NetApp Backup and Recovery enables you to discover and manage your Kubernetes clusters so that you can protect resources hosted by the clusters.

Required NetApp Console role

Organization admin or SnapCenter admin. Learn about NetApp Backup and Recovery access roles. Learn about NetApp Console access roles for all services.

Note To discover Kubernetes clusters, refer to Discover Kubernetes workloads.

Edit Kubernetes cluster information

You can edit a cluster if you need to change its name.

Steps

  1. In NetApp Backup and Recovery, select Inventory > Clusters.

  2. In the list of clusters, choose a cluster you want to edit and select the associated Actions menu.

  3. Select Edit cluster.

  4. Make any required changes to the cluster name. The cluster name needs to match the name that you used with the Helm command during the discovery process.

  5. Select Done.

Remove a Kubernetes cluster

If you no longer need to protect the resources hosted by a Kubernetes cluster, you can remove it from NetApp Backup and Recovery. Removing a cluster does not delete the cluster or its resources; it only removes the cluster from the NetApp Console inventory. Before you can remove a cluster, you need to disable protection and delete the associated applications from NetApp Backup and Recovery.

Steps

  1. In NetApp Backup and Recovery, select Inventory > Clusters.

  2. In the list of clusters, choose a cluster you want to edit and select the associated Actions menu.

  3. Select Remove cluster.

  4. Review the information in the confirmation dialog box, and select Remove.
