Using NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP with Replication Director
Replication Director for NetBackup 7.7 supports the NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP operating system versions 8.2 and 8.3. Upgrade your master server, any media servers, and any NetBackup clients to NetBackup 7.7 to protect the data in a Clustered Data ONTAP environment using the existing Replication Director tools and features.
Replication Director requires the NetApp OnCommand Unified Manager for Clustered Data ONTAP 6.x for Clustered Data ONTAP support. The Clustered Data ONTAP operating system lets you host Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs, formerly known as Vservers). When you create backup policies in NetBackup, you work with volumes on SVMs. Use Replication Director to protect volumes on SVMs with snapshot, replication, and backup operations. You can replicate volumes to an SVM residing on the same cluster as the source SVM or to a different cluster entirely (inter-cluster replication).
NetApp developed an OST plug-in for Clustered Data ONTAP called the NBUPlugin 2.0. You install the NBUPlugin 2.0 to allow Replication Director to work with Clustered Data ONTAP. The plug-in cannot be installed on the OnCommand Unified Manager server, the master server, or any media servers. You must install the plug-in on a separate Windows or Linux computer.
