You can choose any volume from the cluster to perform backups. |
You can take separate backups of volumes of a particular Storage Virtual Machine. |
|
You can autodetect existing Storage Virtual Machines from the CommCell UI. |
If you want to use the Storage Virtual Machine IP for configuration, then the Storage Virtual Machine should have Storage Virtual Machine Management LIF. |
|
During configuration, you must provide Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) credentials for the cluster. |
During configuration of NAS clients, you must provide NDMP credentials for the Storage Virtual Machines. |
The Storage Virtual Machine LIF is the default configuration.
To configure NAS, SAN, and NDMP clients using Cluster Management LIF, perform the configuration of Storage Virtual Machines on NetApp Arrays.
