Configuring Replication Director to work with Clustered Data ONTAP

Once you have installed NetApp ONTAP Cluster and configured the OnCommand Unified Manager server and any other NetApp components, you can configure Replication Director to work with Clustered Data ONTAP.

To configure Replication Director to work with Clustered Data ONTAP

  1. In NetBackup, use the Storage Server Configuration Wizard to create a storage server. When the wizard prompts you for the storage server details, enter the information for the computer on which the NBUPlugin 2.0 is installed.

    See the following topic for additional information:

    See Creating a NetBackup storage server for snapshot replication.

  2. As part of the Storage Server Configuration Wizard, configure disk pools and storage units for the primary snapshot.
  3. Configure disk pools and storage units for the replication target.

    See Creating disk pools for snapshot replication.

  4. Configure the storage and create storage units for any media (for example tape or AdvancedDisk) if you want to perform a Backup From Snapshot operation.
  5. Create the storage lifecycle policy.

    See Creating a storage lifecycle policy for snapshots and snapshot replication.

  6. Configure the client with any necessary policy-specific modifications. For example, you can create NFS mount-points that refer to a volume on a Storage Virtual Machine (SVM).
  7. Create any necessary backup policies.

    See About creating backup policies for Clustered Data ONTAP with Replication Director.
