About private clouds from Rackspace

NetBackup supports the private clouds from Rackspaces. When you configure a private cloud in NetBackup, you specify the internal host of the cloud. Two methods exist to specify the internal host, as follows:

Specify the internal host in the Cloud Storage Configuration Wizard

On the select media server panel of the Cloud Storage Configuration Wizard, click Advanced Settings.
On the Advanced Server Configuration dialog box, select Override storage server and enter the name of the host to use as the storage server.

With this method, the Create an account with service provider link on the wizard media server panel has no value for your configuration process.

Specify the internal host in a configuration file

If you specify the name of the internal host in a configuration file, the Cloud Storage Configuration Wizard uses that host as the cloud storage server.

Open the appropriate configuration file, as follows:
- UNIX:
  /usr/openv/java/cloudstorejava.conf
- Windows:
  C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\cloudstorewin.conf
In the section of the file for your cloud provider type, change the value of the following parameter to the internal host:
DEFAULT_STORAGE_SERVER_NAME
Use the fully qualified host name or ensure that your network environment can resolve the host name to an IP address.
If you want the Create an account with service provider link on the wizard panel to open a different Web page, edit the following parameter to use that different URL:
CLOUD_PROVIDER_URL

Note:

To configure a public cloud from your vendor, you must do one of two things: change the configuration file to its original contents or specify the internal host in the Cloud Storage Configuration Wizard.

Before you configure a private cloud in NetBackup, it must be set up and available.
