OnCommand Report provides comprehensive reporting of your NetApp storage infrastructure, allowing users to report on their NetApp inventory, capacity, and storage efficiency. This “how to” technical report walks through the steps to create a custom dashboard.

NetApp® Syncsort Integrated Backup (NSB) is a product developed jointly by Syncsort and NetApp as a data protection solution designed for simplicity and ease of integration with existing environments. With NSB, Syncsort's BEX software has been carefully integrated to exploit the strengths of NetApp FAS secondary storage – to maximize data protection benefits and to be operated from a single, intuitive user interface.

This document is a deployment guide for designing and deploying NetApp SnapMirror Async in a customer environment. It describes replicating data to a NetApp destination system by using NetApp SnapMirror technology. This document is intended to assist field personnel in designing and deploying a SnapMirror solution.

Server Message Block (SMB) 2.0 is the next version of the Common Internet File System (CIFS)/SMB protocol. CIFS can also be considered as SMB 1.0. This document describes the SMB 2.0 features, configuration details, and its implementation in Data ONTAP® 7.3.1. This document also describes SMB 2.0 benefits over CIFS (SMB 1.0), deployment use cases, best practices, and tools to diagnose and capture SMB 2.0 information.

NetApp® technology enables companies to extend their virtual infrastructures to include the benefits of advanced storage virtualization. Our unified storage platforms provide industry-leading technologies in the areas of storage efficiencies, instantaneous VM and datastore cloning for virtual servers and virtual desktops, and virtual data center backup and business continuance solutions. This technical report reviews the best practices for implementing VMware® vSphere™ with NetApp unified storage arrays. NetApp has been providing advanced storage features to VMware solutions since 2001. During this time, NetApp has developed operational guidelines for storage arrays running Data ONTAP® and ESX/ESXi Server. These techniques have been documented and are referred to as “best practices.” This technical report describes them.

An overview of NetApp® Data Motion, which is one of the foundation pieces of ‘Always-On Data Mobility’, providing non-disruptive data migration. It also describes the best practices for using NetApp Data Motion.

This document is intended to serve as a guide for architecting and deploying MetroCluster™ in a customer environment. This design and implementation guide describes the basic MetroCluster architecture, considerations for deployment, and best practices. As always, refer to the latest technical publications on the NOW™ (NetApp® on the Web) site for specific updates on processes; Data ONTAP® command syntax; and the latest requirements, issues, and limitations. This document is intended for field personnel who require assistance in architecting and deploying a MetroCluster solution

This technical report describes how to use the NetApp storage system’s Snapshot™ and SnapRestore® features to back up and restore a DB2 database in UNIX® environments and how to meet the challenges posed by shrinking backup and recovery windows for a mission-critical application. Regardless of the size of the database or the level of activity on the NetApp storage system, a Snapshot copy takes only a few seconds to create. The SnapRestore feature dramatically improves the system availability by providing the ability to recover in minutes, instead of hours or days.
