A snapshot and replication schedule can be defined as well, however, in this example, a manual snap and retrieval is described. Refer to the Snap to NFS Overview and Administration on how to setup a scheduled snapshot and/or replication.
Snap To NFS
Step 1) Click on “+” (plus) sign in Protection Group Snapshots section in the bottom of the Protection Group pane.
Step 2) Click on “Replicate Now” and then “Create” to initiate the send to NFS. This will create a snapshot locally of the volume(s) within the protection group and then replicate them to the Access Appliance.
Step 3) Click on the Array at the top and click on accessT in the Offload Target and view the snapshot from FlashArray to see the progress of the snap to NFS.
Snapshot Retrieval
Step 1) Click on the Array at the top and go to the Offload section and click on the target(e.g. accessT). From the list of Protection Group Snapshots, click on the down arrow icon .
Step 2) Select the desired volume snapshot to retrieve and click Get.
Step 3) View the Summary and either click OK or “Go to the Volumes Page”.
Step 4) From the Volumes page in the Volume Snapshots section, click on Transfer and the list of volume snapshots transferred is listed.
