Dell EMC XtremIO SAN plug-in configuration notes

Veritas NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for Volumes that are set up on the storage array. NetBackup extends SAN support and allows you to protect mounted iSCSI/FC volumes that are hosted on a Dell EMC XtremIO SAN array environment. You can configure CloudPoint to discover the volumes and perform backup and restore operations.

The CloudPoint plug-in for Dell EMC XtremIO SAN contains the functional logic that enables NetBackup to discover the SAN volumes on the Dell EMC XtremIO SAN array. Then trigger snapshot create, export, deport, and delete operations for the exports. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.

CloudPoint uses the Rest API's exposed by Dell EMC XtremIO SAN family to communicate with SAN assets. It utilizes the latest API version V3 which is supported by the array after XMS version 6.0.1. Any firmware below XMS 6.0.1 will not be able to protect the volumes from NetBackup. The connection is a basic auth from the user used to configure the array in NetBackup.
