NetApp plug-in configuration prerequisites

Before you configure the NetApp plug-in, verify the following:

Ensure that the NetApp storage arrays have the necessary NetApp licenses that are required to perform snapshot operations.
For SnapDiff V3 to work, install the SnapMirror and SnapMirror Cloud licenses on the cluster.
For replication, ensure SnapMirror and SnapVault license are enabled on the storage array.
For the list of all the supported Data ONTAP versions, refer to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center section in the NetBackup Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List (HCL).
For the NAS environment, ensure that the NetApp shares are configured using an active junction_path.
In NAS replication, the data-protection volume must include the active junction_path configuration, whereas this requirement is not mandatory in a SAN environment.
