Configure Cloud Volumes ONTAP
Using BlueXP you should create a Cloud Volumes ONTAP working environment to add and manage volumes and additional data services. You should also create a Connector for your cloud environment that enables BlueXP to manage resources and processes within your public cloud environment.
Create Cloud Volumes ONTAP working environment
You can discover and add existing Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems to BlueXP. For information, refer to Adding existing Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems to BlueXP.
Create a Connector
You can get started with Cloud Volumes ONTAP for your cloud environment in a few steps. For more information, refer one of the following:
You should use the same connector to manage both Cloud Volumes ONTAP working environment and databases.
-
If you have the Cloud Volumes ONTAP working environment and databases in the same virtual private cloud (VPC) or VNet, you can deploy the connector in the same VPC or VNet.
-
If you have the Cloud Volumes ONTAP working environment and databases in different VPCs or VNets, ensure that the VPCs or VNets are peered.
