Updating encryption configurations for a cloud LSU

To enable KMS encryption configurations for a Cloud LSU, you can create a configuration file and then run nbdevconfig command.

Configuration file contents for updating encryption configurations are as follows:

Configuration setting

Description

V7.5 "operation" "update-lsu-cloud" string

You can only update the KMS status from disabled to enabled.

V7.5 "lsuName" " " string

Specifies the LSU name.

V7.5 "lsuKmsEnable" "YES" string

Specifies the KMS status for the cloud LSU.

V7.5 "lsuKmsServerName" "" string

Optional value.

KMS server name that is shared among all LSUs.

V7.5 "lsuKmsKeyGroupName" "" string

Optional value.

Key group name that is shared among all LSUs.

Key group name must have valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ (underscore), - (hyphen), : (colon), . (period), and space.

Example to enable KMS status from disabled status to enabled status for cloud LSU "s3amazon":

V7.5 "operation" "update-lsu-cloud" string
V7.5 "lsuName" "s3amazon" string

V7.5 "lsuKmsEnable" "YES" string
V7.5 "lsuKmsServerName" "XXX" string
V7.5 "lsuKmsKeyGroupName" "XXX" string

Note:

All encrypted LSUs in one storage server must use the same keygroupname and kmsservername. If you use the nbdevconfig command to add a new encrypted cloud Logical storage unit (LSU) and an encrypted LSU exists in this MSDP, the keygroupname must be the same as the keygroupname in the previous encrypted LSU.

For more information, See About MSDP Encryption using NetBackup KMS service.

After creating the configuration file, run the following command:

# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -setconfig -storage_server <storage server> -stype PureDisk -configlist <configuration file path>
