Create a universal share
A universal share offers the ability to ingest data directly into a space efficient SMB (CIFS) or NFS share. Space efficiency is achieved by storing the ingested data directly to an existing NetBackup deduplication pool (MSDP). No NetBackup software needs to be installed on the client that is mounting the share. Any operating system that is running a POSIX-compliant file system and can mount an SMB (CIFS) or NFS network share can write data to a universal share.
For more information about universal shares, see the NetBackup Deduplication Guide
With the NetBackup web UI, you can:
Create, modify, view, and delete universal shares and manage them across NetBackup Appliance, Flex Appliance, Flex Scale, Flex WORM/non-WORM, MSDP AKS/EKS deployment, build-your-own (BYO) and BYO-In-Cloud servers.
Change the quota settings, Active Directory (AD) user and group names, and any target hosts that pertain to the universal share.
Note:
See the NetBackup Deduplication Guide for more information about universal share policies, universal share for cloud LSU limitation, prerequisites, and configuration.
To create a universal share in the NetBackup web UI
- On the left, click Storage > Storage Configuration > Universal Share and then click Add.
If there are no storage servers, then configure an MSDP storage server:
See Create a Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) storage server.
After you create the MSDP storage server, return to Universal Shares tab and click Add to add a universal share.
Provide the following required information:
Enter a Display name. This name is used in the universal share path.
Select the Storage server.
Select the Disk volume.
Click the search icon to get the volume list, and select the disk volume. PureDiskVolume is selected by default.
This option is available only if universal share with object storage in cloud feature is enabled.. For more information, see the NetBackup Deduplication Guide.
Select the Protocol: NSF or SMB (CIFS)
Specify a Host that is allowed to mount the share and then click Add to list. You can use the host name, IP address, short name, or the FQDN to specify the Host. You can enter multiple hosts for each share.
At this point, continue to enter values in the remaining fields or click Save to save the universal share. You can update the remaining fields later from the universal share's details page:
Select a Quota type: Unlimited or Custom. If you select Custom, also specify the quota in MB, GB, or TB units.
The Custom quota value limits the amount of data that is ingested into the share. Quotas are enforced using the front-end terabyte (FETB) calculation method. They are Implemented per share and can be modified at any time. You do not need to remount the share for the change to a take effect.
To update the quote type or value from the universal share's details page, click Edit in the Quota section.
Specify User names (Local or Active Directory) and Group names (Active Directory only). Only the specified users or groups can access the share. You can add and update the User names and Group Names later from the details page of an existing universal share.
Note:
Currently, User names and Group names are supported only for the SMB (CIFS) protocol.
- To view details about a universal share, click its name in the Universal Shares table.
- To delete a universal share, select one or more and click Delete or select Delete from the action menu.
Deleting a universal share also deletes all data in the share. This action is irreversible and may take some time if the amount of data is large. Any active data transfers are immediately terminated, and any mounted shares are immediately removed.
