Creating an S3 Vault

You can add an S3 Vault either by using the Commvault API or from the Command Center.

You can add an S3 Vault from the Command Center.

   When creating a plan, configure storage for your vault:

   The S3 Vault package is automatically installed on any MediaAgents in the plan that do not already have it.

Using API

The S3 bucket creation process involves creating an instance of the S3 Vault, which is managed through the CreateCVS3Store API. This API allows you to create an S3 Vault by specifying the necessary details such as the bucket entity, plan entity, endpoints, and owners. The response includes the details of the newly created S3 Vault and any associated jobs for installing the S3 endpoint package on selected clients.
