Explanation

For configuring Cloud Backup Service (CBS) in a dark site to back up ONTAP volumes to StorageGRID, the necessary NetApp networking component to configure is the BlueXP Connector. The BlueXP Connector serves as a gateway to enable secure communication between on-premises environments and NetApp services, such as StorageGRID, especially in scenarios where direct internet connectivity is limited or non-existent (as in dark sites). The BlueXP Connector acts as a local agent that facilitates the connection between your ONTAP systems and NetApp's cloud services without requiring direct internet access. This setup is crucial in dark site scenarios where security and network isolation are paramount. By configuring the BlueXP Connector, administrators can ensure that backup data is securely transmitted to StorageGRID, adhering to organizational security policies. To implement this, follow these steps: Install and configure the BlueXP Connector in your environment. Ensure it has appropriate network access to both the ONTAP systems and the internal network that connects to StorageGRID. Configure CBS to use the BlueXP Connector for data transmissions to StorageGRID.
