Hi Grey
& Toasters,
What you
should be aware of here is that IBM branded SnapDrive or SnapManager must be
upgraded with the same brand of software. For example, if you want to
install IBM branded SME, you must first uninstall NetApp branded SME from
the system. Furthermore, different brands of the same software cannot
coexist on the same Windows host. For example, NetApp SME can not coexist
with IBM SME. The same applies to SnapDrive.
That
said, NetApp branded SME will work with IBM branded SnapDrive and vice
versa. NetApp branded SnapDrive will work with IBM branded ONTAP and vice
versa.

Is it just me or should
netapp include hot fixes that it requires to install for windows....
No, it
is not just you. We think so too and actually do make some of the
required hotfixes available. Keep in mind that permission to
redistribute these hotfixes is at Microsoft's discretion
and obtaining the permission is not necessarily an easy task. All of
the hotfixes that we do have the permission to redistribute can be
downloaded from the SnapDrive download page on the NOW site. To the best of
my knowledge, the hotfixes that we have permission to redistribute are
also included on the SnapDrive CD.
Kind
