Table: OpenStack Swift provider and access details

Field name

Required content

Click the add cloud storage option, then add, select, or enter the required information.

See OpenStack Swift add cloud storage configuration options.

Tenant ID / Tenant Name

Based on the selection, enter either the tenant ID or tenant name that is associated with your cloud storage credentials.

See OpenStack Swift add cloud storage configuration options.

Deduplication

Enabling this option creates a CloudCatalyst storage server that can be used to upload deduplicated data to the cloud.

This option is grayed out if any of the following cases are true:

  • The selected media server does not have NetBackup 8.1 or later installed.

  • CloudCatalyst does not support the media server operating system.

  • CloudCatalyst does not support the cloud vendor.

See the NetBackup compatibility lists for support information:

http://www.netbackup.com/compatibility

For information about CloudCatalyst, see the NetBackup Deduplication Guide

Local cache directory

Enter the mount path to be used as the storage path on the CloudCatalyst storage server.

For example: /space/mnt/esfs

The deduplicated data is written to this local cache directory before it is uploaded to the cloud. The larger the cache, the more likely that NetBackup can service requests locally, avoiding cloud access to read and write.

Notes:

  • This path should be to a file system which is dedicated for CloudCatalyst cache use. Inaccurate cache eviction occurs if the path shares any storage with other data or applications.

  • NetBackup manages the files in the local cache directory. Users should not manually delete files in this directory.
