proxmox netapp c-mode plugin
This module do the integration of netapp san array into proxmox. Template,clones,snapshots, snapshots rollback are done on the netapp array
download libpve-storage-perl_XXX_all.deb in releases, and install it on your proxmox host with
dpkg -i libpve-storage-perl_XXX_all.deb
You need to use Cluster Mode You need to have flexvol license, and snaprestore license

An aggregate is a raid-dp of x disk.
Each aggregate have differents volumes, 1 by vm.
NETAPP CLUSTER MODE, LOGICAL VIEW
---------------------------------
A virtual server is defined on top of the physical cluster
-----------------------------------
| VSERVER |
| (NFS ips, 1 by node) |
| [vm1][vm2][vm3][vm4][vm5]... |
-----------------------------------
Each node is a nfs metadatas server.
You only need to mount nfs on 1 metadataserver to access the whole vserver
NFS VIEW
---------
We only mount the root
mymetadataserver:/ /mnt/pve/netapp-vservername

Eech vm have a volume in the storage.(volume name can't be only numeric, so I prefix them with "vm".vmid.
Each node is limited to 500volumes, that why I don't have 1 volume by disk.
We can move volume in realtime in the cluster, from 1 aggreate to another aggregate. (in netapp interface for now)
