Update cloud configuration file on the master server immediately after install or upgrade to NetBackup 8.1
Note:
If you use cloud storage in your NetBackup environment, you should update your cloud configuration file on the NetBackup master server immediately after you install or upgrade to NetBackup 8.1.
Veritas continuously adds new cloud support to the cloud configuration files between releases. In fact, new cloud support has been added since the NetBackup 8.1 final build. If you have updated your cloud configuration file since installing NetBackup 8.0, you must update your cloud configuration file because some recently-added cloud providers and enchantments may not be included in the cloud configuration file in the NetBackup 8.1 build. If a cloud provider or related enhancement is not available in the cloud configuration file after upgrading to NetBackup 8.1, related operations will fail.
Immediately after you upgrade to NetBackup 8.1, update to the latest cloud configuration package to take advantage of the most recent cloud provider additions and enhancements. See the following tech notes for more information:

Refer to the following tech note for details of cloud providers and related enhancements that were available in NetBackup 8.0 (deployed using the cloud configuration packages) and are not available in the cloud configuration file that is shipped with NetBackup 8.1:
