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.
See About Amazon S3 storage classes.
See Configuring a storage server for cloud storage.
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.
- Click Advanced Settings and specify the appropriate value for the selected HTTP header. Click the Value column to see the drop-down list and select the value.
- On the Advanced Server Configuration screen, the x-amz-storage-class header shows the Amazon S3 storage classes that NetBackup supports.
Click the Value column to select any of the available storage classes - STANDARD or STANDARD_IA.
Note:
x-amz-storage-class is referred as AMZ:STORAGE_CLASS in the list of storage server properties.
- Click OK.
Note:
Veritas recommends that you do not modify the storage class of a cloud storage server, after you have assigned it.
- 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.
