Prerequisites for configuring the plug-in

Consider the following prerequisites before you install Plug‑in for Nutanix Files:

•
From the Nutanix Prism Web UI, select the Nutanix Files instance you want to protect with the plug-in.
•
Create a REST API access user name and password. A user account is required to make REST calls to Nutanix Files.

Configure an Active Directory (AD) user as the backup administrator. This step gives the AD user read access for all of the shares for Nutanix Files, which overrides their default access.
The AD user is called the Backup user in plug-in configuration.

NOTE: If you plan to restore data to a Mount Target, the Backup user must also have write access. Consider assigning Nutanix Files Admin permissions to this user.
