Part 2.
In that post I’ll continue discussing how to integrate backup solution based on CloudBoost with ECS.
Part 1 is here.
- We proceed with a share configuration.
- Cloud Storage Profile is the ECS Profile we already created.
- Share creation process takes some time…
- Share is active now.
- Several objects were added.
- Enable remote and ssh access.
- ssh to CB. User “maginatics” and the password we assigned on the previous step have to be used.
# ssh maginatics@10.76.246.10 maginatics@10.76.246.10's password: ____ |___ \ _____ __ __ ____ __) | | ____| \/ |/ ___| / __/ | _| | |\/| | | |_____| | |___| | | | |___ |_____|_| |_|\____| Welcome to the EMC Management Console (3.2.6)
- Check access to ECS.
Some details for a blobstore validate command are here:
maginatics@cb:/mnt/magfs/base$ cd /opt/maginatics/blobstore-cli maginatics@cb:/opt/maginatics/blobstore-cli$ java -jar blobstore-cli.jar --provider s3 --endpoint https://object.ecstestdrive.com --identity 130790262785219969@ecstestdrive.emc.com --credential wIe2HzvgnrEGhassL+iTPv6wggi+5G86YS+5wz3D validate Checking list containers/blobstore credentials ...

- Lets check a performance to get access to our ECS.
Some details for a blobstore benchmark command are here:

- Cloudboost performance can be viewed from the WebUI: https://<CB IP>:4444/client-performance
- Currently I don’t have a NetWorker installed in my lab (will be tested shortly and describe in the next blog post). But I still like to check if backups can be written to CB. Let’s check CB system backups.
Currently I have 63 objects in the CB bucket.
- Navigate to Shares > Manage Share Backups.
- Start backup Now.
- Backup is done.
- Number of objects in the bucket was increased to 67.
- In the next blog post I’ll test NetWorker cloning with CloudBoost. When that is done, you’ll see a folder structure under /mnt/magfs/base. But now it is empty.
