ONTAP 9

Enable or disable client access to Snapshot copy directory

Beginning with ONTAP 9.10.1, you can use ONTAP System Manager to enable or disable client systems to access to a Snapshot copy directory on a volume. Enabling access makes the Snapshot copy directory visible to clients and allows Windows clients to map a drive to the Snapshot copies directory to view and access its contents.

You can enable or disable access to a volume’s Snapshot copy directory by editing the volume settings or by editing the volume’s share settings.
