Before you can use NetApp Ransomware Resilience, it first needs to discover workload data. During discovery, Ransomware Resilience analyzes all volumes and files in systems across all Console agents and projects within an organization.
In the Discovery dashboard, Ransomware Resilience displays supported and unsupported system configurations. Ransomware Resilience assesses Oracle applications, VMware datastores, file shares, and block storage.
|
Ransomware Resilience does not discover workloads with volumes using FlexGroup. |
Ransomware Resilience checks your current backup protection, snapshot copies, and NetApp Autonomous Ransomware Protection options. Ransomware Resilience also detects protection information from SnapCenter for VMware for VM datastores, SnapCenter for Oracle, and NetApp Backup and Recovery for file shares and VM file shares. It then recommends ways to improve your ransomware protection.
Required Console role
To perform this task, you need the Organization admin, Folder or project admin, or Ransomware Resilience admin role. Learn about Ransomware Resilience roles for NetApp Console.
