Fujitsu AX/HX Series plug-in
NetBackup provides a robust data protection solution for volumes that are set up on the storage array. NetBackup extends REST support for SAN, and NAS volumes and allows you to protect the mounted iSCSI/FC volumes that are hosted on a Fujitsu AX/HX array environment. You can configure NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center to discover volumes and LUNs, to perform backup and restore operations.
The NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center plug-in for Fujitsu AX/HX contains the functional logic that enables NetBackup to discover the SAN, NAS volumes, and LUNs on the Fujitsu AX/HX array. Then initiates snapshot to create, export, deport, and delete operations for those entities. You must configure this plug-in on the NetBackup primary server.
NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center uses the NMSDK and netapp-ontap python library which internally consumes the ZAPI and REST API respectively as the array is NetApp OEM. NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center establishes a connection with the Fujitsu AX/HX array using the NMSDK or netapp-ontap SDK. Then uses the SDK methods to discover the NAS and SAN volumes and the snapshots for backup.
Fujitsu AX/HX Volumes: ONTAP serves data to clients and hosts from the logical containers called FlexVol volumes.
Fujitsu AX/HX NFS or SMB volumes in the NAS environment
Fujitsu AX/HX 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.
Fujitsu AX/HX Logical Unit Number (LUNs) storage units in a SAN environment.
Protocol configured with Fujitsu AX/HX SVM: ISCSI, FC/FCoE, CIFS, NFs
