Hitachi (HDS VSP 5000) plug-in configuration notes

The CloudPoint plug-in for Hitachi (HDS VSP 5000) enables NetBackup to discover the SAN volumes on the Hitachi HDS VSP 5000 array and then trigger snapshot create, export, deport, delete, and restore operations for those exports. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.

CloudPoint uses the REST API SDK hosted on Hitachi Configuration Manager to communicate with the Hitachi storage arrays. CloudPoint establishes a connection with Hitachi storage array by creating sessions in Hitachi Configuration Manager and uses the REST APIs to discover the SAN volumes and their snapshots that need to be backed up.
