NetApp storage array
The NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center NetApp plug-in allows you to 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.
NetApp FlexGroup volumes in NAS environment.
All snapshot operations supported on FlexGroup volumes are the same as NAS share snapshots.
The NetApp plug-in uses NetApp Manageability SDK (NMSDK) which internally consumes the NetApp ZAPI interface supported by the 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 the NetApp family to communicate with the NetApp array.
