Creating a Cloud Storage Library

You can create a cloud library from the CommCell Console.

Before You Begin

• Verify Cloud storage support.

  For more information on supported devices, see Supported Cloud Storage Products.

• Purchase your cloud storage account and acquire the access credentials.

  For recommendations on cloud account purchase, see Cloud Storage Building Block Guide.

• Create a credential with the access information that you obtained from the cloud service provider.

  For instructions, see Adding a Credential to Credential Manager.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Storage Resources.

2. Right-click Libraries, point to Add, click Cloud Storage Library, and then click Cloud Storage.

   The Add Cloud Storage dialog box appears.

3. Depending on the Cloud Storage vendor, the options needed in the General tab, may vary. Refer to following pages for vendor specific options.

Result

The new cloud storage library appears in the CommCell Browser under Storage Resources > Libraries and also under Storage Resources > MediaAgents > MediaAgent.

• If the MediaAgent accesses the cloud library using a proxy, you can setup the proxy server information while configuring the cloud storage library. For instructions see Setting up a Proxy Server to Access the Cloud Storage Library.

• If the cloud storage is configured with deduplication, then you can configure to prune the data from the cloud storage as soon as the backup jobs associated with that DDB meets the retention rules without sealing the DDB. For more information, see Configuring Micro Pruning on Cloud Storage.

• By default, data is transferred through secured channels using HTTPS protocol. If you need to use HTTP, just add 'HTTP' to the service host name displayed in the Service Host option during configuration. See Configuring a Cloud Storage Library Using HTTP instead of HTTPS for additional information.
