OpenStack Swift storage region options
Figure: Cloud Storage Server Configuration Wizard panel shows the storage region wizard panel for OpenStack Swift-compliant cloud storage. The panel includes storage region and storage host information.
Provider and access details are used to map the cloud storage settings to NetBackup storage settings. The cloud storage region is mapped to the NetBackup storage server. All the backups that are targeted to the NetBackup storage server use the cloud storage region to which it is mapped.
Note:
One cloud storage region is mapped to one NetBackup storage server.
Table: OpenStack Swift region and host details describes configuration options for OpenStack Swift cloud storage.
Table: OpenStack Swift region and host details
Field name | Description |
|---|---|
Select the cloud storage region. You may use the cloud storage region that is geographically closest to the NetBackup media server that sends the backups to the cloud. Contact your storage administrator for more details. Note: This field is visible only if you selected the Authentication version in the Add Cloud Storage dialog box. See OpenStack Swift add cloud storage configuration options. | |
The cloud storage URL is auto-populated based on the storage region selection. This field is non-editable and is only for your reference. Note: This field is visible only if you selected the Authentication version in the Add Cloud Storage dialog box. See OpenStack Swift add cloud storage configuration options. | |
Enter a unique name for the storage server. Note: Veritas recommends that a storage server name that you add while configuring an OpenStack Swift compatible cloud provider should be a logical name and should not match a physical host name. For example: When you add an Oracle storage server, avoid using names like 'oracle.com' or 'oracle123.com'. These servers may be physical hosts, which can cause failures during cloud storage configuration. Instead, use storage server names like 'oracle1' or 'oracleserver1' and so on. | |
Select a NetBackup media server from the drop-down list. The drop-down list displays only NetBackup 8.1.2 and later media servers. In addition, only the media servers that conform to the requirements for cloud storage appear in the drop-down list. The requirements are described in the following topic: See About the NetBackup media servers for cloud storage. The host that you select queries the storage vendor's network for its capabilities and for the available storage. The media server also becomes a data mover for your backups and restores. |
