STORAGE ARRAYS VIA REST API

Storage Array Model Storage Array Operating System Version Vendor
PowerStore 500T, 1000T, 1200T, 3000T, 3.5.0.x Dell
3200T, 5000T, 5200T, 7000T, 9200T 3.6.0.x
Notes:
• This table applies for protection of block volume and volume group data. For protection of PowerStore NAS shares, refer to
the Dynamic NAS table on page 10.
• The PowerStore appliance communicates with PowerProtect DD over IP (DD Boost). Storage array protection supports
physical PowerProtect DD appliances, including HA models, as well as DDVE on-premises and in a public AWS, GCP, and
Azure cloud.
• Block volume protection policies do not support PowerStore Metro volumes.
• If a volume or volume group is already part of a PowerStore Manager protection policy, the volume or volume group cannot
be protected by PowerProtect Data Manager, and conversely.
• A PowerProtect DD storage unit that is configured as a remote system for a PowerStore Manager protection policy cannot
be shared with a PowerProtect Data Manager protection policy, and conversely.
• There is no specific hard limit on the number of PowerStore clusters or appliances that can be managed by a single instance
of PowerProtect Data Manager. However, other PowerProtect Data Manager limitations may impose such limits.

Notes:
• The File System agent supports Microsoft failover clustering for both CSV and cluster volumes configurations.
• Kernel versions are applicable for BBB (block-based backups), that is, for image-level backups ONLY. The File System
agent uses BBB technology if there are no exclusion filters associated with a policy. Only LVM-based volumes are
supported for protection. Backups of non-LVM/physical disks are not supported with BBB.
• If a protection policy is associated with one or more exclusion filters, the file system agent performs backups using FBB (file-
based backup) technology. Backups using FBB are independent of the kernel version.
• Backups in the following scenarios are always taken using FBB regardless of whether the policy is associated with
exclusion filters or not, as BBB does not support these use cases:
o Backups on Oracle Linux 7.x UEK platform (use --skip-driver during agent installation to skip the BBB driver)
o Backups on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
o Backups of non-LVM/physical disks
o Backups of btrfs volumes
• The File System agent on AIX supports only FBB. BBB is not supported.
• The File System agent on AIX requires the xlc runtime environment 16.1.0.7 or later.
• The PowerProtect Data Manager for File System Agent User Guide provides installation steps and configuration information
for AIX.
• The File System agent supports disaster recovery backups, which consist of bare metal recovery (BMR) backup and system
state recovery (SSR) backup, for Windows only.
• The File System agent supports Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS).
• The File System agent supports ZFS and only supports FBB. BBB is not supported.
• The File System agent supports Active Directory Granular-Level Restore from BMR/SSR backups for Windows Server
2016, 2019, and 2022 only.

Notes:
• For NFS-based CSI storage, storage class with root client access enabled is required for backup. See the PowerProtect
Data Manager for Kubernetes User Guide for information about protection of root squashed persistent volumes.
1. Limited support for CEPH-FS persistent volumes. Protection may fail for volumes greater than 25 GB.
2. CSI driver version for PowerScale must be 1.5 or higher and the user provided must additionally have
ISI_PRIV_IFS_BACKUP and ISI_PRIV_IFS_RESTORE privileges. See CSI Driver for PowerScale Installation Guide for
more information. The storage classes in the Kubernetes cluster should use only one PowerScale access zone.
3. vSphere CSI driver storage classes with volume binding mode of WaitForFirstConsumer are not supported.
