Hi Peter, http://www.netapp.com/us/library/technical-reports/tr-3864.html   was written for users that wanted to give users the bare minimum for very high security sites.  The easiest way to implement RBAC would be to use the DFM solution as you can modify,create,delete the roles & users from within the DFM interface.  The method described in the TR is for manual lockdown of the roles and apis from the storage cli.  @shaunjurr , yes the cli string limit is an extreme pita when the command gets lengthy!!! ...

HI Brendon, The release was pulled due issues with snapmirror and hyper-v lun enumeration. 1) SDW 6.3.1 does not recognize SnapMirror relationship for LUNs in a Qtree 2) SDW 6.3.1 does not enumerate Hyper-V shared LUNs ina non-CSV (Clustered Shared Volume) configuration. Recommendation: If you have already installed SDW 6.3.1 and are having issues with these specific issues then customers are advised to downgrade to SD 6.3P2. http://now.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/snapdrive_win/6.3P2/ For all other situations:  SDW 6.2.1 is GA and SDW 6.3 is FCS and available on the NOW site. ...

For use snapmirror with snapdrive you need to create the volumes, create the snapmirror relationship, remove the snapmirror schedule, create the LUN via Snapdrive.  When a snapshot is created in Snapdrive it will automatically kick off a snapmirror replication.  You can also manually kick off replication but everything needs to be from Snapdrive.
