storage backup proxy add
Adds the backup proxy and configures the backup proxy settings.
Syntax
[failover-peer] storage backup proxy add <proxy-id> hostname {<proxy-hostname> | <ip-address>} type {vmware_esxi | windows_server} username <name> password <password> storage_group <storage-group>
Parameters
failover-peer | Performs the command on the failover peer of the current appliance. If the failover peer is unavailable, the changed configuration is automatically applied when the appliance returns to service. You can run failover-peer commands only on a Core appliance in ActiveSolo failover state. |
<proxy-id> | Proxy identifier. |
hostname <proxy-hostname> | Specifies the proxy hostname of the proxy host. |
hostname <ip-address> | Specifies the IP address of the proxy host. |
type vmware_esxi | Specifies the VMware ESXi compute type. |
type windows_server | Specifies the Microsoft Windows Server compute type. |
username <name> | Specifies the username for the backup proxy. |
password <password> | Specifies the password for the proxy user. |
storage_group <storage-group> | Specifies the storage group or initiator group for the backup proxy. |
Usage
The Core integrates with the snapshot capabilities of the storage array. Once the snapshot reaches the data center, the Core triggers the application-consistent snapshot on the supported array and automatically mounts the snapshot to a proxy host. The backup software on the storage array can then perform the backups through the proxy host in the data center.
One backup proxy can be shared among multiple backup policies.
The typical workflow for setting up backup protection follows:
Example
Core_01 (config) # storage backup proxy add sh-240-xxx-proxy hostname sf-shxxx155 type vmware_esxi username centraladmin password mypass storage_group sh-240-xxx-iqn
