Integrate ONTAP System Manager with NetApp Console
Suggest changes
PDFs
You can manage ONTAP 9.10.1 and later releases using System Manager in the NetApp Console. This integration allows you to efficiently oversee your hybrid multicloud infrastructure using a unified control plane, all while retaining the familiar System Manager user interface.
The Console enables you to create and administer cloud storage (for example, Cloud Volumes ONTAP), use NetApp data services (for example, Cloud Backup), and control many on-premise and edge storage devices.
The Console provides two ways to discover and manage your clusters:
-
Direct discovery for management through System Manager (ONTAP 9.12.1 and later)
-
Discovery through a Console agent.
The Console agent is software installed in your environment. This allows you to access management functions through System Manager and access NetApp cloud services that provide features such as data replication, backup and recovery, data classification, data tiering, and more.
