CSM SSM requirements for AWS

Cloud Snapshot Manager requires that the IAM policy is updated with the latest permissions.

The policy can be updated by copying the AWS minimum permission policy. An AWS Systems Manager document (SSM document) defines the actions that Systems Manager performs on your managed instances. Cloud Snapshot Manager provides SSM documents to automatically mount the volumes during a File Level Recovery (FLR) operation. To automate the mounting of volumes, you must create SSM documents in each region that you use file level recovery. To run any SSM document for the FLR operation, you require the IAM role with the AWS AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore policy for the managed instance.

Create a document that is named CSM-Mount-Unmount in each region where you are performing file level recovery. For the mounting to work, the document name must match exactly and is case sensitive. A sample script to help you get started is provided on the Help page in the Cloud Snapshot Manager portal. To suit the organization's requirements, customize the script. The sample script shows how you can automate the entire file level recovery workflow. Dell Technologies does not support the sample script.

NOTE:  With the sample script, you can mount any offline volume and bring it online.
