NetApp is currently selling the successor to the ASA (SAN Only), the ASAr2, at an attractive price. Basically, it is a system from the ONTAP family, like the FAS or AFF systems. Unfortunately, the API has changed considerably, and Commvault does not yet support the ASAr2 API. I’ve heard that integration is being worked on. Is there a timeline for this?
We have a few projects where Commvault (new customer) and NetApp would be a good combination.
Question
IntelliSnap Support for NetApp ASAr2

Hi and thanks !
I’m busy on upgrading Commvault with major software versions and lots of other stuff, and forgot to reply.
Here it is our most common use case : perform primary snapshot with intellisnap for Netapp, and then run the backup copy of these snaps.
We do not use Commvault to manage replication between Netapp devices, so I would say we are lucky with this 😅
Regards,
Laurent.

Thanks
When you mention “replication support”, are you referring to what is generally known as SnapVault to a second Storagesystem (Nearstore)?
In our customers’ environments, SM-AS / SnapMirror Active Sync support is likely to be the most interesting option as an alternative to the traditional MetroCluster.
Am I right in assuming that the two topics are closely related and therefore have a similar (i.e. no) ETA?
