Important notes
•
The NetApp SnapVault Client software must first be installed and properly configured on each SV Primary (regardless if it is a Filer or an Open System) before it can be added to NetVault Backup Server. For complete details on the installation of this software, see the relevant NetApp documentation.
•
If an Open System is to serve as an SV Primary, the Account and Password information used to add the SV Primary refers to the values that were generated when NetApp SnapVault Client software was originally installed and configured on said SV Primary. When adding multiple Open Systems as SV Primaries, the Use Default Account and Password option are only valid if all Open Systems were configured with this same user name and password. Otherwise, it is necessary to clear this check box, and configure user credentials for each SV Primary.
•
If a filer is acting as an SV Primary, the root account and password for the filer must be configured in the Account Details section.
