About Nirvanix storage requirements and limitations

See the NetBackup Release Notes.
Information about how to configure KMS is available.
See the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
Follow the procedures in that guide to install KMS. Note the following:
KMS requires a Host Master Key passphrase and ID when you create the key
management database. The Key Management Service can create a random
passphrase for you.
KMS requires a Key Protection Key passphrase and ID when you create the
key management database. The Key Management Service can create a random
passphrase for you.
Each Nirvanix child account you use for NetBackup storage requires a key
group. KMS requires a name for each key group. Use the following format for
the key group name:
nirvanix.com:child_account_name
The first child account name is the same as the name you used for the child
account when you set the storage server properties.
See Nirvanix storage server properties"
Unlike other storage types, the key group name does not require the
prefix.
Each key group you create requires a key record. KMS requires a passphrase
when you create the key record. A key record name is optional. If you use a
key record name, you can use any name for the key record name. Symantec
recommends that you use a descriptive name.
The following are the requirements for Nirvanix cloud storage:
