Configuring the MSDP object store

You can configure MSDP object store on the MSDP build-your-own (BYO) and Flex appliance platform using the NetBackup web UI. See About S3 Interface for MSDP topic in the NetBackup Deduplication Guide to configure MSDP object store on other platforms.

To configure the MSDP object store

  1. Configure an MSDP storage server if required.

    See Create a Media Server Deduplication Pool storage server .

  2. On the left, click Storage > Disk storage.
  3. On the MSDP object store tab, click Add.
  4. Provide the following required information:
    • Select the storage server.

    • Select the certificate authority type. Only NBCA (NetBackup certificate authority) certificate is supported in the web UI.

    • Enter the port number for the MSDP S3 interface. The default port number is 8443.

  5. Click Save and wait for the response.

    S3 interface for MSDP starts and S3 server root user credentials are generated. A screen appears with the root user access key, secret key, and MSDP S3 service endpoint. You must store the keys and endpoint manually.
