Hi @Federico
The option is replying on the revert function of the array itself. If I am not mistaken the revert is per volume and is noted as “volume” multiple times in CV docs as well as netapp

Hello Scott
Netapp can restore a single file from a snapshot with commnad "volume snapshot restore-file….." and for I know a LUN is a “file” on the Ontap filesystem
https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-98/volume-snapshot-restore-file.html

Restoring a single file is not the same as revert operation.
Yes, you can restore a single DB from the snap backup taken in CV
I will let those more familiar with Netapp and snapshot revert operation comment further...
restore (revert) a single LUN from a Netapp snapshot is a supported operation by the storage, the only caveat is to correctly calculate the space required in the volume

just an update… official Commvault Support answer:
“We will send the revert at volume level”
so make an attention on what storage layout do you have in place because in my case the revert operation will revert many Exchange DBs and not only the desired one

Interestingly, I’m not 100% certain but do remember that recall that we allow single VMware VMs to be reverted on NFS datastores hosted via NetApp. Its the only configuration that allows reverts for VSA.
I’m sure we would be using that command to revert on the VM files related to that specific VM. I have not done it in many years though.
