Table: CloudPoint operations on Qumulo plug-in

CloudPoint operation

Description

Discover assets

CloudPoint discovers all the Qumulo file system paths and their snapshots along with some of their metadata. Single depth discovery is supported..

For example, if there filesystem directories are [/home, /home/user1, /home/user2, /user1], the discovered filesystem are [/home, /user1].

Create snapshot

To create a snapshot, CloudPoint triggers an SDK method with the required information and snapshot name. The API returns the details of the snapshot.

A typical snapshot created by CloudPoint has the following naming convention:

NB<unique_21digit_number>

Delete snapshot

To delete a snapshot, CloudPoint triggers a SDK method call with the required snapshot details. Then CloudPoint confirms that the snapshot has been deleted successfully on the cluster.

Restore snapshot

CloudPoint does not support this operation.

Export snapshot

When a snapshot export operation is triggered, a new NFS export is created over the same filesystem path on which the backup hosts is added as a client with the read-only permission.

Deport snapshot

When a snapshot deport operation is triggered, CloudPoint deletes the NFS export created over the snapshot path at the time of the export operation.

Create snapshot diff

CloudPoint does not support this operation.
