Veritas Access NetBackup Solutions Guide

To set up multiple SDFS volumes on a NetBackup media server

1. Follow the instructions for setting up the OST connector on each NetBackup media server that uses the OST connector.

   See Use case 1: Backing up deduplicated data (OpenDedup and NetBackup) using the S3 protocol to Veritas Access.

2. Edit the /etc/sdfs/ostconfig.xml and add a new <CONNECTION> tag inside of the <CONNECTIONS> tag for the new volume.

   Add a name that is unique to the <NAME> tag and specify the new volume name in the <LSU_NAME> tag (pool1).

   In the new <CONNECTION> tag, add the port number identified by running the mount command to the <URL> tag (http://localhost:6443/) as shown in the example output.

   [root@host1 ~]# mount | grep opendedupe
   sdfs:/etc/sdfs/S3fs1497346133-volume-cfg.xml:6443 on
   /opendedupe/volumes/S3fs1497346133 type fuse
   (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,allow_other)
   sdfs:/etc/sdfs/S3fs1497258807-volume-cfg.xml:6442 on
   /opendedupe/volumes/pool1 type fuse
   (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,allow_other)

   The following is a complete example of an ostconfig.xml file with two volumes.

   <!-- This is the config file for the OST connector for opendedup and Netbackup -->
   <CONNECTIONS>
   <CONNECTION>
   <!--NAME is the local server name that you will reference within Netbackup -->
   <NAME>
   local
   </NAME>
   <LSU_NAME>
   svol4
   </LSU_NAME>
   <URL>
   http://localhost:6442/
   </URL>
   <!--PASSWD - The password of the volume if one is required for this sdfs volume -->
   <PASSWD>admin</PASSWD>
   <!-
   <SERVER_SHARE_PATH>
   A_SUBDIRECTORY_UNDER_THE_MOUNT_PATH
   </SERVER_SHARE_PATH>

   </CONNECTION>
   <!-- Below is the new volume-->
