5.21.2. Using OADP virtual machine data protection

Procedure

1. Get the cluster IP of the VMDP download server by running the following command:

   $ oc get svc -n openshift-adp openshift-adp-vmdp-server

   Make a note of the CLUSTER-IP value from the output.

2. Install the VMDP CLI:

   • For Linux VMs, download the VMDP binary and make it executable inside the VM by running the following command:

     $ virtctl ssh <vm_user>@<vm_name> -n <vm_namespace> \
       --command "curl -kLf 'http://<cluster_ip>:80/download/oadp-vmdp_linux_amd64' \
       -o oadp-vmdp_linux_amd64 && chmod +x oadp-vmdp_linux_amd64"

     where:

     <vm_user>

     Specifies the username for the VM. For example, fedora.

     <vm_name>

     Specifies the name of the VM.

     <vm_namespace>

     Specifies the namespace of the VM.

     <cluster_ip>

     Specifies the CLUSTER-IP value of the openshift-adp-vmdp-server service.

   • For Microsoft Windows VMs, access the VM by using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or the VNC console, open PowerShell, and download the VMDP binary by running the following command:

     PS> curl.exe -L -o oadp-vmdp.exe "http://<cluster_ip>:80/download/oadp-vmdp_windows_amd64.exe"

     Replace <cluster_ip> with the CLUSTER-IP value of the openshift-adp-vmdp-server service.
