Re: CEPHFS as a disk storage unit

[Andreas Skarmutsos Lindh <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have another idea for you:

In NetBackup (with proper licensing) you can configure something called Cloud Storage Servers. Essentially a storage unit in Rackspace Cloudfiles or Amazon S3. There's an option to change url to the storage server, so you can replace it with the url to your RadosGW.

As long as only the basic features are used by NBU cloud storage (no versioning, expiry etc of objects) this sounds like it would work and be a feasible solution for using your Ceph cluster as backend storage for NetBackup.

You would want to test this and it would be really interesting to hear the results if you do.

Greetings,

I am trying to use CEPH cluster, with erasor encoding, preferrably with CEPHFS as a disk storage unit for Symantec NetBackup.

Problem currently is that Symantec Netbackup Servers packages do not come for ubuntu at all and for CEPHFS, I will need Ubuntu 12.04 (3.8 linux kernal).

Is there any possible configuration in which I would be able to use CEPHFS as backend storage for backup i.e. as a disk storage unit in Symantec netbackup?

Thanks

Anand Sengar
