Get started with BlueXP ransomware protection by verifying the readiness of your operational environment, login, network access, and web browser.

To use BlueXP ransomware protection, you'll need these prerequisites:

  • An account in NetApp StorageGRID or AWS S3 for backup targets and the access permissions set

    Refer to the AWS permissions list for details.

  • ONTAP 9.11.1 and later

  • In BlueXP:

    • A BlueXP working environment with NetApp on-premises storage (using NAS or CIFS protocols)

    • A BlueXP Connector per each Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) or on an on-premises region must be set up in BlueXP. Refer to BlueXP documentation to configure the Connector.

      Note If you have multiple BlueXP Connectors, the service will scan data across all Connectors beyond the one that currently shows in the BlueXP UI.

    • A BlueXP account with at least one active Connector connecting to on-premises ONTAP clusters. All source and working environments must be on the same BlueXP account.

    • A BlueXP user account with Account Admin privileges for discovering resources

    • A BlueXP working environment with NetApp on-premises storage (using NAS or CIFS protocols)

    • Standard BlueXP requirements

Note The BlueXP backup and recovery service no longer needs to be already enabled on the working environment. The BlueXP ransomware protection service helps configure a backup destination through the Settings option. See Configure settings.
