Update cloud configuration file on the primary server immediately after install or upgrade to NetBackup 9.0.0.1
If you use cloud storage in your NetBackup environment, you may need to update your cloud configuration file on the NetBackup master server immediately after you install or upgrade to NetBackup 9.0.0.1. If a cloud provider or related enhancement is not available in the cloud configuration file after you upgrade to NetBackup 9.0.0.1, related operations fail.
Veritas continuously adds new cloud support to the cloud configuration files between releases. Updating your cloud configuration files is necessary only if your cloud storage provider was added to the cloud configuration package after version 2.7.2. The following cloud support has been added to version 2.8.1 and later but was not included in the NetBackup 9.0.0.1 final build:
Amazon (S3) - AP Osaka region
Dell EMC Isilon PowerScale (S3)
Google (S3) - US-West3 (Salt Lake City) region
Google (S3) - US-West4 (Las Vegas) region
IBM (S3) - AP Australia region
IBM (S3) - AP Tokyo region
Seagate - Lyve Cloud (S3)
Tencent Cloud - Cloud Object Storage (COS) (S3)
XSKY Enterprise Object Storage (S3)
