Hello,
Thanks for the post. We have a similar issue where in our case the S3 is in IRELAND and has a different "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com" URL than the standard URL s3.amazonaws.com. I am unable edit\add CloudProvider.xml or cldinstance in csconfig.
Is getting new CloudProvider.xml is the only way to configure new storage server in S3 in Non-US region?
I can't confirm every step to set this up because we don't have buckets in that region, but eu-west-1 is one of the default regions in 7.7.3
If you run (...\bin\admincmd)
csconfig cldinstance -i -pt amazon -at S3
you should see all of the default regions for the "Amazon" instance, which includes Ireland (eu-west-1):
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>csconfig cldinstance -i -pt amazon -at S3 Cloud Instance Name : amazon.com Provider Type : amazon Service API Type : S3 Service Host : s3.amazonaws.com Service Endpoint : <empty> Service HTTP Port : 80 Service HTTPS Port : 443 Service URL Style : Virtual Hosted Style Customizable : No Region Name : US Standard Location Constraint : <empty> Service Host : s3.amazonaws.com Region Name : Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Location Constraint : ap-northeast-1 Service Host : s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com Region Name : Asia Pacific (Singapore) Location Constraint : ap-southeast-1 Service Host : s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com Region Name : Asia Pacific (Sydney) Location Constraint : ap-southeast-2 Service Host : s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com Region Name : EU (Frankfurt) Location Constraint : eu-central-1 Service Host : s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com Region Name : EU (Ireland) Location Constraint : eu-west-1 Service Host : s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com Region Name : South America (Sao Paulo) Location Constraint : sa-east-1 Service Host : s3-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com Region Name : US West (Northern California) Location Constraint : us-west-1 Service Host : s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com Region Name : US West (Oregon) Location Constraint : us-west-2 Service Host : s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com Storage Server : amazon.com Use SSL : DATA Use Proxy : NONE Proxy IP : <NA> Proxy Port : <NA> Credentials Broker : CREDS_PROMPT Successfully fetched Cloud Instance(s)
csconfig (NetBackup Command Reference Guide 7.7)
My understanding is you:
- Configure your Storage Server with your ID Key to service host s3.amazonaws.com
- Through either the Cloud Wizard or "Disk Pools > `right click` New Disk Pool"
- Select your Cloud Store
- Select "Add New Volume"
- Add bucket and region through the drop down (see attachment)
As I said, I can't confirm this, but if you're at 7.7.3 and still can't add the regional bucket, then you may need the CloudProvider.xml

Thanks for the reply. We are at 7.7.2 with RHEL 7.2
Though csconfig cldinstance shows the EU-WEST-1 as one of the default regions, while creating the storage server we get only "s3.amazonaws.com" and "add Cloud storage" button below service host is greyed out.
We are able to telnet "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com" at 443, 80 without an issue from eu-west instances and where as telent to s3.amazonaws.com fails. so, i was looking for a way to make netbackup to establish a connection manually to AWS at "s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com" instead of its default "s3.amazonaws.com"
** Telnet to s3.amazonaws.com is successful only from instances in Americas.

Fleming_kris,
You're almost there. You don't select the region just yet:
- Create the "Service host" as s3.amazonaws.com
- Storage server name amazon.com
- Enter access key ID
- Enter Secret access key
- Select "Next"
- Chose if you want encryption, (you'll need to have already configured KMS)
- If you upgrade to 7.7.3 you'll also have the option for compression in this stage
- Select "Next"
From here NetBackup will attempt to connect to to s3.amazonaws.com. If successful, the next step will look for your buckets. If the key ID you provided has access to the Ireland buckets you created, you may see your buckets here. If they are not an option, then select "Add New Volume", which is where you select your region.
