Mounting a Universal share accelerator

First, configure the universal share accelerator using the vpfs_accelerator.sh script on the NetBackup client computer using the following:

/usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_accelerator.sh --config --storage-server=<storage server> --engine-host=<hostname> --mode=byo --storage-path=<path>

  • storage-server: The storage server name.

  • engine-host: Engine name of the cluster or the storage server of the standalone server.

  • mode: Accelerator mode, it should be byo.

  • storage-path: List of local storage paths, comma separated with no spaces, and those paths should be pre-created.

Next, mount the Universal share accelerator using the following:

/usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_accelerator.sh --create --share-id=<ID> --cloud-volume=<MSDP cloud disk volume>

  • share-id: The universal share ID that can be found in the section storage configuration and the universal shares tab in the NetBackup web UI.

  • cloud-volume: The cloud volume that is the column Volume in the universal shares tab.
