A NetApp Console agent enables you to connect your NetApp Console deployments to your infrastructure in order to securely orchestrate solutions across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or on-premises environments. The Console agent executes the actions that the NetApp Console needs to perform to manage your data infrastructure. The Console agent constantly polls the NetApp Disaster Recovery software as a service layer for any actions that it needs to take.
For Disaster Recovery, these actions orchestrate VMware vCenter clusters and ONTAP storage instances by using each service's native APIs to provide protection for production VMs running in an on-premises location. Although the Console agent can be installed in any of your network locations, we recommend installing the Console agent at the disaster recovery site for Disaster Recovery. Installing at the disaster recovery site ensures that in the event of a failure of the primary site, the NetApp console UI maintains its connection to the Console agent and can orchestrate the recovery process within that disaster recovery site.
