We were using SMVI to backup all of our VMFS volumes. This worked great using the Virtual Storage console for VMWare. Now that we've upgraded our VMWare environment we are forced to use SnapCenter plugin. This plug in works fine, however lacks the ability to use the generic naming convention for the snapshots. Since we still do NDMP dumps to tape it is important that we could use the generic naming convention of _recent. That functionality is no longer there. I have a case opened with NetApp, but i have a feeling this is functionality the Snap team deserted. Its frustrating that NetApp would replace one product with another and not at a minimum have the same functionality.
