Good to know that Legato will continue to support Netapps versions . But
what I have rumours that Legato in future will not support Netapps or
Netapps will not support Legato whichever way you want to say .  Which kind
of surprises me !!!

Well we are not deciding our NAS product  Either FAS920C(Netapps) for NS700
( EMC ) ?

Any thoughts on which software we should choose for Backup as we are
comparing Veritas Netbackup  and Legato ?


Interestingly Legato requires 2 NDMP licenses and VEritas were also
requiring 2 NDMP licences for CLUSTER but recently they have changed their
policy .Well Atleast our vendor is saying that Veritas does not require 2
NDMP licences for  FAS920c Cluster .

Rahul,

>>I heard that latest ontap OS does not support Legato . is it true ?

I think you might have this backward. Data ONTAP doesn't inherently support
backup software. The backup software vendor must ensure that their product
supports the various Data ONTAP versions. That compatibility must also
extend to the version of NDMP that the NAS supports.

NetWorker 7.0 & 7.1.x support the following versions of Data ONTAP (the
following was taken from the most recent, 7/27/04, Legato Software
Compatibility Guide):

Network Appliance Data ONTAP

6.1.x, 6.2.x, 6.3.x, 6.4.x, 6.5

(Please note that all R, P, and D releases of these ONTAP versions are also
supported.)

>>If we have FAS920 C ( NAS cluster )  and we need NDMP license then do we
>>need two NDMP license ?

Yes, you would need two NetWorker NDMP Client Connection Licenses. This is
because of the way NetApp Clustered Failover (CFO) operates.

Each filer head in a NetApp cluster owns its own disk shelves, volumes, IP
address and hostname. Each filer head is, in effect, a separate filer with
the ability to take on the network identity and take ownership of its
partner filer's disk shelves and volumes in the event of a failure.

So, two filers=two licenses.

I heard that latest ontap OS does not support Legato . is it true ?

If we have FAS920 C ( NAS cluster )  and we need NDMP license then do we
need two NDMP license ?
