Configuring a policy using EMC_CLARiiON_Snapview_Clone method
In the Snapshot Options dialog box of the policy, you must specify the following information in the Snapshot Resources pane. NetBackup uses this information to correctly rotate through the clone LUNs when performing a SnapView clone backup. After all clone LUNs have been used in a backup, NetBackup automatically determines which clone is the oldest. NetBackup expires the oldest clone so that it can be reused for the current backup.
To configure a policy using EMC CLARiiON Snapview Clone method
- See Obtaining the device identifier for each source and clone LUN.
Obtain the following source and clone LUN information:
Array serial number (in the EMC Navisphere Web interface, right-click the array name and select Properties).
Unique ID for the source LUN containing the primary data.
Unique ID for the target LUN(s) used for snapshots.
Or see your array administrator.
- Copy and paste (or type) these values into the appropriate field of the NetBackup policy's Add Snapshot Resource dialog box, as explained below.
The policy Backup Selections specify a set of one or more source LUNs for which snapshots are taken for backup. For each source LUN that is specified in the policy Backup Selections list, the procedure is as follows.
