Answer

  • Yes, SVM Data Mobility in ONTAP 9.14.1 or later supports migration of SVMs that contain qtrees.
  • ONTAP 9.14.1 adds support for migrating SVMs containing user and group quotas or qtrees with SVM data mobility.
 
What's new in ONTAP 9.14.1 (netapp.com)
 
Note:  For migration of SVMs containing qtrees, both the source and destination of the vserver migrate command must be running ONTAP 9.14.1 or later.  Refer to prerequisites for additional considerations.

Earlier ONTAP versions and support for qtrees

  • ONTAP 9.13.1 or earlier do not offer support for migrating SVMs that contain qtrees.
  • If the vserver migrate command  is used to migrate a SVM containing qtrees, and the SVM is hosted on ONTAP 9.13.1 or earlier, the vserver migrate command will  fail:

Error: command failed: Cannot migrate Vserver <svm name> because a non-default
       qtree <qtree name> exists on thevolume <volume name>.  Migrating Vservers
       containing non-default qtrees is notsupported.  To view all non-default
       qtrees on the Vserver, run "volumeqtree show -vserver <svm name> -qtree
       !""".  To delete qtrees, run "volume qtree delete".
