Limitations to using Clustered Data ONTAP with Replication Director

Consider the following limitations before you configure Clustered Data ONTAP to work with Replication Director:

Replication Director with Clustered Data ONTAP supports NAS only. Currently, it does not support SAN.
Replication Director does not support Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) root volume protection.
Replication Director does not support Infinite volumes.
NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP does not support qtree-level, SnapVault replication. 7-mode supports qtree-level replication, however.
Clustered Data ONTAP SnapVault only supports volume level replication

The following limitations concern using Clustered Data ONTAP with NDMP:

NDMP Live Browse is supported with Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3 and higher only.
For Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2, you can select the Index From Snapshot option for any NDMP policies, so that you can search images for backed up data.
Snapshot and Replication SLP workflows do not support NDMP backups to local, node-attached tape devices.
Replication Director enabled NDMP policies only support any NDMP hosts that are added using data LIFs. Any NDMP hosts that are added using Cluster-management or Intercluster LIFs are not supported as Replication Director enabled policies.
NDMP policies fail if you do not enter the SVM name exactly as the OnCommand Unified Manager sees it when you create the policy. For example, if the SVM name in the OnCommand Unified Manager is a fully qualified domain name, you must use the SVM's fully qualified domain name when you create the policy. The entry is case-sensitive.
