I am trying to backup the Vertica cluster to a S3 like data store (supports S3 protocol) internal to my enterprise network. We have similar credentials (ACCESS KEY and SECRET KEY). Here's how my .ini file looks like
[S3]
s3_backup_path = s3://vertica_backups
s3_backup_file_system_path = []:/vertica/backups
s3_concurrency_backup = 10
s3_concurrency_restore = 10
[Transmission]
hardLinkLocal = True
[Database]
dbName = production
dbUser = dbadmin
dbPromptForPassword = False
[Misc]
snapshotName = fullbak1
restorePointLimit = 3
objectRestoreMode = createOrReplace
passwordFile = pwdfile
enableFreeSpaceCheck = True
Where can I supply my specific endpoint? For instance, my S3 store is available on a.b.c.d:80. I have tried changing s3_backup_path = a.b.c.d:80://wms_vertica_backups but I get the error Error: Error in VBR config: Invalid s3_backup_path. Also, I have the ACCESS KEY and SECRET KEY in ~/.aws/credentials.
After going through more resources I have exported the following ENV variables VBR_BACKUP_STORAGE_ENDPOINT_URL, VBR_BACKUP_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY_ID, VBR_BACKUP_STORAGE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. vbr init throws the error Error: Unable to locate credentials Init FAILED. , I'm guessing it is still trying to connect to the AWS S3 servers. (Now removed credentials from ~/.aws/credentials
I think it's worthy to add that I'm running Vertica Enterprise mode 8.1.1.
For anyone looking for something similar, the question was answered in the Vertica forum here
