![]() ![]() Mount a disk (VMDK) from a backup to the guest VM. ![]() See list of all backups for the source VM¹.Restore Agent (RA) on guest VM to browse disks containing files to be restored Restore Agent (RA) will be deployed on VM Once the ONTAP Snapshot is completed, SnapManager for VI informs VC to take these VMs from the “Hot-Backup” mode and the Redo-Logs are applied to their corresponding VMDK(s) and normal operation resume.SnapManager for VI can now initiate Data ONTAP Snapshots via the ONTAP APIs and the Snapshot of the entire datastore where these Virtual Machines reside is taken.Redo-Logs get created by VMware for these VMs and the VMDKs are now frozen and all writes happen on the Redo-Logs for these Virtual Machines.Virtual Center communicates with the appropriate ESX server which will place VM1 and VM2 in “Hot Backup” mode.The virtual administrator requests a backup of VM1 and VM2.Snapshots always happen at the Datastore levels, but restores can be done at the individual Virtual Machine level.SnapManager for Virtual Infrastructure uses ONTAP API to scheduleSnapshots and SnapRestores functions in the NetApp platforms, as well as invoking SnapMirror for replication of these Snapshots which can be directed at a DR site.Virtual Center communicates with the ESX servers for all management functions, and uses resident agents in the ESX servers.SMVI co-exist with Virtual Center and uses API to communicate with Virtual Center to provide requests to the ESX servers for their respective Virtual Machines.The entire processing happens on storage systems, freeing your servers resources to run application.It allows restore at any level of granularity – VM, disk (VMDK), or guest file.NETAPP’s Snapshot technology will enable you to create point-in-time copies of your VMs or entire datastores.This will help you to streamline and automate your virtual machine backup process.SMVI is NETAPP solution to streamline protection of your Virtual environment. ![]()
