Amazon OutPosts

Use the following information to add or modify an Amazon S3 cloud storage library with AWS Outposts Support in the Add / Edit Cloud Storage (General) dialog box in CommCell Console.

AWS Outposts can be configured using Access & Secret Access Keys or AWS IAM Role Policy authentication methods.

Before You Begin

Review the following requirements:

Verify and ensure that both the CommServe and MediaAgent in which you plan to configure the library, are in Feature Release 11.21, or later. For more information on viewing the feature release version see, Viewing the Service Pack Details for One or More Clients.
Verify that the Commvault packages are deployed on AWS Outposts, see Deploying Commvault to AWS Outposts.

Options

Option	Description	Additional Information
Name	The name of the Cloud library.
Device Name	A unique device name generated by the system when the library is added.
Type	Select Amazon S3 from the list.
MediaAgent	The name of the MediaAgent to which the device is attached. Select a MediaAgent from the list to add to the cloud storage device. The list contains the names of all the MediaAgents configured in the CommCell.	For AWS IAM Role Policy the selected MediaAgent must reside in the EC2 instance and an IAM Role must be associated with the EC2 instance. Make sure to select the specific MediaAgent from the drop-down list during library configuration. (For more information about installing the MediaAgent on the EC2 instance, see MediaAgent Installations.)
Access Information	Add the credentials and other details required to access the cloud storage space.
Authentication	The following authentication methods are supported for configuring a cloud library for AWS Outposts: Access & Secret Access Keys AWS IAM Role Policy
	The IAM Role must have the following actions enabled in the Amazon S3 account:	Sample json file with these actions.
	`"s3-outposts:GetObject" "s3-outposts:PutObject" "s3-outposts:PutObjectTagging" "s3-outposts:ListBucket" "s3-outposts:ListRegionalBuckets" "s3-outposts:DeleteObject" "s3-outposts:GetAccessPoint" "s3-outposts:ListRegionalBuckets" "s3-outposts:ListAccessPoints"`	AWS STS Assume Role Policy For more information on Amazon STS (Security Token Service), see the following pages in AWS documentation: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp.html. AWS STS Assume Role with IAM Role Policy Configure the EC2 IAM role details before configuring the storage library. For instructions, see Configuring EC2 IAM Role Details for STS Assume IAM Role.
Service Host	A valid endpoint for the AWS Outposts region, in the format, outpostID.`s3-outposts.`region.`amazonaws.com`. For example, `op-1f121e54d0a908a0t.s3-outposts.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`.	Multiple hosts can be added in the Service Host field using commas to separate them. For example `servicehost1, servicehost2, servicehost3`. (For local cloud servers with multiple IP addresses, the list of IP addresses can be added. For example, `192.xxx.0.100,192.xxx.0.101, 192.xxx.0.102`. ) Note All the hosts (or IP addresses) in the list must point to the same storage. Adding a host or IP address to a different storage will result in data loss.
Credentials	For Access & Secret Key or AWS STS Assume Role Policy authentication, select a pre-defined credential from the drop-down list. To define a new credential, click Add New, enter the following information: Credential Name: A user-defined name for the credential. Access Key ID: Access key ID for the account. Secret Access Key: Secret access key for the account.	Credentials must not contain blank spaces or other special characters. For instructions about creating a credential, see Adding a Credential to Credential Manager.
Bucket	Click the Detect button to detect an existing bucket.	A bucket with access point on AWS OutPosts must be created manually. Bucket creation might take up to 20 minutes.
Storage Class	AWS Outposts supports only the Outposts storage class by default even when the Standard storage class is selected from the Storage Class list.	The other storage classes in the Storage Class list are not honored.
