Update Description

Support for ASA r2 systems

SnapCenter 6.2 (server and plug-ins) along with ONTAP 9.17.1 supports both primary and secondary protection of applications running on physical systems (Linux and Windows) and Virtual Machine File Systems (VMFS) utilizing hierarchical consistency groups.
