Veritas NetBackup™ Cloud Administrator's Guide

CSSC_VERSION

Veritas recommends that you do not modify this value.

Specifies the version of cloudstore.conf file. The default value is 2.

CSSC_PLUGIN_PATH

Veritas recommends that you do not 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 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 master server fails if the older media servers use a different port.

CSSC_LOG_DIR

Specifies the directory path where csconfig, nbcldutil, and cloud plugins generate log files.

The default path is as follows:

On Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\logs\nbcssc

On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/nbcssc

CSSC_LOG_FILE

This 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.

CSCONFIG_LOG_FILE

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 purpose:

Veritas recommends that you do not modify this value. However, if you want to customize the cipher list, depending on the purpose, you must modify the cipher list in the cloudstore.conf on the master server and the media servers.

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 non-zero value indicates that the logging is enabled.

The default value is 0.

CSSC_MASTER_PORT

This is applicable for media server versions 7.7.x to 8.1.2 only. It is not applicable for NetBackup master and media server versions 8.2 and later.

This parameter value must be set to 5637.

This port is used to provide back-level media server support for older media servers that are configured for cloud storage. Ensure that the older media servers use this port. Communication with the master server fails if the older media servers use a different port.

CSSC_MASTER_NAME

Specifies the NetBackup master 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 that reside at the following location:

CSSC_LEGACY_AUTH_ENABLED

Specifies if the nbcssc service has the legacy authentication enabled (value 1) or disabled (0). The default value is 0.

CSSC_ALLOW_LEGACY_AUTH

Specifies if the master server can communicate with 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 in conjunction with the Enable insecure communication with 8.0 and earlier hosts option available in the NetBackup Administration Console GUI (Security Management > Global Security Settings > Security Communication tab).

The GUI option allows you to enable or disable master 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 master 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 master server continues to work with supported back-level media servers as other storage servers. However, legacy cloud storage media servers that use the older method of communication using hardcoded credentials are blocked altogether, thus increasing the security of your NetBackup environment.
