1. In the vendor compatibility tables below, the column "NetBackup Version Containing Plug-in" indicates the NetBackup 8.x version at which that cloud storage solution was first supported. 2. Cloud support on Windows platforms requires Windows 2008 R2 or later. 3. (existing) Where support for Ceph storage is shown, it means that vendor's Ceph solution is supported. Other Ceph-based solutions are not supported. 3. Community-distributed Ceph solutions are supported when using the Red Hat string. Since these solutions rely on the community, support for any issues encountered may be delayed or unavailable, depending on the nature of the issue. |
| Configuration considerations | 1. 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"
.
2. NetBackup-provided Cloud connectors are not supported with IPv6, unless noted otherwise. Configuring these plug-ins with IPv6 may result in unpredictable behavior. |

| Vendor support considerations | 1. Veritas and OpenStorage server vendors have mutually agreed to support NetBackup customers with OST solutions.
Veritas and most OST server vendors are members of TSANet.
2. Veritas 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 Veritas 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 Veritas. 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 Veritas 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 Veritas 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. |

1. Virtual tape device software versions are no longer listed in this section. Veritas recommends using the most recent version of software available when you configure the VTL with NetBackup. When a minimum VTL software version is required, it will be listed in a footnote. If a VTL software version is causing a problem, Veritas will work with the hardware vendor to resolve the problem. Veritas and most hardware vendors listed are members of TSAnet. 2. Where support is shown for "Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition" it also means that the other editions of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are supported. Only the x64 (64-bit) editions of the OS are supported as a NetBackup Media Server. Server Core Installation Option is not supported as a NetBackup Media Server. 3. Where support is shown for "Windows Server 2012 Datacenter" it also means that the other editions of Windows Server 2012, Windows Storage Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 are supported. 4. Where support is shown for "Windows Server 2016 Datacenter" it also means that the other editions of Windows Server 2016 and Windows Storage Server 2016 are supported. 5. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 5 and Oracle Linux 5 are supported. 6. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 6 and Oracle Linux 6 are supported. 7. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 7 and Oracle Linux 7 are supported. |
| Vendor support considerations | 1. Check the device manufacturer's compatibility list to verify OS platform support for the version of software running on your VTL.
2. Check the device manufacturer's compatibility list to verify the minimum version of VTL software required for your VTL family member. 3. The list of attributes for each drive emulation is based on the most recent version of Virtual tape device software tested. Check with the device manufacturer to determine when support for a specific attribute was added. |
| Configuration considerations | 1. The virtual library must be configured with the unique VTL inquiry string as listed.
Using the inquiry string to emulate a real library model is not supported even if the real device is supported with NetBackup.
AIX media servers being used for robotic control may use one of the alternate emulated strings listed below.
2. Only the virtual tape drive emulations listed with each virtual library are supported. Other virtual tape drive emulations are not supported even if the real device being emulated is supported with NetBackup. Conversely, a virtual tape drive emulation listed as supported in this section does not mean the physical model is also supported. 3. Veritas 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. 4. NetBackup NDMP Direct Copy with VTL enables NDMP tape duplication to physical tape libraries. For more information on this feature, see "About NDMP DirectCopy" . |
| OS library and tape driver considerations | 1. Refer to the
Tape Drives
section of this document for information on supported tape drivers.
2. On IBM AIX, use of the IBM Atape driver is required with IBM tape libraries. The Atape driver's multi-path feature must be disabled. |
| Operational considerations | 1. Filling up the available disk space on a virtual device may cause unpredictable behavior of the device.
Working with the device vendor may be required to recover from errors that result from a full disk.
2. NetBackup NDMP Direct Copy with VTL Copying virtual media to physical media or a 2nd virtual media is not supported by Veritas; any support for this must come from the VTL vendor providing the capability. If the VTL copies virtual media to physical media (or a 2nd VTL), NetBackup is not aware of the physical media or 2nd virtual media and may not be able to recover that data directly from it. 3. When NetBackup expires a virtual volume, the virtual device is not aware that the data is no longer needed. Because of this, the virtual device may appear to be much closer to capacity than it really is. When NetBackup subsequently begins writing to that virtual volume at the beginning of the volume, the virtual library will then be aware that the rest of the data is no longer needed and can free up the disk space. |
