Sounds like it can be used on a per machine basis, so it would be good to exclude trouble machines.

You can tell SMVI (v1.1) not to perform OS level disk quiecing on those machines if that's any use to you? You'll then get a completely transparent Netapp level snapshot and won't interfere with the VM itself.

It is SMVI v1.01 BTW, not 1.1 Not sure I understand this correctly, but if you are bypassing OS disk quiesce (VMWare snapshot) and doing transparent NetApp level snapshot, then why do you even need SMVI installed? Can't we just do the regular filer level snap schedule? We just upgraded to 1.01 and noticed the checkbox and were wondering about its potential use. Any ideas?
