Several parameters are required to connect Snap Creator Server to vFiler units and interfaces.

Parameter Setting Description

VFILERS

List the vFiler units and their hosting storage systems or volumes. For example: vFiler1@controller1:vol1,vol2,vol3;vFiler2@controller2:vol1;vFiler3@controller3:vol2,vol3Note: HTTPS is not supported with vFiler units.

MANAGEMENT_ INTERFACES

Lists the primary storage controllers and their management interfaces used for communications.For example: MANAGEMENT_INTERFACES=controller1:controller1-mgmt;controller2:controller2-mgmt

SECONDARY_ INTERFACES

List the primary storage controllers or vFiler units and their secondary interfaces' source or destination for SnapVault and SnapMirror relationships.For example: controller1:controller1-source/controller2-destination

Note The SnapVault and SnapMirror relationships must be configured to use this secondary interface. Snap Creator does not manage SnapMirror and SnapVault relationships.

USE_PROXY

(Y|N)

Allows API calls to go through Active IQ Unified Manager server proxy instead of the storage controller directly. If this option is used, NTAP_USERS is not required.

ALLOW_IP_ADDR

(Y|N)

Allows the IP address to be used for the storage system. This applies to SnapVault, SnapMirror, and the NetApp Management Console data protection capability. Using IPs can create problems and should only be used under certain conditions.
