Creating an S3 bucket on Access Appliance for storing deduplicated backup data from NetBackup
To create an S3 bucket on Access Appliance for storing deduplicated backup data from NetBackup
- Log on to the Access Appliance GUI as the master user using the following URL:
https://Access Appliance Management console IP:14161/.You can obtain the Access Appliance Management console IP by logging on to the Veritas Access command-line interface using the su - master command on the Access Appliance cluster.
- Create a storage pool for the S3 buckets.
Click NAS Infrastructure in the GUI navigation on the left.
Select the disks that you want to use for the S3 bucket, and click the Add to Storage Pool button to invoke the wizard for storage pool creation.
Follow the steps in the wizard for creating a new storage pool or adding the disks to an existing pool.
- Click Settings > User Management > Configure Active Directory to configure AD.
Enter the required information, such as the DNS Domain, DNS Name Servers, AD Domain, AD Domain Controller, and the AD Admin and Password.
- Click Settings > S3 Management to configure and enable the S3 server.
Edit the default parameters that are required for the S3 server, such as the storage pool name, underlying S3 bucket layout, and the default size of the bucket.
If you want to enable SSL, See Enabling SSL on Access Appliance.
- Click the button in front of S3 Server Status to start the S3 server.
- Log out from the GUI, and log in again as an AD user.
Click on the Create keys button to generate the access key and the secret key for the Access Appliance S3 bucket.
Save the access key and secret key in a safe location, as Access Appliance does not allow retrieval of keys after initial creation.
Note:
Log in using the domainname\\username format.
- Log out from the GUI, and log in again as the master user.
- Activate the long-term data retention (LTR) policies.
Click Policies > LTR Policy.
Click Activate for the LTR On-Premises policy and provide the storage pool when prompted.
- Provision the NetBackup bucket using the policy.
Under Quick Actions, click Provision Storage. Select S3 Storage for NetBackup and click Next.
Provide the bucket size, underlying layout of the bucket, the access key, and the secret key of the Access Appliance S3 server generated as the AD user in step 6.
- Monitor the progress of the task under Recent Activity.
Make a note of the scale-out file system name that was used for the bucket creation.
- Click File Systems.
For the scale-out file system that is created, ensure that the S3 Bucket column displays Yes to indicate that the S3 bucket is enabled.
You may need to wait for some time for this change to be reflected in the GUI.
