Hi Alan and Skip,
 
This is just an "FYI" to eliminate any confusion. There has never been a version of SnapManager which supported the use of Exchange 5.5 on VLD. The first version of SnapManager for Exchange to support the use of Exchange 5.5 databases on NetApp LUNs is the most recent release, version 3.1.
 
NetAppDrive is included with the SnapManager for Exchange 5.5 product. Its purpose is to maintain the CIFS drive letter mappings to the filer which Exchange uses as well as monitor the Exchange services.
 
SnapDrive it different. It is a separate product and it is used for iSCSI and FCP LUN provisioning and management.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Regards,
 
Paul

No real issues, just if you are using vld's you'll need to convert them to lun's before you upgrade snapdrive.  Also, make sure that you have all the SP and hotfixes installed as per the NetApp SnapDrive/SnapManager Documentation.
 
One other issue is the licensing of the newer versions of SnapDrive & SnapManager.  You'll have to consult your agreement to determine if you can upgrade.  Also, these products are now licensed either on a per filer or per host basis.

Hi all

 

I'm running snap manger for exchange version 1.1.1 and netapp drive same version on a windows 2000 box with exchange 5.5. Can I upgrade snap manger for exchange to version 3.6 and upgrade netapp drive as well? Any known issues with this?
