To reconfigure NetBackup to work with S3 in a non-default AWS Region

1. Verify that the backup policies and the SLP targeting the AWS Snowball Edge are deactivated. If not, deactivate them before proceeding with the reconfiguration steps.

   Run the following command to suspend the secondary operation for SLP:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstlutil inactive -lifecycle <slp_name>

2. Navigate in the NetBackup web UI to Hosts > Master servers > <your master server> > Cloud Storage and edit the cloud storage pointing to the Snowball Edge device. Service host should be the S3 endpoint (s3.dualstack.<region ID>.amazonaws.com), HTTP/HTTPS ports should be 80/443, region should be <region ID> with endpoint the same as the service host.
3. If you disabled SSL on your AWS Snowball Edge instance, enable it again.

   You can only enable SSL from the NetBackup Administration Console.

   • Go to Host Properties > Master Servers > <your master server> > Cloud Storage.

   • Click on the cloud storage pointing to the AWS Snowball Edge device.

   • In the table Associated Cloud Storage Servers for, select your storage server name and click Change.

   • Select Use SSL and Data Transfer.

   • Click Save.

4. Go to your Disk pool in the NetBackup web UI and update the Cloud credentials with the credentials of your AWS account.
5. To refresh cloud instance, run:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/csconfig r

6. Up the AWS Snowball Edge volume:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -changestate -stypePureDisk -dp <disk_pool_name> -dv <disk_volume_name> -stateUP

7. Restart the pdde services on the media server:

   • /usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/pdde stop

   • /usr/openv/pdde/pdconfigure/pdde start

8. Run the following and verify Status= UP: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevquery -listdv -stype PureDisk -U -dp <disk_pool_name>
9. Activate backup policies or activate the secondary operation processing in the SLP. Use the following command to activate the secondary operations in the SLP:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbstlutil active -lifecycle <slp_name>

10. Perform the restore and verify the data.
