Veritas NetBackup™ Deduplication Guide

Configuring AIR to use cloud LSU

The following steps describe the tasks that are required to replicate the backup images from one LSU to another in a different NetBackup domain:

  • See Configuring MSDP replication to a different NetBackup domain.

  • Configure a trust relationship with the target NetBackup domain.

    See About trusted master servers for Auto Image Replication.

  • Add an LSU in the remote storage server as a replication target.

    To add a replication target in a different NetBackup domain, you can use NetBackup Web UI or use the command line interface.

  1. Create a configuration file for adding a replication target.

    Configuration file content for adding a replication target:

    Configuration setting

    Description

    V7.5 "operation" " " string

    The value must be "set-replication" for adding a new replication target.

    V7.5 " rephostname" " " string

    Specifies the replication target's host name.

    V7.5 "replogin" " " string

    Specifies the replication target storage server's user name.

    V7.5 "reppasswd" " " string

    Specifies the replication target storage server's password.

    V7.5 "repsourcevolume" " " string

    Specifies the replication source volume name.

    V7.5 "reptargetvolume" " " string

    Specifies the replication target volume name.

    Example:

    [root@sourceserver~]# cat add-replication-local2cloud.txt
    V7.5 "operation" "set-replication" string
    V7.5 "rephostname" "targetserver1.example.com" string
    V7.5 "replogin" "root" string
    V7.5 "reppasswd" "root" string
    V7.5 "repsourcevolume" "PureDiskVolume" string
    V7.5 "reptargetvolume" "s3amamzon1" string
    

    After creating the configuration file, run the nbdevconfig command.

    For example:

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

  2. Run nbdevconfig to update the disk volume.

    For example:

    # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -updatedv -stype PureDisk -dp diskpool1 -media_server sourceserver.example.com

  • Configure a storage lifecycle policy.

    You must create an import SLP in the target domain before you configure an SLP in the source domain.

    See About storage lifecycle policies.

    See About the storage lifecycle policies required for Auto Image Replication.

    See Creating a storage lifecycle policy.

Removing a replication target

Complete the following steps to delete a replication target:

  1. Create a configuration file for deleting a replication target.

    Configuration file content for deleting a replication target:

    Configurtion setting

    Description

    V7.5 "operation" " " string

    The value must be "delete-replication" for deleting a new replication target.

    V7.5 " rephostname" " " string

    Specifies the replication target's host name.

    V7.5 "repsourcevolume" " " string

    Specifies the replication source volume name.

    V7.5 "reptargetvolume" " " string

    Specifies the replication target volume name.

    For example:

    [root@sourceserver~]# cat delete-replication-local2cloud.txt
    V7.5 "operation" "delete-replication" string
    V7.5 "rephostname" "targetserver1.example.com" string
    V7.5 "repsourcevolume" "PureDiskVolume" string
    V7.5 "reptargetvolume" "s3amamzon1" string

    After creating the configuration file, run the nbdevconfig command.

    For example:

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

  2. Run nbdevconfig to update the disk volume.

    For example:

    # /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/nbdevconfig -updatedv -stype PureDisk -dp diskpool1 -media_server sourceserver.example.com
