You can perform the following CloudPoint operations supported on the Pure Storage FlashBlade models:

Table: CloudPoint operations on the Pure Storage FlashBlade array

CloudPoint operations	Description
Discover assets	CloudPoint discovers all the Pure Storage FlashBlade share paths and its snapshots.
Create snapshot	To create a snapshot, CloudPoint triggers the SDK method with the required snapshot name and details. The API returns with the snapshot details. A snapshot is created with the following naming convention: NB <unique_21digit_number>.
Delete snapshot	To delete a snapshot, CloudPoint triggers the SDK method with the required snapshot details. Then confirms that the snapshot is deleted on the array.
Restore snapshot	CloudPoint restores the snapshot using the SDK methods with different restore paths.
Export snapshot	When an export snapshot is triggered, a new read-only rule is added to the host in the file system for which the snapshot is created. Before a snapshot is created an export path is generated using the VLAN interface available on the array. Then the path is shared with Netbackup for mounting.
Deport snapshot	When a snapshot deport operation is triggered, CloudPoint deletes the NFS export rule created for the host.
