Adding a cloud storage instance
You may have to add a custom cloud storage instance before you configure a NetBackup cloud storage server. A custom cloud storage allows customization, such as a different service host or other properties. A custom cloud storage instance appears in the Cloud Storage Server Configuration Wizard when you configure a storage server.
The cloud storage provider type determines if you have to add a custom cloud storage instance.
See About the cloud storage vendors for NetBackup.
You can add a custom cloud storage instance as follows:
By using NetBackup Master Server Properties | With this method, you add the cloud storage instance before you configure the storage server in NetBackup. Then, the wizard that configures the storage is populated with the instance details. You select the instance when you configure the storage server. See “To add a cloud storage instance in Cloud Storage host properties”. |
By using the Cloud Storage Server Configuration Wizard | With this method, you add the instance at the same time as when you configure the storage server in NetBackup. The wizard that configures the storage is not populated with the instance details until you add them in the wizard itself. |
