Creating a cloud recovery host for image sharing

Use this topic to create a cloud recovery host for image sharing. Use the information from the following topics from the NetBackup Deduplication Guide about a cloud recovery host:

About image sharing using MSDP cloud

To configure cloud recovery host:

  1. On the left, click Storage and then click Add. If you deleted a storage server, refresh this page.
  2. Select Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) for image sharing from the list.
  3. In the basic properties, enter all the required information and click Next.

    You must select your media server by clicking on the field. If you do not see the media server you want use, use the search option.

  4. In the storage server options, enter all the required information except for Encryption options and Encryption for local storage and click Next.

    If KMS encryption is enabled for the on-premises side, Key Management Service (KMS) must be configured before you can configure cloud recovery host. Then the KMS options from the on-premises side are checked and configured automatically in the cloud recovery host.

  5. (Optional) In Media servers, click Next. As the cloud recovery host is an all-in-one NetBackup server, no additional media servers are added.
  6. On the Review page, confirm that all options are correct and click Save.

    If the MSDP with image sharing creation is unsuccessful, follow the prompts on the screen to correct the issue.

  7. At the top, click on Create disk pool.

    Another way: On the left, click Storage, click the Disk pools tab, and then click Add.

  8. In Disk pool options, enter all the required information and click Next.

    Click Change to select a storage server.

  9. In Volumes, use the Volume drop down to add a new volume. Enter all the required information based on the selection and click Next.

    The volume name must be same as the volume name that is on the on-premises side or the sub bucket name.

  10. In Replication, click Next to continue without adding any master server.
  11. On the Review page, verify that all settings and information are correct. Click Save.
