Configuration overview: NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP with Replication Director
The following table lists the general configuration steps necessary to set up NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP with Replication Director.
Table: NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP with Replication Director configuration tasks overview*
Description | Reference topics |
|---|
NetApp ONTAP Cluster | Install a supported version of NetApp ONTAP Cluster on the cluster storage system with the appropriate licenses. Set up any Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs). Add any required protocols (for example CIFS, NFS, NDMP). Assign logical interfaces. Create export policies for NFS volumes and export shares for CIFS.
See NetApp documentation. |
OnCommand Unified Manager for Clustered Data ONTAP | Deploy the OnCommand Unified Manager, version 6.x. Add the cluster. Configure Resource Pools for the replication target. Configure resource pools in the OnCommand Unified Manager and add aggregates to the resource pools. Create a resource pool for each replication target. An aggregate can belong to a single resource pool. Do not create a resource pool for the source or primary data; that is handled automatically. NetBackup can now access the resource pools as disk volumes during the NetBackup disk pool creation step. Create required Storage Virtual Machine associations.
See NetApp documentation. |
Enable and turn on NetApp licenses, which can include the following: SnapMirror SnapVault SnapRestore
| See NetApp documentation. Not all licenses may be necessary. |
Install the NetApp Plug-in for Veritas NetBackup 2.0 (NBUPlugin2.0). | Install the plug-in on either a Windows or a Linux computer other than the OnCommand Unified Manager server, the master server, or any media servers. This computer becomes the storage server in NetBackup. Configure the plug-in to point to the OnCommand Unified Manager server.
The plug-in uses port 8086 by default. See NetApp documentation. See Using NetApp disk arrays with Replication Director. |
Install necessary licenses on NAS systems: | See NetApp documentation. |
|
Configure IPv6 if necessary. By default, the NBUPlugin is configured for IPv4. | See NetApp documentation. |
*See the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool for the latest information about supported versions.
