Lifecycle planning prerequisites
Get started with Lifecycle planning by verifying the readiness of your operational environment, login, and network access. To use Lifecycle planning, you should ensure that your environment meets all requirements.
-
Your environment must meet all NetApp Console requirements including a login and network access from a web browser.
Refer to the NetApp Console Quick start and NetApp Console networking information.
-
You need to have access credentials to the clusters.
-
While not a requirement, it is helpful if the NetApp Console agent is in place and enabled and the ONTAP system is discovered. If not, the service walks you through those processes.
-
If you plan on tiering cold data to cloud storage, ensure that the cluster is eligible per the license.
