Hitachi NAS array
The Hitachi NAS plug-in lets you create, delete, restore, export, and deport snapshots of the following assets on the Hitachi NAS storage arrays:
Hitachi NAS NFS exports in a NAS environment.
Hitachi NAS SMB shares in a NAS environment.
The Hitachi NAS plug-in uses the REST APIs exposed by Hitachi NAS family to communicate with Hitachi NAS array. It uses the latest API version V7 which supports Hitachi NAS platform 13.5 or later arrays. A firmware lower than the version 13.5, cannot protect the assets from NetBackup. The connection is established to the Hitachi NAS array through REST API. Then NetBackup uses the API endpoints to discover the NFS exports, SMB shares, and file system snapshots that need to be backed up.
