NetBackup cloudstore.conf configuration file
Table: cloudstore.conf configuration file parameters and descriptions describes the cloudstore.conf configuration file parameters.
The cloudstore.conf file is available on the primary server and all the media servers that are installed on the platforms that NetBackup cloud supports.
Note:
Before you modify any of the parameters in the cloudstore.conf file, you must stop the nbcssc service (on media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 only) and the nbwmc service (on primary server). Once you modify the parameters, restart these services for the changes to take effect.
The cloudstore.conf file resides in the following directories:
UNIX:
/usr/openv/var/global/cloudOn media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2, the path is:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloudWindows:
install_path\NetBackup\var\global\cloudOn media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2, the path is:

Table: cloudstore.conf configuration file parameters and descriptions
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
CSSC_VERSION |
It is not recommended to modify this value. Specifies the version of |
|
CSSC_PLUGIN_PATH |
It is not recommended to modify this value. Specifies the path where NetBackup cloud storage plug-ins are installed. The default path is as follows: On Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\ost-plugins On UNIX: /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins |
|
CSSC_PORT |
This setting is applicable to media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 only. Specifies the port number for the CloudStore Service Container (nbcssc). Specify the value as 5637. This port is used to provide back-level media server support for the older media servers that are configured for cloud storage. Ensure that the older media servers use this port. Communication with the primary server fails if the older media servers use a different port. |
|
CSSC_LOG_DIR |
Specifies the directory path where csconfig, nbcldutil, and cloud plug-ins generate log files. The default path is as follows: On Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\logs\nbcssc On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/nbcssc Note: For media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2, the |
|
CSSC_LOG_FILE |
This setting is applicable only up to NetBackup release 8.1.2. Specifies the file name that the nbcssc service uses to write its logs. The default value is empty, which means that the NetBackup logging mechanism determines the log file name. |
|
|
Specifies the file name that the csconfig utility uses to write its logs. The default value is empty, which means that the NetBackup logging mechanism determines the log file name. |
|
CSSC_IS_SECURE |
Specifies if the nbcssc service runs in secure (value 64) or non-secure mode (value 0). The default value is 64. |
|
CSSC_CIPHER_LIST |
Specifies the cipher list that NetBackup uses for the following purposes:
It is recommended that you do not modify this value. Depending on the purpose for customizing the cipher list, you must modify the cipher list in the Note: If the cipher list is invalid, the customized cipher list is replaced by the default cipher list. The default value is AES:!aNULL:@STRENGTH. |
|
CSSC_LOG_LEVEL |
Specifies the log level for csconfig and nbcldutil CLI utility logging. Value 0 indicates that the logging is disabled and a non-zero value indicates that the logging is enabled. The default value is 0. |
|
CSSC_MASTER_PORT |
This setting is applicable for media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 only. It is not applicable for NetBackup primary and media server versions 8.2 and later. This parameter value must be set to 5637. This port is used to provide back-level support for the older media servers that are configured for cloud storage. Ensure that the older media servers use this port. Communication with the primary server fails if the older media servers use a different port. |
|
CSSC_MASTER_NAME |
Specifies the NetBackup primary server name. This entry indicates that the nbwmc service runs on this host. It processes all cloud provider-specific requests based on the CloudProvider.xml and CloudInstance.xml files. |
|
|
Specifies if the primary server can communicate with the legacy media servers that are configured for cloud storage. Only media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 are supported. The value 1 (default value) indicates that the communication is enabled while the value 0 means that the communication is disabled. Use this parameter with the option available in the NetBackup web UI (). The GUI option lets you enable or disable primary server communication with all back-level legacy media servers. It works as an all or none kind of a setting and is not specific to cloud storage media servers. This parameter provides that additional level of control for the cloud. You can use this setting to enable or disable primary server communication with back-level cloud storage media servers explicitly. For example, if the GUI option is enabled (default value) and this parameter value is set to 0, the NetBackup primary server continues to work with supported back-level media servers as other storage servers. However, any legacy cloud storage media servers that use the older method of communication using hard-coded credentials are blocked altogether, thus increasing the security of your NetBackup environment. Note: This parameter value has no effect if the GUI option is disabled. If you modify this parameter value, you must restart the NetBackup Web Management Console ( |
