Does ONTAP support SMB multichannel?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Clustered Data ONTAP
- Data ONTAP 7-Mode
Answer
- SMB Multichannel features are supported starting in ONTAP 9.4
- SMB Multichannel features are NOT supported in any ONTAP release before ONTAP 9.4
- SMB Multichannel - Provides multiple connections between ONTAP and clients in a single SMB session. Doing so improves throughput and fault tolerance for Hyper-V and SQL server over SMB configurations.
