Hitachi plug-in configuration notes

The CloudPoint plug-in for Hitachi lets you create, delete, export, deport, and restore storage snapshots of a supported Hitachi storage array that is registered with Hitachi Configuration Manager (HCM). The plug-in supports the copy-on-write (COW) snapshot type.

Hitachi plug-in configuration prerequisites

Before you configure the Hitachi plug-in, perform the following steps on the storage system:

  • Ensure that you create a pool named flexsnap_pool on the Hitachi storage array. This is required for the CloudPoint plug-in to work.

  • Create a snapshot group named flexsnap_default_group on the storage array.

    Note:

    This is not a prerequisite. If you do not create this snapshot group, the plug-in automatically creates it during the configuration.

  • Ensure that the Hitachi storage arrays are registered with Hitachi Configuration Manager (HCM). CloudPoint uses the HCM REST APIs to communicate with the storage arrays.

  • Ensure that the Hitachi storage arrays have the necessary licenses that are required to perform snapshot operations.

  • Ensure that the user account that you provide to CloudPoint has general read permissions as well as the permissions to create, delete, export, deport, and restore snapshots on the storage array.
