I'm happy to share with you that we have opened a public beta program for the upcoming release of System Manager 2.0. SM2 is the next generation of our GUI management tool that enables storage administrators to manage multiple arrays and storage elements from a single interface.
System Manager 2 provides a number of functions including but not limited to…
- Monitor and manage multiple physical and virtual storage arrays
- Configure and manage storage elements such as disks, aggregates, volumes, LUNs, qtrees, quotas, I/O interfaces, networking, etc…
- Provision and secure access for SAN (FC, FCoE, iSCSI) and NAS (NFS & SMB2 aka CIFS) storage
- Create, provision, and manage vFiler/vServer virtual storage arrays
- Configure, manage, and report on multi-array SnapMirror replication relationships
- Manage HA configurations such as execute controller takeover and giveback
- User management and role based access
- And much, much more…
The beta program is open to all NetApp customers and partners who manage FAS arrays in 7-Mode (a future beta program will open for customers who deploy in C-Mode). Registration and support for the beta program is available from the NetApp Community along with a large library of ‘how-to’ videos.

We’re looking forward to hearing your experiences and feedback on System Manager 2.0!
