Contributors netapp-adityaw

You can use the Health/Volumes inventory page to create SnapVault relationships for one or more volumes on the same storage virtual machine (SVM) to enable data backups for protection purposes.

Before you begin

You must have the OnCommand Administrator or Storage Administrator role.

About this task

The Protect menu does not display in the following instances:

  • If RBAC settings do not allow this action: for example, if you have only operator privileges

  • When the volume ID is unknown: for example, when you have a intercluster relationship and the destination cluster has not yet been discovered

Steps

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Health > Volumes.

  2. In the Health/Volumes inventory page, right-click a volume you want to protect and select Protect.

    Alternatively, to create multiple protection relationships on the same storage virtual machine (SVM), select one or more volumes in the Health/Volumes inventory page, and click Protect on the toolbar.

  3. Select SnapVault from the menu.

    The Configure Protection dialog box is launched.

  4. Click SnapVault to view the SnapVault tab and to configure the secondary volume information.

  5. Click Advanced to set deduplication, compression, autogrow, and space guarantee as needed, and then click Apply.

  6. Complete the Destination Information area and the Relationship Settings area in the SnapVault tab.

  7. Click Apply.

    You are returned to the Health/Volumes inventory page.

  8. Click the protection configuration job link at the top of the Health/Volumes inventory page.

    If you are creating only one protection relationship, the Protection/Job details page is displayed; however, if you are creating more than one protection relationship, a filtered list of all the jobs associated with the protection operation is displayed.

  9. Do one of the following:

    • If you have only one job, click Refresh to update the tasks list and task details associated with the protection configuration job and to determine when the job is complete.

    • If you have more than one job:

      1. Click a job in the jobs list.

      2. Click Refresh to update the tasks list and task details associated with the protection configuration job and to determine when the job is complete.

      3. Use the Back button to return to the filtered list and view another job.
