Create a Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) storage server
Use this procedure to create a Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) storage server. You have the option to create a disk pool (local storage or cloud storage) and storage unit after you create a storage server. The recommendation is that you create the disk pool and storage unit if they do not exist in NetBackup.
To add an MSDP storage server
- Log into the NetBackup web UI.
- On the left, click Storage > Storage configurationand then click Add.
- Select Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) from the list.
- In Basic properties, enter all required information and click Next.
You must select your media server by clicking on the field. If you do not see the media server you want to use, you can use Search to find it.
- In Storage server options, enter all required information and click Next.
If you use Key Management Service (KMS), it must be configured before you can select the KMS option.
- (Optional) In Media servers, click Add to add any additional media servers you want to use.
Click Next after selecting additional media servers or if you want to continue without selecting additional media servers.
- On the Review page, confirm that all options are correct and click Save.
If the MSDP storage server creation is unsuccessful, follow the prompts on the screen to correct the issue.
To configure MSDP to use cloud storage, use the following procedure (drop-down in Volumes step) to select an existing disk pool volume or create a new one.
See Create a disk pool.
- (Optional) At the top, click on Create disk pool.
- (Optional) To create a cloud logical storage unit and disk pool with replication, click on Create disk pool.
Enter the required information to create a disk pool.
In the next tab, select and add the required cloud volume. Select the cloud storage provider and the required details of the storage provider. Enter the credentials to access the cloud storage provider and then define the advanced settings.
Note:
Currently, AWS S3 and Azure storage API types are supported.
Note:
When you enable Server-Side Encryption, you can configure AWS Customer-Managed keys. These keys cannot be deleted once they are in use by NetBackup. Each object is encrypted with the key during upload and deleting the key from AWS causes NetBackup restore failures.
Note:
NetBackup Recovery Vault supports multiple options such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon. Contact your Veritas NetBackup account manager for credentials or with any questions about the available options.
For more information on environments and deployment, refer to Recovery Vault for NetBackup.
