The following is the access information that you enter for different account types of disk or cloud storage.

Cloud Account

  • Cloud vendor type: The name of the cloud service provider.

  • Credential name: The name of the credential entity.

    Note

    The information needed for cloud account access varies based on the cloud service provider. For example, some cloud service providers provide an access key, and other cloud service providers provide a consumer secret.

    For information about the credentials needed for each cloud service provider, see BROKEN LINK: commvault_essential/common_configurations/storage_targets/cloud_provider_information.

  • Kubernetes API server: The API server URL and port number in the following format:

    To get the URL, run the following command: 

    kubectl cluster-info

    In the following example output, the Kubernetes control plane is running at https://k8s-123-4.your.domain:6443, so you would enter https://k8s-123-4.your.domain:6443 in the Kubernetes API server box. If your control plane is running on port 443, you don't have to include the port number.

    Kubernetes control plane is running at *https://k8s-123-4.your.domain:6443*
