Hi Glenn,
I am the product manager for SMVI (SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure). Offline I can answer any specific questions around SMVI you may have.
Here are few data points based on what I see on this thread:
* Product will be released mid August 2008 * Will support iSCSI, FCP, (and NFS) * Will support NFS and VMFS datastore * Will be able to initiate Snapmirror (after a snapshot) * Will have backup scheduling & retention capability * Will have GUI and CLI
thanks Silesh

I heard it got delayed - but seeing the unfinished product, it was pretty slick. Patiently waiting to procure/implement this for our upcoming VMWare deployment.

Hi all
Among (poor) white papers, announcements and so on, Snapmanager for VMWare (or VI3) has been announced on february 2008...
Is there somebody explain why I can't find detailed white papers, tecg resosurce docs on now and so on?
And, more, is there somebody who tested it and that can tell me (us) if this produtct can really do more that the script we usually use to backup VMs on NetApp storage?
Thanks a lot
