Supported CloudPoint operations on Pure Storage FlashArray models
You can perform the following CloudPoint operations on supported Pure Storage FlashArray models:
Discover and list all volumes.
Create a clone snapshot of a volume.
Note:
A snapshot name comprises of "Diskname+ snapshotname". Snapshot suffix must be between 1 through 63 characters in length and can be alphanumeric. The snapshot name must begin and end with a letter or number. The suffix must include at least one letter or '-'.
Delete a clone snapshot.
Restore the original volume from a snapshot. The snapshot overwrites the original volume.
Export a snapshot.
When a snapshot export operation is triggered, CloudPoint creates a new volume from the snapshot and attaches it to the target host using the Fibre Channel (FC) protocol. The target host is assigned read-write privileges on the exported snapshot volume.
Deport a snapshot.
When a snapshot deport operation is triggered, CloudPoint detaches the exported snapshot volume from the target host and then deletes the volume.
The following requirements and limitations are applicable for snapshot export and deport operations in a Pure Storage array environment:
A snapshot cannot be exported multiple times.
An exported snapshot cannot be deleted.
