What are the restrictions of TDP relationships?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- 7-Mode Transition Tool (7MTT)
- Data ONTAP 7-Mode
- Transition Data Protection (TDP)
Answer
- TDP type of relationships are not supported for regular data protection
- The relationships between 7-Mode and ONTAP clusters are supported only for transition/migration thru 9.11.1
- Relationships transferring data from ONTAP cluster to 7-Mode are not supported
- it is not possible to resynchronize data from an ONTAP volume back to a 7-Mode volume
- TDP relationships are not supported with MetroCluster switchover/switchback operations
- SVM-DR is not supported between 7-Mode and ONTAP clusters
- SVM-DR does not support TMP type volumes as sources
- You can cut over the transition and create SVM-DR between ONTAP clusters, but you will need to specify the relation type as DP and later convert it to XDP due to pre 8.2 snapshots
- Cascades that involve TDP relationships are not supported
- The destination volume of an active SnapMirror TDP relationship cannot be used as the source for another SnapMirror relationship
- Relationships transferring data from ONTAP cluster to 7-Mode are not supported
- Verify the interoperability for a TDP relationship
- Support for TDP was dropped in ONTAP 9.12.1 and later
- Support for TDP was dropped in ONTAP 9.12.1 and later
