Using media server as NetBackup Cloud master host
You must perform this procedure for all the operating systems those are not supported by NetBackup cloud.
See the NetBackup hardware compatibility list for your release available through the following URL:
http://www.netbackup.com/compatibility
For disaster recovery, you must take a manual backup of the following files from the media server that you have configured as NetBackup cloud master host:
CloudProvider.xmlCloudInstance.xml
To use media server as NetBackup cloud master host
- Identify one of the NetBackup cloud media servers as a cloud master host.
Choose a media server that has same NetBackup master server version. Do not use a media server with different version.
Note:
The media server does not hold the master copy of the
CloudProvider.xmlfile which all the media servers require while configuring the cloud storage and for running operations such as backup, restore, and so on. - Run the following commands on all the NetBackup cloud media servers including the one that is selected as the cloud master host:
nbcssc -t -a NetBackup
nbcssc -s -a NetBackup -m cloud_master_host -f
For information on the command, see Veritas NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
- Ensure that the values of CSSC_PORT and CSSC_IS_SECURE as mentioned in
cloudstore.conffile from cloud master host are copied as CSSC_MASTER_PORT and CSSC_MASTER_IS_SECURE incloudstore.conffile on all other NetBackup cloud media servers.
After you select a cloud master host, do not change the name again to point to another media server. If you need to do so, contact Veritas Technical Support.
For a cloud storage server that uses proxy server , you must update the proxy credentials.
To perform the task using the NetBackup Administrators Console, see See Changing cloud storage host properties.
To perform the task using the commands, run the following:
csconfig cldinstance -us -in instance_name -sts storage_server_name -pxtype proxy_type -pxhost proxy_host -pxport proxy_port -pxautth_type proxy_auth_type -pxtunnel proxytunnel_usage
For information on the command, see Veritas NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
