Importing discovered external relationships

Existing external SnapVault and SnapMirror relationships are discovered using the NetApp Management Console data protection capability. If you choose to manage an existing relationship using the NetApp Management Console data protection capability, you must import it into an existing dataset.

Before you begin

About this task

When you import an external relationship into a dataset, the dataset protection status changes to "Uninitialized." When the next scheduled backup or mirror backup job runs, or when you run an on-demand backup, the protection status changes to reflect the results of the protection job.

Steps

  1. From the menu bar, click Data > External Relationships.
  2. Select one or more relationships from the list and click Import to start the Import Relationships wizard.
  3. Complete the steps in the wizard to import the relationships into an existing dataset.

Result

The selected SnapVault or SnapMirror relationships are imported into the dataset using the NetApp Management Console data protection capability. These relationships are now treated as though the NetApp Management Console data protection capability created them.
