Install the NetApp Console agent for NetApp Disaster Recovery
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 NetApp Disaster Recovery, the actions that are performed orchestrate VMware vCenter clusters and ONTAP storage instances using native APIs for each respective service 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, it's recommended you install the Console agent in the disaster recovery site for NetApp Disaster Recovery. Installing in the DR 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 DR site.
