Answer

  • If you've already subscribed to the BlueXP subscription (PAYGO) in your cloud provider's marketplace, then you're automatically subscribed to BlueXP tiering for on-premises ONTAP systems as well.
  • You'll see an active subscription in the BlueXP tiering On-Premises dashboard tab. You won't need to subscribe again. You'll see an active subscription in the BlueXP digital wallet.
  • The BYOL BlueXP tiering license (previously known as a "Cloud Tiering" license) is a floating license that you can use across multiple on-premises ONTAP clusters in your BlueXP organization.
  • This is different (and much easier) than in the past where you purchased a FabricPool license for each cluster.
  • The new BlueXP tiering license was introduced in August 2021 for tiering configurations that are supported within BlueXP using the BlueXP tiering service.
  • BlueXP currently supports tiering to the cloud storage Azure Blob storage.
  • Tiering data from on-premises ONTAP clusters to Azure Blob storage
