About Image Sharing using MSDP cloud
Image Sharing lets you use an easy and visualized way to manage and provision images in cloud object storage and even the ability to convert backed up VMs as AWS instances in certain scenarios. Image sharing also supports MSDP cloud.
Before you begin, see the following topics:
Things to consider before you use Image sharing: See About image sharing in cloud using Cloud Catalyst.

Additional information about Image sharing: See About image sharing in cloud using Cloud Catalyst.
After installing NetBackup, you can run the ims_system_config.py script to configure Image sharing.
The path to access the command is: /usr/openv/pdde/pdag/scripts/
Use the following command:
ims_system_config.py -t PureDisk -k <key_id> -s <secret_key> -b <bucket_name> -bs <bucket_sub_name> [-r <bucket_region>] [-p <mount_point>]
Use the following command:
ims_system_config.py -cp 2 -t PureDisk -k <key_id> -s <secret_key> -b <container_name> -bs <bucket_sub_name> [-p <mount_point>]
Use the following command:
# ims_system_config.py -cp 3 -t PureDisk -k <key_id> -s <secret_key> -b <bucket_name> -bs <bucket_sub_name> -pt <cloud_provider_type> -sh <s3_hostname> -sp <s3_http_port> -sps <s3_https_port> -ssl <ssl_usage>
Note:
Do not use nbdevconfig to modify cloud LSU or add new cloud LSU in image sharing server, that might cause an issue in the image sharing server.
If Amazon Glacier or deep Archive is enabled in MSDP cloud, you cannot use Image sharing.
As there is a requirement of free disk spaces by cloud LSU, ensure that you have enough disk space in the default mount point /storage, or you can use -p parameter of ims_system_config.py to specify a different mount point to meet the requirement of free disk spaces.
