Configure storage units

You can configure all types of storage units for backup in a protection plan.

Note:

All storage types supported in Storage Lifecycle Policy (SLP) are supported for backup jobs.

To configure a storage unit for backup

  1. On the left, click Storage configuration, under the Storage tab.
  2. Click the Storage unit tab and then click + Add to add a storage unit configuration.
  3. Select the storage type from the list and click Start.
  4. Enter the storage unit name in the Name field.
  5. In the Maximum concurrent jobs field, choose the maximum number for the backup jobs.
  6. In the Maximum fragment size field, choose the maximum number for the storage unit fragment size and then click Next.
  7. In Disk pool, select the disk pool you want to use in the storage unit and then click Next.
  8. The On demand only option specifies whether the storage unit is available exclusively on demand. A policy or schedule must be explicitly configured to use this storage unit.
  9. On the Media server tab, select the media servers that you want to use and then click Next. You can have NetBackup select your media server automatically or you can select your media servers manually using the radio buttons.
    • All media servers must of NetBackup version 10.0 or later

    • All media server managing the storage must have access to the selected Kubernetes clusters.

    • Media server must be able to connect with the API server. The port corresponding to the API server must be open for the outbound connection from the media server. The datamover pod must be able to connect to the media server.

  10. Review the setup of the storage unit and then click Save.
