Storage Manager Service Setup
Setting up your Zmanda Pro Storagemanager service
Pre-requisites
An instance of Self-hosted Zmanda Pro Server running.
Allow TCP Port 9001 on the host machine running the Zmanda Pro Storagemanager Service
NOTE: The Storagemanager service can be run on the same host as that of the Zmanda Pro Server, in case of which, the port does not have to be exposed over the network
The Zmanda Pro Storagemanger Service comes inbuilt with the Zmanda Pro Self-Hosted Deployment Setup Package.
Installing your Zmanda Pro Storagemanager Service
Navigate to your Zmanda Pro Setup Directory where you can find
setup.sh
, the Zmanda Pro Server Installer and run the following command.

Configuring your first Storage Template with Zmanda Pro Storagemanager
Navigate to your Zmanda Pro Setup Directory and find the
server.cfg
file.
NOTE: The setup.sh
populates the RemoteStorage section in the server.cfg file with default values. You may edit the BasePath configuration to point to a specific mount point on your server
Open the file and find the following configurations

Configure the fields as follows [Manual Workflow]

Replace the
RemoteStorage_CustomHeadersXApiToken.0
to the API token which you will find in the storage manager environment file under/var/lib/zmandapro/storagemanager/.env
Replace the
RemoteStorage_CustomHeadersXBasePath.0
to location to the on your host which can server as your SFTP Base Path. All Storage Vaults will be created hereReplace the
RemoteStorage_CustomHeadersXSftpServer.0
to the FQDN you configured during your Zmanda Pro Server Setup(Optional) You may also replace the
RemoteStorage_Description.0
to any desired meaningful description for your Storage Template
NOTE: Multiple Storage Templates can be added to different mount points. You only need to configure your RemoteStorage_
options by incrementing the last value in the configuration.
Example:
RemoteStorage_CustomUrl.1
RemoteStorage_CustomHeadersXApiToken.1
And so on..
For multiple instances of SFTPStorageTemplates, you will have to specify ALL the fields. The - RemoteStorage_RebrandStorage.X=true - RemoteStorage_RemoteAddress.X=$self$ - RemoteStorage_Type.X=custom
fields have to be maintained with the same values
Run your License Activator to apply your configurations
NOTE: Storage template configurations can ONLY be applied on an activated Zmanda Pro server instance. Hence if it's the first time you're configuring, you will need to run the License_Activator
first. Then you may run the activator again to apply your custom configurations. It's important to note that the custom configurations will not be applied in the first run of the License_Activator
Uninstalling your Zmanda Pro Storagemanager Service
The setup.sh
installer script can be used to uninstall the storagemanager service.
However, this will not clear the logs from /var/log/zmandapro/storagemanager
. If you're planning a cleanup of the Zmanda Pro Storagemanager generated files, you might want to clear the logs directory as well as the storagemanager binary from /opt/zmandapro/storagemanager
