Cloud Configuration Files

The latest version of this file is included in NetBackup release updates and is also available for download independently on the Cohesity support site. This file is updated whenever new cloud provider support is needed, independent of NetBackup release updates. This file is cumulative, so the most recent version contains all support added in earlier versions. The column "NetBackup version" indicates the NetBackup Primary Server version that the Cloud Configuration package requires for installation.

For more information on configuring Cloud solutions see "About the cloud storage vendors for NetBackup".

Device Mappings Files

NetBackup uses device mappings files to add new device support, and to enable certain Cloud and OpenStorage functionality. The latest version of these files is included in NetBackup release updates and is also available for download independently on the Cohesity support site. This file is updated whenever new device support is needed independent of NetBackup release updates.

Cohesity recommends downloading and installing the latest device mappings files package:
- Before configuring a cloud solution with the Cloud Configuration Wizard. If your cloud solution is listed in the recent additions below, check to see that the version of device mappings you're running is at that level or later. If you're running an older version, download and install the latest package to permit configuration of the cloud solution.
- Before configuring an OpenStorage storage server for Accelerator or Targeted A.I.R.. If your OST solution is listed in the recent additions below, check to see that the version of device mappings you're running is at that level or later. If you're running an older version, download and install the latest package to permit configuration of the OST functionality.
- Before discovering and configuring devices with the Device Configuration Wizard. If your configuration contains a new device listed in the recent additions below, check to see that the version of the device mappings you're running is at that level or later. If you're running an older version, download and install the latest package to properly configure the device.

The first table below contains links to the current versions of the device mappings file packages, along with a list of support added with current and recent versions.

The second table lists the version of the device mappings file released with NetBackup 11.0 and each subsequent Release Update.

Considerations

Support assumptions
1. For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the "NetBackup 11.x.x Operating System Software Compatibility List".
2. NetBackup-certified cloud regions support is listed in the vendor tables in the Cloud Storage Solutions section of this HCL.
3. NetBackup-certified cloud object storage support is listed in the vendor tables in the Cloud Storage Solutions section of this HCL.

Storage tier considerations
NetBackup does not allow configuring all storage tiers to be protected for Cloud Object store because reading data from some of these tiers is very costly. For example, archival tiers from public cloud providers are meant for write once usage and reading data for backup from these tiers incurs a very high cost. If you still need to protect any of these tiers, please contact Cohesity support to enable backup of such storage tiers.

Configuration considerations
NetBackup is configured to trust a number of well-known public Certificate Authorities (CA) related to Cloud storage. However, there are instances where, for internal purposes, you may need to add your own self-signed CA certificate. For information on adding a self-signed CA certificate, please refer to "Cloud Storage Configuration: How To Add a Self-Signed CA Certificate".

Considerations

Vendor support considerations
1. All storage configurations shown in the tables below were tested with drivers and firmware supported by the storage array vendors. Check with these vendors for minimum driver and firmware levels, specific driver and firmware support, support for the stated Cohesity products, and other functional options.
2. Cohesity supports hardware products listed below that include virtualization capability, but Cohesity does not support compatibility issues that can be attributed to the virtualization feature. Cohesity requires any compatibility issue to be reproduced in a non-virtualization environment. If the issue is confirmed to be related to Cohesity products, Cohesity will support its software at the same level as when that software is not running with hardware virtualization products. Cohesity will cooperate with virtualization vendors, and attempt to assist in the diagnosis of problems found between the virtualization and Cohesity products.
3. Minor ("double-dot") versions of the software listed in the tables below are also supported. (Example: "v5.0" means versions v5.0.1, v5.0.2, etc. are also supported.)

Consistency Group Snapshots
NetBackup Snapshot Manager support consistency group (CG) snapshots for SAN storage arrays wherever CG level snapshot is optimal and applicable. The supported hardware table below mentions whether NetBackup Snapshot Manager performs CG level snapshot for a particular storage array vendor or not.

Storage Array Replication
NetBackup Snapshot Manager can replicate the NAS storage array snapshots that are taken by NetBackup. Refer to the "NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide" for more details about replication.
NetBackup Snapshot Manager can replicate the SAN storage array snapshots that are taken by NetBackup with Standard policies. The supported hardware table below mentions whether NetBackup Snapshot Manager supports Storage Array Replication for a particular storage array vendor or not.

Vendor Change Tracking
Several NAS storage array vendors have a difference engine that identifies the list of changed files and directories between two snapshot copies of the same volume. When Vendor Change Tracking (VCT) is enabled for a D-NAS policy, NetBackup does not perform any file system tracking for backup of NAS volumes. Instead it relies only on the change-list from the difference engine of the storage array to perform backup of files and directories. This process optimizes the backup process.
To use this feature, ensure that the storage that array provides this capability. D-NAS policy supports VCT enabled backups and index operations for Dell EMC PowerScale (Isilon), NetApp, Nutanix Files, and Qumulo NAS arrays. Refer to the "NetBackup NAS Administrator's Guide" for more details.

Considerations and Limitations
Refer to the appropriate storage array plug-in section from Storage array plug-ins chapter in "NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide".

Considerations

Support assumptions
For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the "NetBackup 11.x.x Operating System Software Compatibility List".
1. All OpenStorage Servers are compatible with the NetBackup Data Protection Optimization Option features (Storage Lifecycle Policies, Intelligent Disk Capacity Management and Media Server Load Balancing) and the SAN Client (currently supported only with Solaris SPARC and Linux x64 media servers).
2. Where support is shown for NetBackup 5200 Series or 5300 Series Appliances it means that the OST solution is supported on appliances running versions 3.2 or later, unless noted otherwise.
3. CentOS and Oracle Linux are not supported with OpenStorage, unless noted otherwise.

Vendor support considerations
1. Cohesity and OpenStorage server vendors have mutually agreed to support NetBackup customers with OST solutions. Cohesity and most OST server vendors are members of TSANet.
2. Cohesity qualifies OpenStorage plug-ins for use with NetBackup. The qualified plug-ins are maintained by the party that writes and distributes the plug-ins. Features Cohesity Partners implement behind the OST API, that operate independently and are transparent to NetBackup and the OpenStorage API (for example, replication between storage servers, deduplication on the storage server, deduplication-aware plug-ins, data transport mechanisms between the media server and the storage server), are not specifically qualified by Cohesity. Partner-specific features designed to interoperate in the NetBackup environment as part of the total solution are the maintenance responsibility of the partner. Check the partner's compatibility list to ensure support of the feature with NetBackup and to ensure that your infrastructure (that is, hardware and network) meets the partner's recommended sizing considerations for the feature.
3. Check the device manufacturer's compatibility list to verify the minimum version of Storage Server software required for your Storage Server family member, that the Storage Server software version you are running is compatible with the plug-in version, and that the storage server software version supports the OpenStorage functionality you are running.
4. Minor versions of the plug-ins listed in the tables below are also supported. (Example: Version "2.0" means versions 2.0.1, 2.0.2, etc. are also supported. Version "3" means versions 3.1, 3.2, etc. are also supported.)

Configuration considerations
1. The Data Interface column in the tables below describes the supported data path between the media server running the vendor's OST plug-in and the OST storage server.
2. The NetBackup OpenStorage Optimized Duplication feature takes advantage of the replication capabilities built into many storage servers and cloud solutions by allowing images replicated by the storage servers or cloud solutions to be registered as duplicated copies in the NetBackup catalog. This feature requires at least one NetBackup Media Server with connectivity to both the source storage server or cloud solution and the destination storage server or cloud solution. Optimized Duplication cannot be performed across NetBackup domains.
3. A Logical Storage Unit (LSU) must be configured to only one NetBackup domain. Media servers from more than one NetBackup domain configured to the same LSU is not supported.

Operational considerations
1. Storage Servers that do not automatically increase the size of LSUs may take advantage of the LSU spanning feature. For information about spanning volumes on OpenStorage disk pools, see the NetBackup OpenStorage Solutions Guide for Disk.
2. The NetBackup Accelerator, Accelerator with NDMP, and Accelerator with VMware-type policies features are not supported with spanned LSUs.

Considerations

Support assumptions
For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the "NetBackup 11.x.x Operating System Software Compatibility List".
1. The tables in this section show robotic support only, not tape drive support. Refer to the Tape Drives section of this document to ensure that the specific drive used in the library is supported on the desired OS platform(s). The library vendor must also support the library and drive combination.
2. Firmware versions are not listed in this section. Cohesity recommends using the most recent version of firmware available when you configure the library with NetBackup. When a minimum firmware version is required, it will be listed in the Notes column. If a firmware version is causing a problem, Cohesity will work with the hardware vendor to resolve the problem. Cohesity and most hardware vendors listed are members of TSANet.
3. For ACS robots the "Inquiry String" column is intentionally left blank.
4. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" it also means that Oracle Linux is supported.
5. SAS Tape Libraries are not supported on NetBackup 5x50 and later series appliances.

