InfiniBox NAS plug-in configuration parameters
Before you configure the plug-in, verify the following:
To view all the supported versions of InfiniDat InfiniBox, refer to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager section, in the NetBackup Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List (HCL).
A user account exists which has the permissions to invoke the InfiniBox APIs on the system.
Specify the following details when you configure the InfiniBox array:
Table: InfiniBox NAS plug-in configuration parameters
Snapshot Manager for Data Center configuration parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Plug-in ID | Provide a name for the plug-in. |
IP address | InfiniBox NAS array IP address. |
Username | User account which has permission to perform snapshot operations on the InfiniBox NAS array. |
Password | Password for the user account. |
Do the following to allow NetBackup Snapshot Manager to perform snapshot management operations.
Ensure that the InfiniBox user account has the privileges to perform the following operations on the InfiniBox array:
Create snapshot
Export snapshot
Delete snapshot
Following are the five predefined user roles in InfiniBox:
READ_ONLY: A read-only user can only make queries for information. Users with this role cannot make any changes to the system.
TECHNICIAN: The technician role which has permissions to InfiniBox hardware on the customer premises. The technician role has permissions like the read-only user, with added access rights to hardware-only related API, CLI, and GUI commands.
INFINIDAT: The Infinidat role is specifically for Infinidat level 3 support engineers. This account is used for customer support only. The Infinidat user has the joint permissions of the admin and technician users, with added access to internal commands.
POOL_ADMIN: The pool admin has admin rights for specific pools. Within the pool (or pools), the pool admin can provision data sets, map them to hosts, and take snapshots.
ADMIN: The admin (system administrator) role has permissions to all InfiniBox software functionality. It also includes network administration, provisioning pools and entities, and creating other users.
Note:
User with POOL_ADMIN, ADMIN, or INFINIDAT can perform all the NetBackup Snapshot Manager's snapshot management operations.
Follow the steps to add user permissions to the InfiniBox NAS Active Directory domain:
Log on to the InfiniBox web UI.
Click on the left toolbar and then click the SMB tab.
Click .
In the Join Active Directory Domain window:
Enter the FQDN of the Active Directory domain.
Enter IP address for each domain controller which is used for InfiniBox communication and then, click .
The IP address is added to the controllers box.
Enter the user name and password of an administrator account in the Active Directory domain.
Click to add InfiniBox to the Active Directory domain.
Following considerations and limitations are applicable to the InfiniBox NAS environment:
All snapshots at the file system level are captured and write-protected.
InfiniBox plug-in does not support mixed type NAS protocol.
The limit for a file system name is 65 characters, NFS export name is 255 characters, and SMB share name is 65 characters on the array.
InfiniBox NAS plug-in does not support point-in-time (PIT) rollback restore using snapshots.
NetBackup Snapshot Manager discovers only a snapshot of depth one.
NetBackup Snapshot Manager captures all the network space IPs of NAS service type for the snapshot export operations.
