Snap Creator Backward Compatibility

REISTTELECOM — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 21:43:55 GMT

Hello Together,

we are using Snap Creator 4.0p1. As this version won't support SnapVault on Cdot we need to upgrade to a higher version. We faced out that since version 4.1.1 on all Agent Hosts must be java installed as well! We want to ask you if we can operate a 4.3 Snapcreator Server with SnapCreator 4.0p1 Agents (all the existing Agents are installed on 7-mode, so no new features will be required for them). And only to install on Servers were new features are required the new Agent with Java.

Why have you changed this? An why won't be java delivered with the Agent installation?

Best Regards

Daniel Baer

Snap Creator Server 4.3.0 supports only Snap Creator Agent 4.1.x and 4.3.x. Snap Creator Server 4.3.0 does not support Snap Creator Agent versions before 4.1.x.

Refer Snap Creator® Framework 4.3.0 Administration Guide page 11

Hi Sahana,

thanks a lot for your reply. Will SnapCreator 4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.1.3 support SnapVault on Cdot and 4.0p1 Agents?

Best Regards

Daniel

Snap Creator 4.1 Server supports both Snap Creator 4.0 and 4.1 Agents. It also supports Snapvault on Clustered Data ONTAP. Refer Snap Creator® Framework 4.1.2 Administration Guide
