Configuring a connection between Workflow Automation and Unified Manager

You can configure a secure connection between OnCommand Workflow Automation (WFA) and Unified Manager. Connecting to Workflow Automation enables you to use protection features such as SnapMirror and SnapVault configuration workflows, as well as commands for managing SnapMirror relationships.

Before you begin

The installed version of Workflow Automation must be 5.1 or greater.
Note: The WFA pack for managing Clustered Data ONTAP is included in WFA 5.1 so there is no need to download this pack from the NetApp Storage Automation Store and install it separately onto your WFA server as was required in the past.
