class-name": "ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd"
      "backup-restore-spoke-ns": "ibm-backup-restore"

Note: If the storage class name is not filled, the Backup & Restore installation makes use of the default storage class on the hosted cluster, prioritizing a storage class with a volume snapshot class. The default values are same as that of the hub cluster values.

Procedure

Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform web console of the IBM Fusion hub, and select All clusters.
Go to Infrastructure > Clusters.
The Clusters page is displayed and the Cluster list tab is open by default.
Go through the list of the associated clusters and their details.
You can click the name value link of the cluster to view more information.
In the cluster details page, the Overview tab is open by default.
In the Overview tab page, edit the Labels to include isf.ibm.com/fusion-backup, and click Save.
Use the default storage class that got created as a part of the Data Foundation for Backup & Restore.
Use the Backup & Restore to protect your applications but not the entire cluster.
