Adding a cloud storage instance
You may have to add a custom cloud storage instance before you configure a NetBackup cloud storage server. A custom cloud storage allows customization, such as a different service host or other properties.
The cloud storage provider type determines if you have to add a custom cloud storage instance.
See About the cloud storage vendors for NetBackup.
You can add a custom cloud storage instance as follows:
|
In the host properties for the primary server |
With this method, you add the cloud storage instance before you configure the storage server in NetBackup. Then, the wizard that configures the storage is populated with the instance details. You select the instance when you configure the storage server. See “To add a cloud storage instance in the host properties”. |
|
Using NetBackup web UI |
With this method, you add the instance at the same time as when you configure the storage server in NetBackup. The configured storage is not populated with the instance details until you add. |
