The NetApp® E-Series Plug-in for Intel® Manager for Lustre® is a Storage Plug-in that provides integrated management of NetApp E-series storage arrays from within a Lustre Manager Client. The Manager for Lustre Client is a single management interface that you can use to manage the Lustre infrastructure and all of your day-to-day storage needs. You do not need to learn another management tool, so you can focus instead on the entire luster infrastructure.
