Fujitsu AX/HX plug-in Configuration prerequisites
FQDN/ IP Address: It uses the array GUI access to configure the array in NetBackup. Both IPv4 and IPv6 address types are supported.
Before you configure the Fujitsu AX/HX plug-in, verify the following:
Ensure that the Fujitsu AX/HX storage arrays have the necessary licenses required to perform the snapshot operation.
Ensure that a supported ONTAP version is installed on the Fujitsu AX/HX arrays. NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center supports the following:
The minimum supported ONTAP version for REST is 9.10
The minimum supported ONTAP version for SnapDiff is 9.4 for Fujitsu AX/HX NAS Volume snapshots.
For NAS-based storage deployments, ensure that the Fujitsu AX/HX shares are configured using an active junction path.
Ensure that the Fujitsu AX/HX user account to configure the plug-in has the privileges to perform the following operations on the Fujitsu AX/HX array:
Create snapshot
Delete snapshot
Restore snapshot
Ensure that the Fujitsu AX/HX user account to configure the plug-in is configured with HTTP and ontapi access.
Ensure that the Fujitsu AX/HX user account to configure the plug-in have the following roles assigned:
Default: read-only
LUN: all
Volume snapshot: all
vserver export-policy: all
Ensure that the export policy of the NAS share must not be 'default'. There must be a policy that has the host configuration of either NFS or SMB or both.
