Enabling SnapVault
Setting up SnapVault backup on the primary systems means preparing the primary storage systems and SnapVault secondary storage systems to fulfill their backup tasks. In Data ONTAP 7.3 and later, you can install the SnapVault primary and SnapVault secondary licenses on the same storage system.
You must license and prepare your storage systems before you can
use SnapVault to back up data.
- Entering license codes
Enter the SnapVault secondary storage system license code on the secondary storage system, and enter the separate SnapVault primary storage system license code on the primary storage system. If you are using an active/active configuration, you can enable a SnapVault primary license on one active/active node and a SnapVault secondary license on the other active/active node.
- Setting the enable option
Setting the enable option makes it possible to do SnapVault data transfers and Snapshot copy creation.
- Setting the ndmp option
The ndmp option enables the NDMP service on each primary storage system to be backed up.
- Setting the access option
The snapvault.access option controls which storage systems can request data transfers. This option persists across reboots.
