Snapshot Manager for Data Center operations

Description

Discover assets

NetBackup discovers all the volumes and their snapshots. Volumes are primary assets; each contains the associated snapshots and asset IDs.

Create snapshot

To create a snapshot (snapOPCPlus), NetBackup initiates a POST API call on the volume. The snapshot volume is created on the same appliance as the source volume.

A typical snapshot created by NetBackup has the following naming convention: NB<unique_21digit_number>

Delete snapshot

Before deleting a snapshot, Snapshot Manager for Data Center performs the following operations:

  • Detach/ snapshot volume from the host (Delete the host connection for that snapshot volume)

  • Delete copy session of it.

NetBackup calls the REST API with the required snapshot details to delete a snapshot. Then confirms that the snapshot is deleted successfully on the array.

Restore snapshot

NetBackup uses the volume snapshot restore API to restore volume snapshots to the point-in-time image on the volume.

Export snapshot

When a snapshot export operation is initiated, NetBackup attaches the snapshot volume to the host. These are the steps for snapshot export:

  1. Fetch initiators on which you want to perform the export.

  2. Based on the port and initiator, retrieve the host ID.

  3. Create a new host LUN to map the snapshot volume.

  4. Map the snapshot volume to the host.

Deport snapshot

During snapshot export, NetBackup deletes the copy session of the source volume, host connection of snapshot volume, and exported snapshot volume. It is a revert of the export snapshot operation.
