HPE XP plug-in configuration parameters
Before configuring the plug-in, make sure to create a pool with the name prefixed withflexsnap_pool on the storage array to store snapshots.
Gather the following information about the HPE XP array. You will need to use these details while configuring the plug-in.
Table: HPE XP plug-in configuration parameters
CloudPoint configuration parameter | Description |
|---|---|
HPE XP Configuration Manager Server IP | IP of the HPE XP Configuration Manager REST server which is configured with the storage array to be used. |
HPE XP Configuration Manager Server Port | Port on which the HPE XP Configuration Manager REST server is hosted. |
Array Username | HPE XP Storage Array user account which have permissions for snapshot operations. |
Array Password | The password associated with the array username. |
Array Storage Device ID | Storage device ID of the array that is already registered with the HPE XP Configuration Manager. |
The following screen is displayed when you configure the plug-in using the NetBackup administration console:
HPE XP plug-in considerations and limitations
CloudPoint uses a snapshot group while creating snapshots, So maximum number of snapshots in CloudPoint for an array is 8192.
The pool created must be large enough to accommodate all the snapshot needs.
