Configuring the Pure Storage FlashArray Array Using Array Management

For IntelliSnap backups from Commvault software, add the Pure Storage FlashArray array and its configuration information to the CommServe database.

Before You Begin

If you haven't done so yet, create a Storage Admin Group access role by integrating the Active Directory with the Pure Storage FlashArray array.

From the navigation pane, click Manage > Infrastructure.

The Infrastructure page appears.
Click Arrays.
On the Arrays page, click Add.

The General page of the Add Snap Array configuration wizard appears.

From the Snap vendor list, select Pure Storage FlashArray.
In the Management Interface box, enter the Pure Storage FlashArray array management IP address.
In the Description box, enter the description for the array.
For credentials, do one of the following:

Note

Enter the credentials of a user who has administrative privileges to access the array, or who has Storage Admin Group access role.
- To use the saved credentials, move the Use saved credentials toggle key to the right, and then select credentials from the Saved credentials list.
- To add new credentials, enter the credentials in User name and Password boxes.
In the API Token and Confirm API Token boxes, type the API token of the user.

Caution

You must enter the API token of the user, not the Active Directory password.
Click Next.

The Array Access Nodes page of the configuration wizard appears.

From the Available MediaAgents list, select one or more access nodes and then click OK.
- To select all the available MediaAgents as access nodes, click SELECT ALL.
To disable pruning, move the Pruning toggle button of the respective access node to the left.
To rearrange the selected access nodes, drag them upwards or downwards as required.
Click NEXT.

The Snap Configurations page of the configuration wizard appears.
