SnapProtect^™ Backup - NetApp

Prerequisites

Licenses

• SnapRestore license for Revert operations (LUNs and NFS shares).
• FlexClone license for backup and restore operations of NFS shares.
• FCP, ISCSI, CIFS, NFS  licenses for features such as Fiber Channel Protocol, iSCSI protocol, CIFS file sharing, and NFS File Sharing. Use the appropriate license for the specific data types.
• HTTP/HTTPS licenses on the NetApp file server to allow communication.

Additional Requirements for VMware

When performing SnapProtect operations on VMware using NFS file-based protocol, ensure the following:

The NetApp storage device name specified in Array Management matches that on the ESX Server.
The VMkernel IP address of all ESX servers that are used for mount operations should be added to the root Access of the NFS share on the source storage device. This needs to be done because the list of all root hosts able to access the snaps are inherited and replicated from the source storage device.

Setup the Array Information

Provide the identification information for the array to ensure access. The following section provides step-by-step instructions for setting the array information.

1.	From the CommCell Console, navigate to Tools | Control Panel. Click Array Management.
2.	Click Add.
3.	Select NetApp from the Snap Vendor list. Specify the name of the file server in the Name field.   You can provide the host name, fully qualified domain name or TCP/IP address of the file server.

Enter the user access information with administrative privileges in the Username and Password fields. Use the Description field to enter a description about the entity.
