Configuring snapshots for LUNs
The following steps describe the general process for applying specific snapshot configurations to LUNs through the Core:
1. Select the LUN for the snapshot and access the snapshot settings.
You can access the snapshot settings for a specific LUN in the Configure > Manage: LUNs page. Click the desired LUN to display controls that include the Snapshots tab. The Snapshots tab itself has three tabs: History, Scheduler, and Configuration. For details, see Configuring LUNs.
2. Apply a snapshot schedule policy to the current LUN.
The controls in the Scheduler tab enable you to apply a previously configured policy to the current LUN. You can also create a new schedule directly in this panel. For details, see Applying a snapshot schedule policy to a LUN.
3. Specify the storage array where the LUN resides.
The controls in the Configuration tab enable you to specify the storage array where the current LUN resides and to apply a static name that is prepended on the names of snapshots. For details, see Configuring application-consistent snapshots for a LUN.
4. Specify the client type.
The controls in the Configuration tab enable you to specify the client type. To configure application-consistent snapshots and a proxy backup, you must set this value to VMware or Windows. For details, see Configuring application-consistent snapshots for a LUN.
5. Enable and configure application-consistent snapshots.
In the Configuration tab you can enable and configure application-consistent snapshots. The settings vary depending on which client type is selected. For details, see Configuring application-consistent snapshots for a LUN.
