NetApp BlueXP

NetApp BlueXP is required installation and deployment software for NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP storage software services. BlueXP has management capabilities to manage your NetApp cloud and hybrid cloud storage environments, including Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Cloud Volumes ONTAP high availability, NetApp AFF, and NetApp FAS storage systems. BlueXP simplifies the day-to-day tasks of the ONTAP software environment, including the configuration, setup, and monitoring of each active virtual and hardware storage node. It supports point-and-click installation and automatically selects and allocates cloud resources for each instance. When deploying Cloud Volumes ONTAP, BlueXP will use your Amazon Web Services credentials to select the EC2 virtual machines and EBS or S3 storage required to run the selected instance. When you deploy BlueXP, you can provide your own IAM configuration file. Important: Verify that you have purchased the appropriate Cloud Volumes ONTAP software license prior to deployment. You can find out how to buy it at the following link (https://www.lenovonetapp.com/contact-us/ ). Users need to apply for relevant records and open ports 80 and 443.
