To configure NetBackup for AWS Snowball Edge using the CLI

1. Log on to your primary server.
2. To add a custom instance for AWS Snowball Edge device, run:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/csconfig cldinstance -a -in <instance name> -pt amazon -sh <hostname of your snowball server> -http_port_8080 -access_style 2

   Note:

   If configuring NetBackup for AWS Snowball Edge with SSL enabled, use -https_port 8443.

3. Create a custom instance for AWS Snowball Edge, run:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/csconfig cldinstance -ar -in <instance name> -rn <region snowball edge device is imported> -lc <location constraint of the region> -sh <IP address of snowball edge device>

4. Create an alias for the custom instance:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/csconfig cldinstance -as -in <instance name> -sts <storage server name> -lsu_name <name of LSU> -crl 0 -ssl 0

5. Create a configuration file as follows:

   • [root@instancename# cat /add_lsu.txt
     
     V7.5 "operation" "add-lsu-cloud" string
     
     V7.5 "lsuName" "<lsu name used in last step> string
     
     V7.5 "cmsCredName" "<Snowball CMS CredName>" string
     
     V7.5 "lsuCloudBucketName" "<Bucket name on Snowball>" string
     
     V7.5 "lsuCloudBucketSubName" "<Volume name in the bucket>" string
     
     

     Note:

     If you use CMS for cloud authentication, use the CMS credential name in the configuration file instead of "lsuCloudUser" and "lsuCloudPassword". Use the following format:

     V7.5 "cmsCredName" "<Snowball_credential_name>" string

     /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -createdp -dp <disk pool name> -stype PureDisk -dvlist /tmp/dvlist -storage_servers <storage server name>
