Configuring and using an MSDP build-your-own (BYO) server for universal shares
Table: Process for configuring and using universal shares with an MSDP build-your-own (BYO) server describes a high-level process for setting up an MSDP build-your-own (BYO) server for Universal Shares. (On an appliance, the universal share feature is ready to use as soon as storage is configured.) See the linked topics for more detailed information.
Table: Process for configuring and using universal shares with an MSDP build-your-own (BYO) server
Step | Description |
|---|---|
1 | Identify a machine. Make sure that the MSDP BYO server complies with prerequisites and hardware requirements. See Build-your-own (BYO) server prerequisites and hardware requirements to configure universal shares.. |
2 | In the NetBackup web UI, create a universal share. See Create a universal share in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide. |
3 | Mount the universal share that was created from the NetBackup web UI. See Mounting a universal share. |
4 | Configure a universal share backup policy. |
5 | Optionally, use the ingest mode to dump data or to load backup data from a workload to the universal share over NFS/CIFS. When ingest mode is turned on, the backup script triggers the universal share to persist all the data from memory to disk on the client side at the end of the backup or the dump. Ingest mode is faster than normal mode as it does not guarantee all the ingest data is persisted to disk until the ingest mode is turn off. |
6 | Restore from a universal share backup. |
