Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • SnapMirror
  • qtree 

  • Answer

  • No, Qtrees are special directories that allow the application of file system quotas for NAS
  • ONTAP allows creation of Qtrees, and Qtrees can exist in volumes that are replicated with SnapMirror
  • However, SnapMirror does not allow replication of individual qtrees or qtree-level replication because SnapMirror replications operates only at the volume level
    • While individual Qtree level replication is not supported, Qtrees inside a data volume will be replicated as a part of volume replication
