NetWorker 19.7 Snapshot Management Integration Guide

Snapshot operations with TimeFinder software

To perform snapshot operations on VMAX storage arrays, the TimeFinder Solutions Enabler package must be installed on both the application host and the mount host (if separate from the application host). Solutions Enabler manages all NetWorker TimeFinder client and server operations.

The TimeFinder software maintains multiple, host-independent copies of production data by generating synchronous real-time mirrors of the production data. TimeFinder can use locally mirrored LUNs on the same VMAX array or local LUNs with remotely mirrored LUNs on a separate VMAX array with an SRDF connection.

The NetWorker intelligent pairing feature automatically matches TimeFinder source LUNs with appropriate target mirror devices. This feature replaces a manually configured symm.res file on the application host. However, if a symm.res file is present, the file takes priority.
