You can perform the following Snapshot Manager for Data Center operations supported on the Pure Storage FlashBlade models:
Table: CloudPoint operations on the Pure Storage FlashBlade array
Snapshot Manager for Data Center 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. |
