IBM Storwize array

NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for the volumes that are set up on the storage array.

NetBackup extends SAN support to protect the mounted iSCSI/FC volumes that are hosted on an IBM Storwize array environment.

You can configure CloudPoint to discover data, perform backup, and restore operations.

The CloudPoint plug-in for IBM Storwize contains the functional logic that enables NetBackup :

To discover the SAN volumes on the IBM Storwize array
Then triggers the snapshot to create, export, deport, and delete the operations for the exports.

Note:

You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.

CloudPoint uses the REST API supported by IBM Storwize family to communicate with the IBM Storwize assets.
Using SDK exposed RestClient library CloudPoint establishes a connection with IBM Storwize
Then uses the SDK methods to discover the SAN volumes and its' snapshots that needs to be backed up.
