Managing Hyper-V and SQL Server over SMB configurations
There are certain Data ONTAP tasks that you can perform to manage Hyper-V and SQL Server over SMB configurations.
More information
Configuring existing shares for continuous availability
You can modify existing shares to become continuously available shares that the Hyper-V and SQL Server application servers use to nondisruptively access Hyper-V virtual machine and configuration files and SQL Server database files.
Enabling or disabling VSS shadow copies for Hyper-V over SMB backups
If you use a VSS-aware backup application to back up Hyper-V virtual machine files stored on SMB shares, VSS shadow copy must be enabled. You can disable the VSS shadow copy if you do not use VSS-aware backup applications. The default is to enable the VSS shadow copy.
Considerations for reverting Hyper-V over SMB configurations
Before you revert to a Data ONTAP version that does not support nondisruptive operations for Hyper-V over SMB, you must be aware of certain considerations to ensure that you are prepared for the revert.
Considerations for reverting SQL Server over SMB configurations
Before you revert to a Data ONTAP version that does not support nondisruptive operations for SQL Server over SMB shares, you must be aware of certain considerations to ensure that you are prepared for the revert.
