# 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 | Controls how SafeMode protection groups are managed when volumes are removed from subclient content. Create a new protection group creates a new protection group when content changes. Use existing protection group continues to use the existing protection group. By default, Create a new protection group is selected. For SafeMode considerations, including database workloads that protect separate data volumes and log volumes, see Requirements and Considerations for SafeMode.
Array Host Aliases | The list of aliases that can be accessed by the array. The list is useful when array aliases cannot be detected automatically, or when duplicate assets might be detected between arrays that are shared by the same array access node. Note: Enter array FC ports without special characters. Example: A port shown as 52:5A:93:63:E9:66:53:18 must be entered as 525A9363E9665318. Enter array IQN ports exactly as they appear. Example: iqn.2010-06.com.purestorage:flasharray.621c2b6048049d01
