Deployment Archive Target

dya — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 20:00:37 GMT

I added an NFS server to [Infrastructure] - [Storage] - [File Sharing].

I'm not sure about the following two settings. Could you please explain them?

Second, I can't imagine what exactly "deploy archive" means.

1. Updating an existing backup
2. Default deployment archive target

This is a machine translation, so I apologize if it's difficult to understand.

1. Updating Existing Backups :

This option is only visible when you select "Default Backup Target" in the File Share.
"Default Backup Target" means that this share is from now on the default Target for all new backup configurations/jobs that will be created.
"Updating Existing Backups" means that the existing backup configurations/jobs will be updated to use this share as target (instead of possibly another target that was configured in the jobs).

2. Default Deployment Archive Target:

This is something that is not applicable in HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, but is only used in HPE Morpheus Enterprise. It is used as a repository for PaaS where you can store applications etc.
You can set an File Share as "Default Deployment Archive Target", but it has no function in VME.

Thank you.

Regarding the "Default Deployment Archive Target,"
if it cannot be used with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, I would like it to be hidden from the UI and removed from the documentation.
I think having an unusable function visible in the UI is confusing.
