NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide

IBM Storwize plug-in considerations and limitations

The following considerations and limitations are applicable:

  • NetBackup disables vDisk protection to perform the Deport and Delete operations on the array. When these operations are initiated, NetBackup reverts to the original state. These operations do not interfere with any existing mapping or I/O operations on the array.

  • NetBackup overrides the standard warnings on the array regarding FlashCopy mappings. The restore is completed with the warnings.

  • The array does not support IPv6 configuration from NetBackup and can only use IPv4/FQDN for all the operations.

  • Do not delete the mappings created between the source volume and target volumes. Without these mappings, the snapshot becomes invalid and NetBackup aborts operations.

  • Do not delete the mappings between the source volumes and the target volumes. NetBackup cannot restore the snapshot without these mappings.

  • Do not interrupt any copying operation of FlashCopy mapping.

  • Do not delete the mapping between the source and target volume in the consistency group snapshot. If you delete any mapping between the source volume and target volume, NetBackup cannot restore that source volume.
