Configuring AWS IAM Role with NetBackup
Using the AWS Management Console and the NetBackup Administration Console, you can configure AWS IAM Roles with NetBackup.
To configure AWS IAM Role with NetBackup
- Perform the following configurations in the AWS Management Console to use AWS IAM Roles with NetBackup:
Create AWS IAM role.
Attach role to AWS EC2 instance which will be used as a NetBackup media server.
For guidelines refer to the technote.
- Configure the new cloud storage server to use the AWS IAM role. No credential-specific information is required for using the AWS IAM roles.
Use the option 'CREDS_ROLE' for credential broker (-creds_broker) with the csconfig command.
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
Note:
For modifying the existing cloud storage server (alias) to use AWS IAM role for authentication, use only the csconfig command.
