Hitachi SAN plug-in configuration prerequisites
Before you configure the Hitachi SAN plug-in, verify the following:
Ensure that you create a pool named flexsnap_pool on the Hitachi storage array. This is required for the Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-in to work.
Create a snapshot group named flexsnap_default_group on the storage array. If you do not create this snapshot group, the plug-in automatically creates it during the configuration.
Ensure that the Hitachi storage arrays are registered with Hitachi Configuration Manager (HCM). Snapshot Manager for Data Center uses the HCM REST APIs to communicate with the storage arrays.
Ensure that the Hitachi storage array have the necessary licenses that are required to perform snapshot operations.
Ensure that the user account that you provide to the Snapshot Manager for Data Center has general read permissions, as well as the permissions to create, delete, export, deport and restore snapshots on the storage array.
For the list of all the supported versions of Hitachi Storage arrays, refer to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager section in the NetBackup Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List (HCL).
