Hitachi SAN plug-in configuration prerequisites

Before you configure the Hitachi SAN plug-in, verify the following:

Ensure that you create a pool named flexsnap_pool on the Hitachi storage array. This is required for the Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-in to work.
Create a snapshot groups on the storage array. For example, group name for HCM REST: flexsnap_snap_group and for PF REST: flexsnap_group_HTIA and flexsnap_group_HTI. If you do not create these snapshot groups, the plug-in automatically creates them during the configuration.
Ensure that the Hitachi storage arrays are registered with Hitachi Configuration Manager (HCM) or PF REST storage environments. Snapshot Manager for Data Center uses the HCM or PF REST APIs to communicate with the storage arrays.
Ensure that the Hitachi storage array has the necessary licenses that are required to perform snapshot operations.
Ensure that the user account that you provide to the Snapshot Manager for Data Center has general read permissions, as well as the permissions to create, delete, export, deport and restore snapshots on the storage array.
For the list of all the supported versions of Hitachi Storage arrays, refer to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center section in the NetBackup Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List (HCL).
