Licenses required for NetApp Data ONTAP 7-Mode with Replication Director
The following NetApp licenses are required to use Replication Director.
Table: NetApp licenses required for Replication Director*
License | OnCommand Unified Manager | Primary storage system | Secondary storage systems |
|---|---|---|---|
OnCommand Core Package* The package includes OnCommand server software (enabled by default) and the NetApp Management Console (install separately). 5.0.2, 5.2 (includes the DataFabric Manager server).* 5.2 and later must be used in 7-mode. | Yes | No | No |
NetApp Plug-in 1.1 or 1.1 P1 for Veritas NetBackup Download from the NetApp Support Site. Earlier plug-in versions are supported, but they do not support new features. | Yes | No | No |
Data ONTAP Versions can include: 7.3.6, 7.3.7, 8.0.3, 8.0.4, 8.0.5, 8.1, 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3.* All storage systems must be at the same version. ONTAP versions 8.0.3 and later must be used in 7-mode. | No | Yes | Yes |
*See the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool for the latest information about supported versions.
The NetApp licenses that are required to use Replication Director depends on the replication configuration in use.
Table: NetApp licenses required on storage systems*
License | On primary | Primary to SnapMirror destination | SnapVault destination | SnapVault to SnapMirror destination | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SnapMirror | Only if SnapMirror Source | Yes | Only if SnapMirror source | Yes | Use to create mirrored snapshots. Install the license on both the source and the destination storage systems in a SnapMirror relationship. Enable SnapMirror access between storage systems. Install and enable the license on both the source and the destination storage systems in a SnapMirror relationship. Allow access between source and all targets. |
SnapVault | Only if SnapVault source | Yes | No | Use to create a SnapVault snapshot copy on the primary or the secondary storage system. Install and enable the SnapVault license on the SnapVault source and destination storage systems. Older platforms have separate SnapVault primary licenses for SnapVault primary (source) and secondary (designation) storage systems. | |
SnapRestore Data ONTAP 7.3.6P1 and later is required for SnapRestore support on Windows. | Optional for fast FlexVol level restores | No | Yes | Install the SnapRestore license on all the source storage systems to enable fast pointer-based FlexVol-level restores from primary snapshots. SnapRestore is required on all SnapVault destination storage systems. For the Primary-SnapVault-SnapMirror cascade (PVM) topology, install the license on the SnapMirror destination storage system. | |
FlexClone | Only for block data or indexing, restore, or tar-formatted backup of NAS data | Only indexing, restore, or tar-formatted backup of NAS data | Install the FlexClone license on the secondary storage system that contains the SnapVault destination volumes. For the Primary-SnapVault-SnapMirror cascade (PVM) topology, install the license on the SnapMirror destination. The FlexClone license is required on any controller that is used for indexing, restoring, or performing a streaming (tar-formatted) backup of NetApp block data. | ||
CIFS | Install the CIFS license on the storage system that is in a SnapMirror or SnapVault relationship that contains the CIFS file systems. | ||||
NFS | Install the NFS license on the storage system that is in a SnapMirror or SnapVault relationship that contains the NFS systems. | ||||
iSCSI and FCs | Install either iSCSI or FC licenses on both the source and the destination storage systems. See About using NetApp SAN-connected storage with Replication Director. | ||||
SnapDrive for Windows SnapDrive 6.3.1R1, 6.4.1, 6.4.2, 6.5. | Only for Windows block data only | No | Use to automate storage provisioning tasks and to manage data in Windows environments. Install the SnapDrive license on the local host or on the primary storage system with Microsoft Windows server SAN data. Note that SnapDrive is not required for UNIX or Linux systems on NetApp LUNs. | ||
