Creating an NFS or SMB Share Using the CvConfigureArchiveStore Utility

You can export the backup data as an NFS or SMB share by using the CvConfigureArchiveStore utility.

You can create the NFS or SMB share from the backup set level or subclient level.

Before you Begin

On the command line, go to software_installation_directory/Base, and then type the following command to set the required Commvault environment variables:

. ../galaxy_vm

Procedure

  • From software_installation_directory/Base type the following command:

    python CvConfigureArchiveStore create -m TDFSSERVER -n NFSCLIENTIP -s SHARE -c ClientName -b backup_set -sc SubclientName [-v 1,2] [--totime TOTIME] [--copyprecedence COPYPRECEDENCE] [--showdeleted 0,1] [--appname APPNAME] [-i INSTANCE] [--browseMA INDEXSERVER] [--enableacl 0,1] [--refreshonbackup 0,1] [-h]

Example

python CvConfigureArchiveStore create -m 3dnfstest.example.com -n 111.11.11.111 -s 3dfsnfsshare -c 3dfsServer_CN_1 -sc etc -v 2 --totime 2016-04-25 02:00:00 --copyprecedence 0 --showdeleted 1 -b fs1 --browseMA index3dfs02 --enableacl 1 --refreshonbackup 0

For information on parameters for creating an NFS Share, see NFS Share Export Parameters.

The following sample output of the export command contains the share ID that is given by the NFS server.

<App_Set3DFSSharePropsResp>
 <errorResp>
  <errorCode>0</errorCode>
 </errorResp>
<shareId>1432</shareId>
</App_Set3DFSSharePropsResp>

  • 0: The export command executed successfully

  • 1: The share name already exists for the given network storage server

  • 2: Refresh on backup share is already configured for the subclient
