Dell EMC Unity array plug-in configuration parameters
The following parameters are required when you configure the Dell EMC Unity array plug-in:
Table: Dell EMC Unity array plug-in configuration parameters
NetBackup configuration parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Array IP address | Array IP address that you want to be protected. Both, IPV6 and IPV4 settings are supported. |
Username | A user account name that has permissions to perform snapshot operations on the EMC Unity array Ensure that the specified user account has permissions to create, delete, and restore snapshots on the array |
Password | The password of the EMC Unity array user account specified earlier. |
The following screen is displayed when you configure the plug-in using the NetBackup administration console:
Dell EMC Unity plug-in considerations and limitations
The array does not support share level snapshots. So the snapshots are created at a file level and they have a 1:1 mapping with each other.
For every backup operation triggered on NetBackup a new share of the type snapshot will be created on the array and this will be automatically cleared once the Deport operation (Expire) is triggered.
