DESCRIPTION

The csconfig command manages the Cloud Connect configuration settings from a remote or a local computer. The cldinstance option sets and fetches the cloud instance configuration settings.

Using this option, you can add, update, or delete only customized cloud instances and storage servers.

OPTIONS

Parameters for option -a

Use this option to add a new cloud instance.

-access_style access_style_type

Use this option to provide the endpoint access style for the cloud service provider.

Only Amazon S3 supports this option.

Valid values for -access_style_type are as follows:

  • 1 - Virtual Hosted Style

  • 2 - Path Style

    The default value for access_style_type is 2.

-auth_id authentication_identifier

Use this option to provide the identifier for the authentication URL.

Only OpenStack Swift supports this option.

-auth_url authentication_url

Use this option to provide the authentication URL provided by your cloud vendor. The authentication URL is composed of either HTTP or HTTPS and a port number.

Only OpenStack Swift supports this option.

-auth_ver authentication_version

Use this option to provide the authentication version that you want to use.

Only OpenStack Swift supports this option.

-http_port port_no

Use this option to provide the HTTP port with which you can access the cloud provider service in a non-secure mode.

Only Amazon S3 supports this option.

-https_port port_no

Use this option to provide the HTTPS port with which you can access the cloud provider service in a secure mode.

Only Amazon S3 supports this option.

-in instance_name

Use this option to provide the cloud instance name.

-pt provider_type

Use this option to provide the cloud provider type.

When you use this option to add an OpenStack Swift cloud instance, you must first determine if the Authentication Identifier, the Authentication Version, and the Authentication URL are available within NetBackup. You can list this information with the command shown:

csconfig cldprovider -i -pt provider_type

Add the cloud instance with one of the commands shown:

  • If your Provider Type lists an Authentication Version and an Authentication URL under Location Name, you can use the Authentication Identifier in this command:

    csconfig cldinstance -a -in instance_name -pt provider_type -auth_id authentication_identifier

  • If there is no Location Name section under your Provider Type, you must use the cloud vendor provided information. Use the cloud vendor provided Authentication Version value and find the corresponding value under the Credentials Broker Supported section. Use this value and the Authentication URL provided by your cloud vendor in the command shown:

    csconfig cldinstance -a -in instance_name -pt provider_type -auth_ver authentication_version -auth_url authentication_url

-se service_endpoint_path

Use this option to provide the cloud service provider endpoint.

For example, in case your cloud provider service can be accessed using the https://service.my-cloud.com/services/objectstore URL, the cloud service endpoint value is /services/objectstorage.

You can leave the value blank, if the cloud provider service can be accessed directly from the https://service.my-cloud.com URL.

Only Amazon S3 supports this option.

-sh service_host_name

Use this option to provide the cloud service provider host name.

If you want to add a public cloud instance, you need to get the service host details from the cloud storage provider.

If you want to add a cloud storage instance for a private cloud deployment, use the host name that is specified in the URL using which you can access your cloud provider. For example, if the URL is https://service.my-cloud.com/services/objectstore, the host name is service.my-cloud.com.

Do not prefix the service host name with HTTP or HTTPS.

Only Amazon S3 supports this option.

Parameters for option -ar

Only Amazon S3 supports this option.

Use this option to add a region for a specific cloud instance. When you add a region, access is restricted to the specified region.

-in instance_name

Use this option to provide the cloud instance name.

-lc location_constraint

Use this option to provide the location identifier that the cloud provider service uses to access the buckets of the associated region. For a public cloud storage, you need to get the location constraint details from the cloud provider.

-rn region_name

Use this option to provide a logical name to identify a specific region where the cloud storage is deployed.

-sh service_host

Use this option to provide the service host name for the region.

Parameters for option -as

Use this option to add a cloud storage server for the cloud instance.

-agency agency

Use this option to specify the agency name the cloud provider supplied.

Only Amazon S3 supports this option with AmazonGov Cloud.

-cert_file cert_file_name

Use this option to provide the certificate file name.

The files that are mentioned in the parameters should exist on the master server at the following location:

  • On Windows: install_path\netbackup\db\cloud

  • On UNIX: install_path/netbackup/db/cloud

Only Amazon S3 supports this option with AmazonGov Cloud.

-creds_broker creds_broker

Use this option to provide the credential broker details. The creds_broker parameter is optional.

When you do not specify the creds_broker parameter, CREDS_PROMPT is used by default and you do not need to specify the parameters following creds_broker in the given syntax.

If you want to use access key credentials, use CREDS_PROMPT. The Amazon S3 connector directly communicates with the S3 service host using the access keys.

If you want to use the CAP service as your credentials broker, use CREDS_CAP.

Only the AmazonGov Cloud supports the CREDS_CAP option.

If you want to use AWS IAM Role use CREDS_ROLE. Only Amazon S3 and AmazonGov Cloud support the CREDS_ROLE option.

If you want to use AWS IAM Role Anywhere use the CREDS_IAM_ROLE_ANYWHERE value. Only the Amazon S3 and the AmazonGov Cloud support the CREDS_IAM_ROLE_ANYWHERE value.

If you want to use the Azure Service Principal use the CREDS_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL value. Only Azure and AzureGov Cloud support the CREDS_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL value.

The valid values for creds_broker are:

  • CREDS_PROMPT (default value).

  • CREDS_CAP

  • CREDS_ROLE

  • CREDS_IAM_ROLE_ANYWHERE

  • CREDS_SERVICE_PRINCIPAL

-crl

Use this option to verify if the SSL certificate must be checked for revocation before communication is established between NetBackup and cloud storage provider. This option can be enabled only if the SSL option is enabled. All cloud providers that use CA signed SSL certificates support this option. Valid values are:

  • 0 - Disables certificate revocation check

  • 1 - Enable certificate revocation check

-in instance_name

Use this option to provide the cloud instance name.

-key_file private_key_file_name

Use this option to specify the private key file name the cloud provider supplied.

The files that are mentioned in the parameters should exist on the master server at the following location:

  • On Windows: install_path\netbackup\var\global\wmc\cloud

  • On UNIX: install_path/var/global/wmc/cloud

Only Amazon S3 supports this option with AmazonGov Cloud.

-key_pass private_key_passphrase

Use this option to specify the private key pass phrase the cloud provider supplied. It must be 100 or fewer characters.

Only Amazon S3 supports this option with AmazonGov Cloud.

-lc location_constraint

Use the -lc location_constraint parameter for adding a region to a storage server. You can configure multiple regions with one storage server.

Only Amazon S3 supports this option.

Considerations for the -lc location_constraint parameter

  • NetBackup uses with the first region (authentication location) you have specified as location constraint to:

    • Verify the credentials.

    • Get the information of all the buckets.

  • Ensure that the associated cloud instance supports the region.

  • Use an empty set of double quotation marks ("") to provide a blank value.

-mission mission
