Change in NetBackup Cloud configuration service

The NetBackup CloudStore Service Container (nbcssc) service is a web-based service that is used for cloud configuration on the media servers that are configured for cloud storage. Starting with NetBackup release 8.2, the nbcssc service is no longer being deployed.

The operations that nbcssc performed are now taken over by two existing NetBackup services. The NetBackup Web Management Console (nbwmc) service now handles the cloud configuration operations and the NetBackup Service Layer (nbsl) service handles the throttling service and the metering data collector service functions.

However, NetBackup does provide support for the older media servers that are configured for cloud storage. Media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 are supported. The older media servers that host the nbcssc service can work seamlessly with a master server that is upgraded to the latest version. The master server uses port 5637 to communicate with the nbcssc service running on older media servers.

This back-level media support sets up a smoother transition path for your existing NetBackup deployment wherein you can plan rolling upgrades for the older media servers without disrupting your existing cloud storage production workflow.
