Update cloud configuration file on the primary server immediately after install or upgrade to NetBackup 11.0.0.1

If you use cloud storage in your NetBackup environment, you may need to update your cloud configuration file on the NetBackup primary server immediately after you install or upgrade to NetBackup 11.0.0.1. If a cloud provider or related enhancement is not available in the cloud configuration file after you upgrade to NetBackup 11.0.0.1, related operations fail.

Cohesity 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 2.13.0.

The following cloud support has been added to version 2.13.1 and later but was not included in the NetBackup 11.0.0.1 final build:

  • HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 (S3)

  • Nutanix Objects S3 object lock (S3)

  • Cloud Object store protection (COSP) Nutanix Objects

  • Amazon (S3) - Mexico (Central) region

  • Oracle Cloud (OCI) Archive tier (S3)

  • DigiBoxx Megh3 (S3)

  • NEC Cloud Storage (St) (S3)

  • Google (S3) - Santiago (southamerica-west1) region

  • Google (S3) - Stockholm (europe-north2) region

  • Renamed Veritas Access to Cohesity Access (S3)

  • Cloud Object store protection (COSP) iTernity iCAS FS

  • Amazon (S3) - Asia Pacific (Malaysia)

  • Amazon (S3) - Asia Pacific (Thailand)

  • FortKnox Amazon (S3) - Mexico (Central)
