Dell EMC PowerScale (Isilon) plug-in configuration notes
Veritas NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for shares that are set up on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) storage host. NetBackup extends the NAS support and allows you to protect NFS exports that are hosted in a Dell EMC PowerScale (Isilon) environment. You can configure CloudPoint to discover and perform backup and restore operations on Network File System (NFS) exports.
The CloudPoint plug-in for Dell EMC PowerScale contains the necessary functional logic that enables NetBackup to discover the NFS exports on the PowerScale (Isilon) and trigger snapshot create, export, deport, snapshot diff (changelist ), and delete operations for the exports. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.
CloudPoint uses the REST API SDK that PowerScale (Isilon) (isilon_sdk_python) provides to communicate with the PowerScale (Isilon) NFS exports and snapshots. CloudPoint establishes a connection with PowerScale (Isilon) by registering itself as a backup application and then uses the API endpoints to discover the NFS exports and their snapshots that need to be backed up.
