Welcome to my video on how to perform VM pure storage snapshot offload to NFS VM. Universal storage integration with pure storage has various options for performing snapshots and backup for primary applications. And one of the use cases is Wim pure snapshot offload to NFS. What does Flasher snap to NFS means it is a self backup technology built into the flash,

right? It comes with no additional software license and it has all the data management level features such as preserving compression while transit and data reduction capabilities across snapshots. There are some prerequisites to perform V pr storage snapshot offload job. You would need V M 12 and VM universal storage plug in version two for pure storage,
00:51
a purity version 6.3 to have the visibility of the offloaded snapshot on NFS target an offload application installed and set, set up on flash and the protection group is set up correctly on the volume to be protected. Running a wee off your job is a straightforward task to set up a pure snapshot offload job. You would need to configure VM snapshot only job on the V M server and then select configure
01:19
secondaries destination for the job. And next step at storage wizard select pure storage Flasher offload from the list of the secondary target and then set the retention time according to your requirements. Once the job is successfully configured and executed, the V B R will detect the offload relationship of the volume on flash a protection group and it will perform the
01:42
snapshot on the primary array and later will offload it to the configured NFS target. This is how simple it is to offload the snapshot to NFS target. You can perform the rest of the snapshot from server directly or from flash array. You can perform the VM snapshot restored from beam server storage infrastructure tab and go into the primary flash array storage volume and then the snapshot can be restored by expanding

the volume. Otherwise, you can also view the offloaded snapshot on flash array and can retrieve the snapshot from the offloaded target using command line with VM snapshot, offload to NFS. You can back up the snapshots for a longer period of time. And in case of any disaster scenario, you have the power to recover your primary data.
