Modifying the Access Information

You can modify the access information for an existing cloud storage device. This option is useful to perform the following operations:

Change the credentials
Change the Bucket
Modify the Storage Class

Note

When you modify the storage class, subsequent backups will be performed using the modified information. For example, if you change the Storage Class, the new backups will be written in the new Storage Class.

Procedure

From the CommCell Browser, navigate to Storage Resources | Libraries | <Cloud Storage Library>.
Right-click the Cloud Storage mount path and then click Properties.
Click the Sharing tab.
Highlight the MediaAgent for which you wish to modify the access information from the Controllers list, and then click the Edit button.
