Create an S3 compatible storage group that will contain the buckets and objects you want to manage and back up.
Before You Begin
- If you are an MSP and you want your tenant administrators to configure S3 compatible storage, see Managed Service Provider Configuration.
Navigate to Service Catalog
- From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Service catalog.
Choose S3 Compatible Storage
-
On the Object Storage tile, click Configure.
-
Select S3 Compatible.
The File & Object Trial message appears.
-
Click Next.
Access Node
-
You can choose to use either the hosted infrastructure provided by Commvault Cloud or your own configured access nodes for backups.
-
Use hosted infrastructure: Select this option to use the hosted infrastructure provided by Commvault Cloud for backups, and then select the region where the S3 compatible storage data is hosted.
Only the allowed regions where Commvault Cloud access nodes are present are available to select.
-
Use your access nodes for backups: Select this option if you want to use your own configured access nodes. Select an existing access node or configure a new access node for performing backups.
When using your own access nodes, ensure that the Cloud Apps package is installed for object storage operations.
Note
-
If the MSP has configured a workload resource pool in a single region and no access node is configured by the tenant, this step will not appear. Access nodes configured in the workload resource pool are selected automatically.
-
At least one access node with the Cloud Apps package installed must be available for this step to appear.
