SnapMirror cloud relationships can be orchestrated using pre-qualified third-party backup applications. Beginning with ONTAP 9.9.1, you can also use System Manager to orchestrate SnapMirror cloud replication. Both SnapMirror and SnapMirror cloud capacity licenses are required when using System Manager to orchestrate on-premises ONTAP to object storage backups. You will also need to request and install the SnapMirror cloud API license.
The SnapMirror cloud and SnapMirror S3 licenses are cluster licenses, not node licenses, so they are not delivered with the ONTAP One license bundle. These licenses are included in the separate ONTAP One Compatibility bundle. If you want to enable SnapMirror cloud, you need to request this bundle.
Additionally, System Manager orchestration of SnapMirror cloud backups to object storage requires a SnapMirror cloud API key. This API license is a single-instance cluster-wide license, meaning it does not need to be installed on every node in the cluster.
You need to request and download the ONTAP One Compatibility bundle and the SnapMirror cloud API license and then install them using System Manager.
