NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide

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.
