Adding a new region
You can add new regions for specific cloud object store account that you create in NetBackup, while creating the account. When you add a region, access is restricted to the specified region. Region is not available for some Cloud object store providers.
To add a region:
- Enter a unique region name, and for Location constraint, enter the location identifier that the cloud provider service uses to access the buckets/containers of the associated region. For a public cloud storage, you need to get the location constraint details from the cloud provider.
For the cloud providers that supports AWS v4 signature, specifying the Location constraint field is mandatory. You can obtain the correct value of the location constraint by using the getBucketLocation API on the concerned bucket. If this API returns location constraint as blank, use 'us-east-1' as the location constraint.
- Enter the service URL. For example:
https://hostname:port_number/service_path - Select the endpoint access style for the cloud service provider. If your cloud service provider additionally supports virtual hosting of URLs, select Virtual Hosted Style, otherwise select Path Style.
- Specify the HTTP and HTTPS ports to use for the region.
- Click Add. The added region appears in the Region table in the Basic properties page.
