NetApp NAS plug-in configuration notes
NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for volumes set on the storage array. NetBackup extends NAS support to allows you to protect them in NetApp array environment. You can configure CloudPoint to discover data, perform backup, and then restore operations.
The CloudPoint plug-in for NetApp contains functional logic that enables NetBackup to discover the NAS volumes on the NetApp array. Then the plugin triggers snapshot to create, export, deport, and delete operations for those NAS volumes. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.
CloudPoint uses the NMSDK and netapp-ontap python library which internally consumes the NetApp ZAPI and REST API respectively supported by NetApp family to communicate with the NetApp array.
CloudPoint establishes a connection with NetApp array using the NMSDK or netapp-ontap SDK. Then uses the SDK methods to discover the NAS and SAN volumes and its snapshots for backup.
NetApp NFS or SMB volumes in the NAS environment.
NetApp Storage Virtual Machines (SVM) allows NAS clients to access storage using NFS.
SVMs contain data volumes and one or more LIFs through which they serve data to the clients.
SVMs provide file-level data access using NFS and CIFS protocols for NAS clients.
Protocol configured with NetApp SVM are CIFS, and NFS.
