Dell EMC PowerMax and VMax array

The CloudPoint plug-in for Dell EMC PowerMax and VMax enables NetBackup to discover the SAN volumes mounted on PowerMax/VMax and then trigger snapshot create, export, deport, restore and delete operations for those volumes. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.

CloudPoint uses the REST API SDK provided by PowerMax/VMax (PyU4V) to communicate with the PowerMax/ VMax assets. CloudPoint establishes a connection with PowerMax/VMax array by registering itself as a backup application and then uses the API endpoints to discover the SAN volumes and their snapshots that needs to be backed up.
