PowerMax eNAS plug-in configuration parameters
Before you configure the plug-in, verify the following:
Ensure that a supported version of the PowerMax eNAS System Management Unit is installed on the PowerMax eNAS array.
To view all the supported versions of PowerMax eNAS, refer to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager section, in the NetBackup Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List (HCL).
A user account exists that has permissions to invoke the PowerMax eNAS XML APIs and all snapshot operations on the array.
Specify the following details when you configure the PowerMax eNAS array:
Table: PowerMax eNAS plug-in configuration parameters
Snapshot Manager for Data Center configuration parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Plug-in ID | Provide a name for the plug-in. |
Proxy/Array IP address | PowerMax eNAS array's management IP address, in either IPv4 or The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). |
Username | PowerMax eNAS user account that has permission to invoke the eNAS XML APIs to perform all snapshot operations on the array. |
Password | Password of the PowerMax eNAS XML API user account. |
The domain user must have privileges on the PowerMax eNAS array, to allow NetBackup to perform the backup of NAS share ACLs.
The following considerations and limitations are applicable in a PowerMax eNAS environment:
All snapshots are captured at the file system level, and the snapshots are in read-only mode.
The following are the character limitations on the array:
Any file system name is 240 characters.
NFS export path maximum length is 1024 characters.
SMB shares name length is 80 characters.
You can enable the Unicode to change the limitations. In case of a snapshot name, the maximum length must be 240 characters.
PowerMax eNAS plug-in does not support point-in-time (PIT) rollback restore of shares using snapshots.
Following are the assets that the PowerMax eNAS array does not discover:
The shares and exports that are created from the snapshot.
The shares that don't have the CIFS server linked.
