Post backup procedures if you have used S3 API interface
After backups are imported into the cloud bucket, perform the following steps before restore:
Update the custom instance service host to real endpoint. Also change the HTTP port and region values.
Note:
In case of CloudCatalyst, restart the vxesfd service.
(Exception) You cannot update a custom instance for AWS default regions because they are already used by the default-shipped cloud storage instances of NetBackup. Such regions include AWS China Beijing Region, AWS China Ningxia Region, AWS US-East region), AWS GovCloud-US-West and US-East region. For such regions and NetBackup CloudCatalyst appliance follow these steps. You can also follow these steps if you encounter an error for unique hostname.
Keep the saved storage properties handy.
Remove the storage server. Run the following command:
csconfig cldinstance -rs -in cloud storage instance name -sts storage server name
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
Add a new storage server with the same name, under the default storage instance (amazon.com, amazon.cn, amazongov.com, etc.) or the storage instance corresponding to the bucket region. Run the following command to the find the instance:
csconfig cldinstance -i
Run the following command to add the storage server:
csconfig cldinstance -as -in Cloud Storage Instance name -sts storage server name -obj_size size in bytes
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
Ensure that the object size (for non-CloudCatalyst) is accurate and same as the storage server that is created.
Also ensure that you have configured the SSL settings as per your requirements.
Make sure the SSL setting for storage server as expected. You can verify and update the properties from the dialog box.
See “To change associated cloud storage server host properties”.
[For Amazon Snowball Edge device only] Update credentials for each storage server with the Amazon account credentials. Run the following command:
tpconfig -update -storage_server storage server name -stype storage server type -sts_user_id [user ID] -password password
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
Verify and update the OFFLINE_TRANSFER_MODE storage server property to NONE.
Note:
In case of CloudCatalyst, restart the vxesfd service.
Perform the restore and verify the data.
Activate policies or activate the secondary operation processing in the SLP .
