What SnapDrive does not do

Some functionality is currently not supported in SnapDrive for Windows.

A LUN managed by SnapDrive cannot be configured as a “dynamic” disk (a storage device that is divided into volumes rather than partitions); it can serve only as a “basic” disk (a storage device for host-side application data).
A LUN cannot be configured as an extended partition. SnapDrive supports only a single, primary partition on a LUN.
LUNs created in FilerView or at the storage system command line cannot be managed unless certain steps are taken to prepare these disks for SnapDrive.
SnapDrive supports LUNs on qtrees, but you cannot manage quotas from SnapDrive.
LUNs can be created within a qtree and quota limits for that qtree are enforced; therefore, you cannot create a LUN or expand an existing LUN beyond the quota limit set for that qtree.
SnapDrive supports the use of SnapMirror to replicate volumes but not individual qtrees.
