Configuring a Linux media server as a Cloud Catalyst storage server
The Cloud Catalyst storage server is a dedicated media server for MSDP deduplicated cloud storage.
The media server that is configured as the Cloud Catalyst storage server must be one of the following host types:
NetBackup Cloud Catalyst Appliance
Documentation for the Cloud Catalyst Appliance can be found at the following website:
A Linux media server with specifications similar to the NetBackup Cloud Catalyst Appliance. The following section lists the software and hardware requirements for this media server.
The dedicated media server that will be configured as a Cloud Catalyst storage server should meet or exceed the specifications of the NetBackup Cloud Catalyst Appliance. The requirements for this MSDP media server are greater than the minimum MSDP server requirements:
See About MSDP server requirements.
In addition to the technical requirements that are listed in Table: NetBackup 5240 Appliance technical specifications, the media server must also contain the following:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later.
NetBackup 8.1 or later.
A minimum of 4 TB available for the Cloud Catalyst local cache directory.
The technical specifications for the NetBackup 5240 Appliance are listed in the appendix of the NetBackup 5240 Appliance Product Description. Table: NetBackup 5240 Appliance technical specifications lists a subset of minimum requirements for the media server.
