Adding storage systems
You should set up the storage system that gives SnapCenter access to ONTAP storage to perform data protection and provisioning operations. You can either add a stand alone SVM or a cluster comprising of multiple SVMs.
Setting up your credentials for the Plug-in for Windows SnapCenter uses credentials to authenticate users for SnapCenter operations. You should create credentials for installing SnapCenter plug-ins, and additional credentials for performing data protection operations on Windows file systems.
Adding hosts and installing SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft Windows
You can use the SnapCenterAdd Host page to add Windows hosts. The SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft Windows is automatically installed on the specified host. This is the recommended method for installing plug-ins. You can add a host and install a plug-in either for an individual host or a cluster.
Installing the SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft Windows silently from the command line
You can install the SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft Windows locally on a Windows host if you are unable to install the plug-in remotely from the SnapCenter GUI. You can run the SnapCenter Plug-in for Microsoft Windows installation program unattended, in silent mode, from the Windows command line.
