Steps
Log in to the
PowerProtect Data Manager user interface as a user with the
Administrator role.
From the left navigation pane, select
Infrastructure > Asset Sources.
The
Asset Sources window appears.
Click the
NAS tab.
The list of configured NAS assets appears.
Click
Add.
The
Add NAS wizard opens.
For
Source Types, select
Share.
The wizard presents the applicable fields for shares.
Select an existing set of credentials that provide read and write permissions for the share.
Alternatively, you can select
Add Credentials from the drop-down list, provide new credentials, and then click
Save.
NOTE:
While adding CIFS share, ensure that the user name is in the
user@domain format.
Select the applicable share protocol:
NFS or
CIFS.
Type the full URL to the NAS share, including the applicable port number.
Use the correct syntax for the selected protocol. For example:
Table 1. Syntax and port numbers by protocolSyntax and port numbers by protocol
Protocol
Syntax
NFS
<NAS>:/<share-path-and-name>
CIFS
\\<NAS>\<share-path-and-name>
NOTE:
Do not add a forward slash (/) or a backward slash (\) at the end of the path. If you add, it can cause a restore failure.
Adding nested folders as generic shares can cause issues during the restore process.
where
<NAS> can be either the fully qualified domain name or IP address for the NAS. The default port number is 443.
Common port numbers include 139 and 445 for CIFS and 2049 for NFS. Some NAS shares may use different port numbers. Consult the documentation for your NAS to determine the port numbers in use.
PowerProtect Data Manager validates the input and checks whether the destination address is reachable. The check does not verify whether the share is accessible or that the share name is correct.
To add additional shares on the same asset source, click
Add another source.
Additional sources use the same credentials and protocol.
Click
Save.
The NAS appliance appears as an entry in a table on the
Asset Sources window. You can click the magnifying glass icon next to the entry to view more details.
From the left navigation pane, select
Infrastructure > Assets.
The
Assets window appears.
Select the
NAS tab.
