I just moved my Hyper-V VMs from 2012R2 to 2019.  SnapManager fails to create application-consistent backups.  There is a support article that simply says "Install the Host Guardian Service" without any consideration to the additional overhead this causes.   I work in a small shop and the steps needed are onerous.   I swear that NetApp backup products across the board have gotten worse, almost to the point of being unusable in the past 10 years.   Can someone tell me if NetApp plans on addressing this shortcoming or are the customers SOL? ...

Dear PowerShell community, We are glad to announce the release of the NetApp® ONTAP® 9.9.1.2106 PowerShell Toolkit.   PowerShell Toolkit Upgrade and Backward Compatibility   The toolkit name has been changed from DataONTAP to NetApp.ONTAP. To provide backward compatibility i.e. existing scripts compatibility and to allow users to import the module using the previous name, complete the following steps:   PowerShell Gallery   Use cmdlet uninstall-module DataONTAP if an older package is available. Use cmdlet install-module NetApp.ONTAP to install the ONTAP 9.9.1.2106 package. Execute the following two commands. Before executing these commands, ensure that “C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\NetApp.ONTAP” exists. This is the default location where the PowerShell gallery install module resides. If this location has been updated, update the path accordingly. New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path ("C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\DataONTAP") -Target ("C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\NetApp.ONTAP") New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path ("C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\DataONTAP\9.9.1.2106\DataONTAP.psd1") -Target ("C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\DataONTAP\9.9.1.2106\NetApp.ONTAP.psd1") Once the commands have completed, import the module using both names “DataONTAP” and “NetApp.ONTAP”.  NetApp ToolChest   Download the package from the ToolChest. Extract the package. Execute Install.ps1 and enter the location where you want to update the existing package or do a fresh installation. Once the command has completed, import the module using both names “DataONTAP” and “NetApp.ONTAP”.
