Snapshot Configuration of the Pure Storage FlashArray Storage Array

The Configuration tab contains snapshot configuration properties that affect the behavior of the storage array in your environment.

Property

Description

Mount Retry Interval (in seconds)

The time (in seconds) after which the next mount operation is attempted.

The default value is 300 (5 minutes).

Mount Retry Count

The number of retry attempts for a mount operation.

The default value is 5.

Connect to a Host Group

When selected, then Commvault searches the array for a host group that matches the source or proxy host.

If Commvault does not find a match, then the map request fails.

Enable Diagnostic Logging

When selected, the REST API diagnostic logging for troubleshooting is used.

Use Host if Host Group is not available

If you select both this option and Connect to a host group, then, if a host group is not available, Commvault connects to the source host or the proxy host instead of failing.

IP address or array name of the target array for replication

The IP address of the target array for replication.

Note

Starting in Commvault Platform Release 2024E (11.36), editing this snapshot configuration is disabled. You can edit the replication target array from the Mapping tile of the respective backup destination.

Remote Snap MA

The client name of the MediaAgent that you want to designate as the Remote Snap MediaAgent.

For more information, see Remote Snap MediaAgent.

Do not track Pod volume secondary snapshots

When selected, POD secondary snapshots are not tracked.

The default value is clear, that is, the POD secondary snapshots are tracked.

Enable protection group by default for consistency

When selected, the protection group is used for Snap backup to ensure consistency.

The default value is clear, that is, protection group is not used for Snap backup.

Note

If you want to enable this property, Commvault recommends doing so at the subclient level on the Pure Storage FlashArray to reduce the number of protection groups that are created.

Behavior of SafeMode protection groups if subclient content is removed

For SafeMode protection groups, removing the subclient content results in the removal of volumes from the existing protection group. If Create a new protection group is selected, a new protection with all the volumes existing volumes will be created. If Use existing protection group is selected, the existing protection group without those volumes will be used.

By default, Create a new protection group is selected.

For SafeMode considerations, see Requirements and Considerations for SafeMode.
