Adding a plug-in
Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-ins are software modules that discover your assets in the on-premises or cloud storage array environment. After configuring the Snapshot Manager for Data Center server with the NetBackup primary server, you must configure the Snapshot Manager for Data Center storage array plug-ins to be able to protect your workloads using NetBackup.
You can use NetBackup web UI to configure the storage array plug-ins. The steps to configure different storage array plug-ins are similar; only the configuration parameters differ. See Configuring Snapshot Manager for Data Center storage array plug-ins. for configuration parameters for each storage array plug-in
Note:
After upgrading from Java UI, the discovery statuses of the storage array plug-ins appear blank in the web UI. You can re-initiate the configured plug-in discovery, to view the correct discovery data.