Configuration considerations
1. Library partitioning is supported unless noted otherwise.
2. Library expansion modules are supported unless noted otherwise.
3. Configuring persistent robotic paths for Linux media servers is supported.
To enable this functionality, you can download a Linux rules file from the Cohesity Support Downloads Center. When the downloaded rules file is installed in the specified directory, NetBackup uses /dev/tape/by-path type paths that persist across SAN interruptions. If this rules file is not present, NetBackup continues to use the /dev/sg type paths.

ACS Robot Type Considerations

Support assumptions
For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the "NetBackup 11.x.x Operating System Software Compatibility List".
1. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" it also means that Oracle Linux is supported.

Vendor support considerations
1. The ACSLS version must be currently supported by Oracle.
2. ACSLS 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 are supported . Earlier ACSLS versions are not supported.
3. The Logical Libraries feature introduced in ACSLS 8.0 is supported with libraries for which both ACS and TLD support is listed.
4. LibAttach is required with Windows media servers. The LibAttach version must be currently supported by Oracle.
5. LibAttach 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 are supported. Earlier LibAttach versions are not supported.

Configuration considerations
1. If a version of ACSLS contains a media type that is not yet supported by NetBackup, that media type can be configured as type UNKNOWN. NetBackup can support one and only one UNKNOWN media type. However, if errors or anomalies occur, upgrading NetBackup to a version where the media type is supported may be necessary. In general, Cohesity testing occurs at the NetBackup version level where the new media type support is added, or at a level where known bugs are addressed.

Considerations

Support assumptions
For details on supported operating systems, please refer to the "NetBackup 11.x.x Operating System Software Compatibility List".
1. To ensure support, a device (both drive and library where applicable) must be supported by Cohesity, the device manufacturer, and the operating system vendor.
2. Firmware versions are not listed in this section. Cohesity recommends using the most recent version of firmware available when you configure the drive with NetBackup. When a minimum firmware version is required, it will be listed in the footnotes. If a firmware version is causing a problem, Cohesity will work with the hardware vendor to resolve the problem.
3. The "ULTRIUM-TD" and the "ULT3580-TD" inquiry strings are interchangeable (both are supported), unless noted otherwise. The "ULTRIUM-HH" and the "ULT3580-HH" inquiry strings are interchangeable (both are supported), unless noted otherwise.
4. SAS Tapes drives are not supported on NetBackup 5x50 and later series appliances.
Vendor support considerations
1. The list of attributes for each tape drive is based on the most recent drive testing. Check with the device manufacturer to determine the firmware version at which support for a specific attribute was added.

Configuration considerations
1. Cohesity recommends the use of SCSI Persistent Reserve (SPR) whenever all the hardware in your device path supports it. Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for more information on SPR and the types of configurations where SPR may be more effective than the default SPC-2 SCSI reserve and release method.
2. Only tape drives listed in the tables below are supported. Other tape drive models are not supported even if the Virtual Tape Library section shows an emulated version of the drive is supported with NetBackup.

OS tape driver considerations
1. Except where noted, Cohesity recommends the use of the operating system's native tape drivers.

Operational considerations
1. Tape Alert functionality is supported by all drives, unless noted otherwise.
2. NetBackup supports LTO-7 Type M media, also known as M8 cartridges (LTO-7 cartridges formatted to a new LTO-8 standard, increasing their native capacity), in the following manner:
- M8 cartridges are supported with LTO-8 tape drives. - M8 cartridges pre-formatted by the media vendor are supported.
- LTO-7 cartridges with an M8 barcode formatted as M8 using hardware vendors' software tools or tape library firmware features (automatic or manual) are supported.
- NetBackup does not have the ability to convert LTO-7 cartridges with an M8 barcode to M8 format.
- For more information on M8 media (for example, formatting methods, supported barcodes, other technical information), please consult the vendor's documentation.
3. Uninitialized LTO-9 media is not supported with NetBackup. LTO-9 media must run a one-time characterization/optimization step to calibrate the tape before it can be used for backup. This process can take from 12 minutes to 2 hours. If a NetBackup job is assigned a brand new, uninitialized LTO-9 tape cartridge, the mount may time out and mark the assigned tape drive down.

To avoid this scenario, you must initialize new LTO-9 cartridges before putting them into a NetBackup volume pool to use for backup.
For more information on LTO-9 media initialization and mitigation solutions, consult the following vendor sites:
"HPE StoreOpen Software Linux and Mac 3.5 User Guide - LTO-9 Media Initialization"
"HPE StoreOpen Software 3.5 for Microsoft Windows User Guide - LTO-9 Media Initialization"
"Oracle StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library - Library Support of LTO9 Tape Calibration"
"Overland Tandberg NEO XL-Series LTO-9 New Media Initialization Technical Brief"

NetBackup Key Management Service (KMS)

The NetBackup Key Management Service (KMS) feature is intended to support any tape drive with built-in hardware encryption capability that conforms to the SCSI T10 encryption standard. Each drive model listed in the following table has been tested in Cohesity labs to verify that it works with NetBackup correctly, so Cohesity recommends using only listed drives with the KMS feature. Refer to the Tape Drives section in this document for the list of platforms and interfaces on which each of the following drives is supported.

