Table: General Settings tab options

Option	Description
Provider type	The cloud storage provider. The following describes the state of this field: Active if you add cloud storage from the Cloud Storage host properties. Select the required provider from the list. Inactive if you add cloud storage from the Cloud Storage Server Configuration Wizard or change settings from the Cloud Storage host properties. It shows the host that you selected in the wizard or Cloud Storage host properties.
Service host	Enter the cloud service provider host name. If you want to add a public cloud instance, you need to get the service host details from the cloud storage provider. Type the service host details in the text box. If you want to add a cloud storage instance for a private cloud deployment, enter a service host name like 'service.my-cloud.com', in case you can access your cloud provider using the following URL: 'service.my-cloud.com/services/objectstore' For custom instance, to use IPv6 endpoint, you must update or create a new instance with the IPv6 equivalent service host. Note: Do not prefix the service host name with 'http' or 'https'. Note: For VPC in default (`US East (N. Virginia)`) AWS region, use `external-1.amazonaws.com` as the service host.
Service endpoint	Enter the cloud service provider endpoint. Service endpoint - Enter the cloud service provider endpoint. For example, '/services/objectstorage' in case your cloud provider service can be accessed using the 'service.my-cloud.com/services/objectstore' URL. You can leave it blank, if the cloud provider service can be accessed directly from the 'service.my-cloud.com' URL.
HTTP port	Enter the HTTP port with which you can access the cloud provider service in a non-secure mode.
HTTPS port	Enter the HTTPS port with which you can access the cloud provider service in a secure mode.
Storage server name	Enter a logical name for the cloud storage that you want to configure and access using NetBackup. Note: You can configure multiple storage servers that are associated with the same public or private cloud storage instance.
Endpoint access style	Select the endpoint access style for the cloud service provider. Path Style is the default endpoint access style. If your cloud service provider additionally supports virtual hosting of URLs, select Virtual Hosted Style.

Note:

If your cloud storage deployment is not configured for multiple regions, you do not need to configure any regions.

Table: Region Settings tab

Option	Description
Region name	Enter a logical name to identify a specific region where the cloud storage is deployed. For example: East zone.
Location constraint	Enter the location identifier that the cloud provider service uses for any data transfer operations in the associated region. For a public cloud storage, you need to get the location constraint details from the cloud provider. Note: For VPC in default (`US East (N. Virginia)`) AWS region, use `US-east-1` as the location identifier.
Service host	Enter the service host name for the region. The Service endpoint, HTTP port, and HTTPS port information that you have entered in the General Settings tab are used while accessing information from any region.
Add	Click Add to add the region.
