Considerations for NetApp plug-in

The following requirements and limitations are applicable in a NetApp environment:

For NAS environment, the NetBackup Snapshot Manager's snapshot export operation will fail for shares assigned with the default array export policy. Ensure you assign a different export policy (other than the default) to the shares before initiating the export operation.
For SAN environment, default array export policy can be assigned to NetApp volumes.
For all NAS and SAN NetApp Flex volumes, auto-delete option must be disabled: volume snapshot autodelete modify -vserver <vserverName> -volume <Volume Name> -enabled false - trigger volume
If an old snapshot is selected during PIT rollback, all new snapshots created after that snapshot are deleted automatically from the array.
Fan out of replication topology is not supported with synchronous replication.
You can have a maximum of eight fan out relationships from a single source volume.
If you create any new replication relationship between source and destination apart from the ones mentioned in the Policy Name, Policy Type, and Replication Type table, then the new relationship is considered as NetApp_SnapMirror.
- For SAN environment, if destination LUNs are on different SVM than source LUNs, then the NetBackup client should have FC zoning with destination SVM, in case of FC; iscsi session with destination SVM, in case of iscsi.
