Prerequisites for deploying REST APIs

Before deploying NetVault REST APIs, verify that your environment complies with the following prerequisites:

•
The server has Internet access, which is required for accessing dependency node modules.]
•
The server has Node.js version 12 or later installed.

Deploying REST APIs

For a video demonstration of deploying REST APIs, see https://support.quest.com/netvault/kb/321335/video-demonstration-of-rest-apis-for-netvault.

To deploy the REST APIs, on a Windows server or a Linux server, complete one of the following procedures.

 
* 
NOTE: When deploying on Windows, run the command line as Administrator. When deploying on Linux, execute the commands as root.
To deploy REST APIs on Windows:
1
On the NetVault Server, download and unzip the REST API files.
2
On the NetVault Server, download and install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/.
3
If not already installed, download and install NPM from https://npmjs.com/get-npm.
4
Update config.js (for URL, DB_LOCATION, SERVER_PUBLIC_IP, CLI_PATH) present in the API folder.
5
In the root directory of the drive where you installed Node.js, create a folder named “db” (for example, C:\db).
6
On the command line as Administrator, change to the path that contains the unzipped API files and run the following command:
npm install
7
Start the node server and run the following command:
npm run dev
8
After the server starts, to start using the APIs and view API documentation, open the following Swagger link: http://localhost:3000/v2/api-docs/index.html.
For more information, see https://support.quest.com/netvault/kb/321335/video-demonstration-of-rest-apis-for-netvault.
To deploy REST APIs on Linux:
1
On the NetVault Server, download and unzip the REST API files.
2
On the NetVault Server, download and install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ or from the terminal.
3
If not already installed, download and install NPM according to your Linux distribution.
4
Install Nodemon by running the following command as a superuser on the terminal:
npm install -g nodemon
5
Update config.js (for URL, DB_LOCATION, SERVER_PUBLIC_IP, CLI_PATH) present in the API folder.
6
In the root directory of the drive where Node.js is installed, create a folder named “db” (for example, /usr/db).
7
On the terminal, change to the path containing the unzipped API files and run the following command:
npm install
8
Run the following command:
export PATH=/usr/netvault/util:$PATH
9
Start the node server and run the following command:
npm run dev
10
After the server starts, open one of the following Swagger links to start using the APIs and view API documentation:
•
http://localhost:3000/v2/api-docs/index.html
•

About NetVault Clients

The NetVault Clients are machines that you want to protect using the NetVault solution.

These machines require at least the client version of NetVault and TCP/IP connectivity to the server. You can attach physical and virtual storage devices locally to a client after installing the NetVault SmartClient license on it.

To use a client in a backup or restore operation, you must first add the client to the NetVault Server. A single server and its associated clients form a NetVault Domain. A NetVault Server acts as a client to itself, and you can also add it as a client to other NetVault Servers.
