Table: CloudPoint operations on the IBM Storwize 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. Volumes with the CMD attributes and without mapping are not discovered |
Create snapshot | To create a snapshot, CloudPoint triggers a Post Rest API method with the required snapshot 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 a Post Rest API method with the required snapshot details. Then confirms that the snapshot is deleted on the array. |
Restore snapshot | CloudPoint restores the snapshot using a Post Rest API method with different restore paths. |
Export snapshot | CloudPoint supports export snapshot over the iSCSI and FC. It uses a REST API to set the LUN path for snapshot. |
Deport snapshot | When a snapshot deport operation is triggered, CloudPoint deletes the export mapping created between the host and the volume. |
