Hello,

Is there a way to manage replication policies from legacy disaster recovery module (dfdrm.exe) with APIs/SDK?

Kind regards,

Michel

Hi Michel,

The dfdrm doesnt have API/SDK, instead only cli. BTW why do you wan to use it and not Protection Manager ?

Thanks Adai.

Customer is heavily using vFilers and DR vFilers, and to my knowledge, PM has numerous limitations in that context.

Kind regards,

Michel

Hi Michel,

Thats true, OCUM doesnt support vFiler DR and support vFiler only via vFiler0 or physical filer.

Why dont you try this NMC plugin for vFiler DR.

PM does not officially support vFiler DR but there is a plug in available to support this that was created outside of the PM team. see here https://communities.netapp.com/groups/nmc-vfiler-plugin?view=documents
