Subscribe to BlueXP data services (restricted mode)

Contributors netapp-bcammett netapp-tonias

Subscribe to BlueXP from your cloud provider's marketplace to pay for BlueXP services at an hourly rate (PAYGO) or through an annual contract. If you purchased a license from NetApp (BYOL), you also need to subscribe to the marketplace offering. Your license is always charged first, but you'll be charged at the hourly rate if you exceed your licensed capacity or if the license's term expires.

A marketplace subscription enables charging for the following BlueXP data services with restricted mode:

  • Backup and recovery

  • Cloud Volumes ONTAP

  • Tiering

  • Ransomware protection

  • Disaster recovery

Before you begin

Subscribing to BlueXP involves associating a marketplace subscription with the cloud credentials that are associated with a Connector. If you followed the "Get started with restricted mode" workflow, then you should already have a Connector. To learn more, view the Quick start for BlueXP in restricted mode.

The following video shows the steps to subscribe to BlueXP from the AWS Marketplace:

Steps
  1. In the upper right of the BlueXP console, select the Settings icon, and select Credentials.

  2. Select the action menu for a set of credentials and then select Configure Subscription.

    You must select credentials that are associated with a Connector. You can't associate a marketplace subscription with credentials that are associated with BlueXP.

  3. To associate the credentials with an existing subscription, select the subscription from the down-down list and select Configure.

  4. To associate the credentials with a new subscription, select Add Subscription > Continue and follow the steps in the AWS Marketplace:

    1. Select View purchase options.

    2. Select Subscribe.

    3. Select Set up your account.

      You'll be redirected to the BlueXP website.

    4. From the Subscription Assignment page:

      • Select the BlueXP organizations or accounts that you'd like to associate this subscription with.

      • In the Replace existing subscription field, choose whether you'd like to automatically replace the existing subscription for one organization or account with this new subscription.

        BlueXP replaces the existing subscription for all credentials in the organization or account with this new subscription. If a set of credentials wasn't ever associated with a subscription, then this new subscription won't be associated with those credentials.

        For all other organizations or accounts, you'll need to manually associate the subscription by repeating these steps.

      • Select Save.
