Table: CloudPoint operations on the Dell EMC PowerFlex array
Snapshot Manager for Data Center operations | Description |
|---|---|
Discover assets | CloudPoint discovers all the array volumes and snapshots inside the snapshot group flexsnap_snap_group with some metadata. The volumes which have 'CMD' in the attributes and without mapping are not discovered. |
Create snapshot | To create a snapshot, CloudPoint initiates an SDK method with the required snapshot details. The API returns the details of the snapshot. A typical snapshot created by CloudPoint has the following naming convention: NB<unique_21digit_number>. |
Delete snapshot | To delete a snapshot, CloudPoint initiates an SDk method call with the required snapshot details. Then confirms that the snapshot is deleted successfully on the array. |
Restore snapshot | CloudPoint offers the ability to restore the snapshots using a SDK method with the different restore paths. |
Export snapshot | CloudPoint supports export snapshot over the SDC that is mapped on the parent volume. |
Deport snapshot | When a snapshot deport operation is initiated, CloudPoint deletes the SDC mapping created between the host and the volume. |
