NetApp storage array
The NetBackup Snapshot Manager NetApp plug-in allows you create, replicate, delete, restore, export, and deport snapshots of the following assets on the NetApp storage arrays:
NetApp Logical Unit Number (LUNs) storage units in a SAN environment.
NetApp Volumes ONTAP serves data to clients and hosts from logical containers called FlexVol volumes.
NetApp NFS volumes in a NAS environment.
NetApp SMB shares in a NAS environment.
Note:
Snapshot replication is currently supported for snapshots created for NAS storage. This solution is not supported for snapshots created for SAN storage.
The NetApp plug-in uses NetApp Manageability SDK (NMSDK) which internally consumes the NetApp ZAPI interface supported by NetApp family to communicate with the NetApp array. For Data ONTAP version 9.10 and above, the NetApp plug-in uses the REST API interface supported by NetApp family to communicate with the NetApp array.
