How to configure the Snapshot Manager cloud plug-ins?
Snapshot Manager plug-ins are software modules that enable the discovery of your assets in the cloud or in an on-premise environment. After registering the Snapshot Manager with the NetBackup primary server, you must configure the Snapshot Manager plug-ins to be able to protect your workloads using NetBackup.
How you configure the plug-ins depends on the asset type and how Snapshot Manager is deployed. If the Snapshot Manager is deployed in the cloud and you want to protect workloads in the cloud, you must use the NetBackup Web UI to register the Snapshot Manager and configure the Snapshot Manager cloud and application plug-ins. The overall steps to configure the plug-ins are similar, regardless of the asset type. Only the configuration parameters vary.
Refer to the NetBackup Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide for information on how to configure cloud plug-ins.
