Hi,
you don't need to convert lun's, you simply need to ensure that the lun is ready to be managed by SnapDrive:
that includes:
- ensure the lun is on netapp storage, formatted as ntfs, there is only one partition and the volume is basic (not dynamic).
- Furthermore, ensure the disk is online and if not a CSV disk, ensure there is a mount point or a drive letter.
- finally, of course you need top ensure SnapDrive credentials are set correctly as per our documentation: you have credentials for the local snapdrive service, credentials for the Storage System and so far I have mentioned the minimum required.
Additionally, you may need Vcenter credentials (if you have RDM lun's), VSC credentials (if SnapDrive needs to handle vmware vmdk disks), DFM credentials (if SnapDrive is supposed to request an ondemand snapvault update to Protection Manager when lun's are on a 7mode storage system).
at this point, you should be all set and able to perform operations like snapshot of lun, connect disk inside snapshots, disconnect, etc.
hope that helps,
