Assigning a storage class to Amazon cloud storage

In NetBackup, you can assign a storage class to cloud storage while you configure a new storage server.

To assign a storage class

In the NetBackup Administration Console > Cloud Storage Configuration wizard, select Amazon.
On the Add Storage Server screen, specify the Amazon S3 configuration details such as, service host, storage server name, and access details.
Select the preferred storage class and click Next. Veritas recommends that you do not modify the storage class of a cloud storage server after you have assigned it.
See About Amazon S3 storage classes.
Note:
Prior to NetBackup 8.1.1, in the Advanced Server Configuration screen, the x-amz-storage-class header displayed the Amazon S3 storage classes that NetBackup supports.
Note:
AMZ:STORAGE_CLASS lists the storage class in the storage server properties dialog box.
Configure a new disk pool.
See Configuring a disk pool for cloud storage.
Note:
Veritas recommends that you use different buckets for different storage classes.
Configure a new storage unit by accessing NetBackup Administration Console > NetBackup Management > Storage > Storage Units.
Modify the existing policy or SLP (or create new policy or SLP) to use the new storage unit by accessing the respective user interfaces:
- To access policy, do the following: In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management, and click Policies.
- To access SLP, do the following: In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand NetBackup Management, expand Storage, and click Storage Life Cycle Policies.
