Managing HCP for Cloud Scale using msdpcldutil tool

MSDP cloud admin tool /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil is used to manage cloud immutable volume.

Set the following environment variables:

export MSDPC_ACCESS_KEY=xxxx 
export MSDPC_SECRET_KEY=yyyy 
export MSDPC_REGION=us-west-2 
export MSDPC_PROVIDER= hitachi-csw
export MSDPC_ENDPOINT=hcpcloudscale.hostname

HCP for Cloud Scale has two types of providers:

  • Hitachi-csw (Hitachi Cloud Scale, WAN)

  • Hitachi-csl (Hitachi Cloud Scale, LAN)

To create the immutable storage and configure it:

  1. Create a cloud immutable volume.

    #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil create -b bucketname -v volumename --mode COMPLIANCE --min 1D --max 30D --live 2021-12-31

  2. List the cloud volumes.

    #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil list

  3. Update the cloud immutable volume min and max retention period.
    • #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil update range -b bucketname -v volumename --min 1D --max 90D

    • # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -updatedv - stype PureDisk -dp disk_pool_name -dv volumename

  4. Update the cloud immutable volume live duration.

    #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil update live -b bucketname -v volumename -l 2022-01-31

  5. List cloud immutable storage cloud providers.

    #/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil platform list
