About MSDP cloud admin tool

Use the MSDP cloud admin tool msdpcldutil to manage the cloud immutable volume. This tool is located at /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/msdpcldutil. Cloud administrator, who has the required permissions can run this tool. You can run this tool from NetBackup primary server, NetBackup media server, or MSDP storage server on Red Hat Linux operating system.

You can use this tool to perform the following tasks for cloud immutable storage:

  • Create the cloud immutable volume.

  • List the volumes.

  • Update the cloud immutable volume min and max retention period.

  • Update the cloud immutable volume live duration.

  • List cloud immutable storage cloud providers.

  • Switch the retention mode from governance mode to compliance mode.

    The compliance mode is stricter than governance mode. Some users also use governance mode to test retention period settings before creating a compliance mode retention period.
