Dell EMC PowerFlex plug-in considerations and limitations

The following considerations and limitations are applicable:

  1. This is a software-defined storage, which requires to install the SDC (Storage Data Client) on the host where NetBackup will be configured.

  2. The mapping between the volumes and SDC is completed with the help of the SDC ID in the Snapshot Manager for Data Center.

  3. The WWN (World Wide Name) is considered for mapping. It is developed using the $system_id$volume_id manner because it's not available directly on the array.
