You
may have been confusing this with the Symantec Netbackup SnapVault (SnapVault
for Netbackup) integrated version. That product is EOL, but SnapVault itself
(FAS->FAS and OSSV->FAS) most definitely not!
Snapvault is not EOL. The next version of SMVI will be including
snapvault support. In the interim, Matt Robinson of NetApp has written SV SMVI
(Snapvault for Snapmanager for Virtual Infrastructure). I've tried it in our
development lab and it seems to work really well. Take a look at it at
http://communities.netapp.com/docs/DOC-1868;jsessionid=A4775C7EF68BD0E628BE54033CB9D59B
The S550 is being discontinued and therefore snapvault primary for it is
EOL. However, snapvault for the FAS series is not EOL.
