Create a Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) storage server for image sharing
Use this topic to create a cloud recovery server for image sharing. Refer to the About image sharing using MSDP cloud topic in the NetBackup Deduplication Guide for more information about a cloud recovery server.
To configure cloud recovery server:
- On the left, click Storage > Disk storage. Click the Storage servers tab, then click Add.
- In the Storage type drop-down, select the option you want to use.
- Select Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) for image sharing from the list.
- 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 to use, use the search option.
- 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 server. In the cloud recovery host, you must not configure KMS encryption when you set up a storage server. The KMS options from the on-premises side are selected and configured automatically in the cloud recovery host.
- (Optional) In Media servers, click Next. As the cloud recovery server is an all-in-one NetBackup server, no additional media servers are added.
- On the Review page, confirm that all options are correct and click Save.
If the MSDP with the image sharing creation is unsuccessful, follow the prompts on the screen to correct the issue.
- At the top, click on Create disk pool.
You can also create a disk pool as follows:
On the left, click Disk storage. Click the Disk pools tab, then click Add.
- In Disk pool options, enter all the required information and click Next.
Click Change to select a storage server.
- 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.
The storage class must be same as the storage class that is selected on the on-premises side. If you do not select the correct class, imports or restores may fail later.
- In Replication, click Next to continue without adding any primary server.
- On the Review page, verify that all settings and information are correct. Click Save.
Note:
In an image sharing all-in-one setup, the Add button is not available on the disk pool page if the image sharing server already has an associated disk pool.
