2. Create a host for the client computer or for the proxy computer and then, do one of the following:

   • Add a host port (WWPN) for Fibre Channel.

   • Add the iSCSI host IQN.

3. If you are using firmware 8.3.X or later, do one of the following:

   • Turn the volume protection feature off.

   • Create a separate child pool for Commvault, turn the volume protection option off at the child pool level, and then, in the Commvault, specify the child pool in the snapshot configuration properties.
