Vmware independent disks

Question

We recently had to make changes (stig) to our VMware environment and changed to independent disks.  From my reading on V11.20  we now have to switch to using IntelliSnap if we want to snapshot the vm servers?  Is IntelliSnap another License that we have to purchase or will the option to enable IntelliSnap show up after we have defined an Array?  We were using the provided VMware client to take snap shots which was working fine until the change to independent disks was made.  Now we get Independent disks are not supported error.

Hi,IntelliSnap feature needs Hardware snap enabler License from beginning. Yes, its required and Array entry should present for corresponding h/w snap array. Then on VM group/subclient level, in IntelliSnap operations IntelliSnap option has to be selected with includeIndependent disks option.RegardsGopinath
