Applies to

  • Trident 24.06 and later
  • ONTAP 9 versions

Answer

  • The Trident documentation is not very specific about its ONTAP version support, although it mentions a version on the useREST parameter(*)
  • Due to the high development cycle of 4 month from version to version (since late 2023), current ONTAP versions.
  • The best way to check is to check the ONTAP major number release date (9.16.1, not later releases) from the Download site, and use a Trident version that came after (if possible).

Additional Information

For any ONTAP below 9.15.1, Trident will revert to using ONTAPI to access ONTAP for the needed functionality, which works with most ONTAP 9 releases,
although a release that is not End-Of-Version support is highly recommended - see "Software Version Support".
 
*) about specific usage of useREST:
  • ONTAP version up to 9.15.1 are still better off if you set the backend "useREST" option to "false"
  • At this time ASA R2 systems (ONTAP 9.16.1 minimum version) will require REST API usage, since ONTAPI is not implemented on these systems.
