Roles and privileges on Pure Storage Flash NAS array

To allow NetBackup to perform snapshot management operations, ensure that the Pure Storage Flash NAS array user account you use for plug-in configuration has the following roles and privileges assigned:

  • Discover networks and identify Data Lif IPs or FQDN associated to the array.

  • Discover managed directories, directory exports, and directory snapshots.

  • Create managed directory snapshot

  • Export managed directory snapshot

  • Restore managed directory snapshot

  • Delete managed directory snapshot

There are four predefined user roles in Pure Storage Flash NAS array:

  • readonly - can perform operations that convey the state of the array. These users cannot alter the state of the array.

  • ops_admin - can perform the same operations as the readonly users, and additionally, enable and disable remote assistance sessions. Ops admin users cannot alter the state of the array.

  • storage_admin - can perform storage-related operations, such as administering volumes, hosts, and host groups. Storage admin users cannot perform operations that deal with global and system configurations.

  • array_admin - can perform the same operations as storage_admin users plus array-wide changes dealing with global and system configurations.

Users with the storage_admin and array_admin roles assigned, can perform all the NetBackup snapshot management operations.
