Configuring a Linux media server as a CloudCatalyst storage server
The CloudCatalyst storage server is a dedicated media server for MSDP deduplicated cloud storage.
The media server that is configured as the CloudCatalyst storage server must be one of the following host types:
The dedicated media server that will be configured as a CloudCatalyst storage server should meet or exceed the specifications of the NetBackup 5240 Appliance, configuration G. The requirements for this MSDP media server are greater than the minimum MSDP server requirements:
See About MSDP server requirements.
In addition to the technical requirements that are listed in Table: NetBackup 5240 Appliance technical specifications, the media server must also contain the following:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later.
NetBackup 8.1 or later.
A minimum of 4 TB available for the CloudCatalyst local cache directory.
The technical specifications for the NetBackup 5240 Appliance are listed in the appendix of the NetBackup 5240 Appliance Product Description. Table: NetBackup 5240 Appliance technical specifications lists a subset of minimum requirements for the media server.