Note: KMS is supported on any tape library supported by NetBackup, provided the library vendor supports that library with any of the encryption-capable drives listed in the table below.

External Key Management Services using KMIP

External Key Management Services (EKMS) servers using KMIP are supported with NetBackup 8.3 and later.

If an external KMS system requests a key deactivation date to be specified, ensure this key deactivation date is set beyond the expiration time of the longest backup image.

A deactivated key may be utilized for decryption purposes, however some KMS vendors may completely disable a deactivated key. NetBackup read/restore operations would fail in such circumstances; consult your KMS vendor to help transition the key to a deactivated state prior to facilitating data recovery.

Considerations

Configuration considerations
1. EKMS is supported with AdvancedDisk, Cloud, MSDP, MSDP Direct Cloud Tiering, and Tape storage solutions supported by NetBackup.
2. The EKMS server must be KMIP-based.
3. NetBackup uses Symmetric Key objects stored on the EKMS server for data encryption.
4. The EKMS server must use PEM formatted certificate-based authentication.
5. The NetBackup primary server should be able to establish an outbound connection to the KMIP port on the EKMS server.

1. To use SSO, you must have a SAML 2.0 compliant identity provider configured in your environment.
2. Only one Active Directory (AD) or LDAP domain is supported for each primary server domain. This feature is not available for local domain users.
3. Configuration of the Identity Provider (IDP) requires the NetBackup APIs or the NetBackup command nbidpcmd.
4. API keys are used to authenticate a user or a group and cannot be used with SAML-authenticated users or groups.
5. Global logout is not supported.

NetBackup Client Encryption

NetBackup Client Encryption is compatible with all disk storage units (DSU), tape drives, tape libraries, and virtual tape libraries supported by NetBackup.

Note: Any DSU type supported by NetBackup can be used with client encryption, although encryption prevents deduplication by Media Server Dedupe, OpenStorage devices, or VTLs.

NetBackup Client Encryption is supported on all NetBackup client platforms except OpenVMS, and is not supported with BMR or SAN client.

External Credential Management System

Considerations

Configuration considerations
1. CyberArk deployment supported with Central Credential Provider (CCP).
2. While configuring the external CMS server for example, CyberArk server, user can use the DNS hostname or IPV4 address. However, it is recommended to use the DNS hostname for connecting to the host. CyberArk configuration fails if IPV6 address is used.
3. The ECMS server must use PEM formatted certificate-based authentication.
4. The NetBackup primary server should be able to establish an outbound connection to the ECMS server port on the ECMS server.
5. Supports Microsoft SQL server, MySQL server, PostgreSQL server and Oracle workloads.

Supported Devices

Manufacturer	ECMS server software version	Minimum NetBackup version supported
CyberArk	8.0, 10.2, 12.6	11.0

Considerations

Support assumptions
1. A NetBackup SAN Client supports all HBAs (host bus adapters), unless noted otherwise, and is used in conjunction with a NetBackup Fibre Transport Media Server. The HBA support model for NetBackup SAN Client is an "OPEN" model. All host bus adapters (HBA), switches, bridges, and routers are supported in a SAN environment, unless noted otherwise. This means that if a Fibre Channel component is causing a problem, Cohesity will work with the component vendor in an attempt to resolve the problem, but resolution is not guaranteed. Cohesity and most hardware vendors listed are members of TSANet.
2. SAN Client is not supported over Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) using converged network adapters (CNA).

Vendor support considerations
1. The SAN Client feature is compatible with the Sun SPARC Enterprise M-Series server architecture, but with limited functionality with regard to Fibre Transport Media Server deployment:
- Support is limited to a maximum of one target mode Fibre Channel HBA in an M-Series server.
- Quad-port target mode Fibre Channel HBAs are not supported in an M-Series server.
2. Hitachi Vantara-branded HBAs are not supported with NetBackup SAN Client.
3. When configuring an FT Media Server with an Broadcom/Emulex 16 Gb HBA, disconnect or remove any other 4 Gb HBAs in the server, even if the 4 Gb HBAs are not being used for NetBackup. For more information, see The presence of 4Gb Host Bus Adapter (HBA)s on a Fibre Transport Media Server (FTMS) may cause a system crash
