NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide

Creating and mounting a volume to store data

Before you deploy the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center or NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center extension:

  • You must create and mount a volume of at least 50 GB to store NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center data. The volume must be mounted to /cloudpoint.

  • Ensure that the UUID of the volume and the mount point (/cloudpoint) are mentioned in the /etc/fstab so that the volume is auto-mounted when the host or the extension is restarted.

    Note:

    If you start your instance without this volume attached (for example, after moving the volume to another instance), the nofail mount option enables the instance to start even if errors occur while mounting the volume.
