  • NetApp Trident 24.10.0
  • ONTAP NAS Economy volumes

Answer

No, while Trident can provision ONTAP NAS economy volumes,  the capability to snapshot these volumes is not exposed through Trident, and would need to be configured in the snapshot policy defined on the ONTAP backend.

Additional Information

From the Integrate Trident documentation:

From the Trident FAQs:

How do I take a snapshot backup of a volume provisioned by Trident with ONTAP?
This is available on ontap-nas, ontap-san, and ontap-nas-flexgroup drivers. You can also specify a snapshotPolicy for the ontap-san-economy driver at the FlexVol level.

This is also available on the ontap-nas-economy drivers but on the FlexVol volume level granularity and not on the qtree level granularity. To enable the ability to snapshot volumes provisioned by Trident, set the backend parameter option snapshotPolicy to the desired snapshot policy as defined on the ONTAP backend. Any snapshots taken by the storage controller are not known by Trident.
