Resources are PostgreSQL clusters on the Linux host that are managed by SnapCenter. You can add the resources to resource groups to perform data protection operations after you discover the PostgreSQL clusters that are available.

Before you begin

  • You must have already completed tasks such as installing the SnapCenter Server, adding hosts, and setting up the storage system connections.

  • SnapCenter Plug-in for PostgreSQL does not support automatic discovery of the resources residing on RDM/VMDK virtual environments.

About this task

  • After installing the plug-in, all the clusters on that Linux host are automatically discovered and displayed on the Resources page.

  • Only clusters are auto-discovered.

The automatically discovered resources cannot be modified or deleted.

Steps

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Resources, and then select the Plug-in for PostgreSQL from the list.

  2. In the Resources page select the resource type from the View list.

  3. (Optional) Click filter icon, and then select the host name.

    You can then click filter icon to close the filter pane.

  4. Click Refresh Resources to discover the resources available on the host.

    The resources are displayed along with information such as resource type, host name, associated resource groups, backup type, policies and overall status.

    • If the cluster is on a NetApp storage and not protected, then Not protected is displayed in the Overall Status column.

    • If the cluster is on a NetApp storage system and protected, and if there is no backup operation performed, then Backup not run is displayed in the Overall Status column. The status will otherwise change to Backup failed or Backup succeeded based on the last backup status.

Important You must refresh the resources if the clusters are renamed outside of SnapCenter.
