Prerequisites

Before configuring the plug-in, you must complete the following tasks:

•

Install License for Plug‑in for SnapShot Manager: The license key for the plug-in can be requested at https://support.quest.com/.

•

Install License for Snapshot Software: A separate license must be installed on each filer that is used to restore snapshots generated with the Network Appliance Snapshot utility and Plug‑in for SnapShot Manager.

To obtain Network Appliance-specific license information, start a telnet session into the applicable filer and issue the following command:

license

Due to the scope of NetApp Snapshot backup and recovery, a physical storage device (for example, a tape drive) is not required as the snapshots are stored on the filer’s hard drive. However, for redundancy, you may choose to back up the actual snapshots onto physical media. To do so requires the use of the NetVault Backup Plug-in for NDMP. For more information about this plug-in, see the Quest NetVault Backup Plug-in for NDMP User’s Guide.
