NetBackup cloudstore.conf configuration file

Table: cloudstore.conf configuration file parameters and descriptions describes the cloudstore.conf configuration file parameters.

The cloudstore.conf file is available on the master server and all the media servers that are installed on the platforms that NetBackup cloud supports.

Note:

You must stop the nbcssc service before you modify any of the parameters in the cloudstore.conf file. Once you modify the parameters, restart the nbcssc service.

The cloudstore.conf file resides in the following directories:

UNIX or Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/db/cloud
Windows: install_path\Netbackup\db\cloud

Parameter	Description
CSSC_VERSION	Veritas recommends that you do not modify this value. Specifies the version of `cloudstore.conf` file. The default value is 2.
CSSC_PLUGIN_PATH	Veritas recommends that you do not modify this value. Specifies the path where NetBackup cloud storage plug-ins are installed. The default path is as follows: On Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\ost-plugins On UNIX: /usr/openv/lib/ost-plugins
CSSC_PORT	Specifies the port number for the CloudStore Service Container (nbcssc). The default value is 5637.
CSSC_LOG_DIR	Specifies the directory path where nbcssc generates log files. The default path is as follows: On Windows: install_path\Veritas\NetBackup\logs\nbcssc On UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/nbcssc
CSSC_LOG_FILE	Specifies the file name that the nbcssc service uses to write its logs. The default value is empty, which means that the NetBackup logging mechanism determines the log file name.
CSSC_IS_SECURE	Specifies if the nbcssc service runs in secure (value 64) or non-secure mode (value 0). The default value is 64.
CSSC_CIPHER_LIST	Specifies the cipher list that NetBackup uses for the following purpose: The cloud master host's cipher is used for communicating with the nbcssc service and for communication with the cloud service provider. The media server cipher is used for communicating with the cloud master host's nbcssc service. Veritas recommends that you do not modify this value. However, if you want to customize the cipher list, depending on the purpose, you must modify the cipher list in the `cloudstore.conf` on the master server and the media servers. Note: If the cipher list is invalid, the customized cipher list is replaced by the default cipher list. The default value is AES:!aNULL:@STRENGTH.
CSSC_LOG_LEVEL	Specifies the log level for nbcssc logging. Value 0 indicates that the logging is disabled and non-zero value indicates that the logging is enabled. The default value is 0.

CSSC_MASTER_IS_SECURE	Specifies if the nbcssc service is running in secure (value 64) or non-secure mode (value 0) on the NetBackup master server. The default value is 64.
CSSC_LEGACY_AUTH_ENABLED	Specifies if the nbcssc service has the legacy authentication enabled (value 1) or disabled (0). The default value is 0. Note: Starting from NetBackup 8.1, the CSSC_LEGACY_AUTH_ENABLED option is deprecated. To communicate with legacy media servers, use the Enable insecure communication with 8.0 and earlier hosts option on the NetBackup master server. The option is available in the NetBackup Administration Console on the Security Management > Global Security Settings > Secure Communication tab.
