Domino Volumes for NetApp ONTAP (NetApp Volumes) let Domino practitioners share data more easily across projects by storing files on external NetApp-backed storage. They enhance performance, eliminate duplication, and provide snapshot-based recovery.
This feature replaces scattered, project-specific data solutions with a centralized system. NetApp Volumes live inside ONTAP Filesystems, which define where the data is stored and how it’s managed.
A NetApp ONTAP Filesystem defines where NetApp Volumes live by linking a dataplane and storage class to a named storage container. It helps with:
-
Clear visibility into where volumes are stored.
-
Support for multiple accounts and dataplanes, which is essential due to per-account volume limits.
-
Improved deletion flow by allowing volumes to be moved to cold storage instead of being permanently deleted. This makes it easier to enforce retention policies while reducing the risk of accidental data loss.
This section provides a detailed walkthrough for manually setting up the NetApp Volumes feature in a Domino deployment.
It is intended for administrators who need complete control over the infrastructure and who are deploying into AWS environments.
