Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.5+
  • MetroCluster
  • SVM DR

Answer

MetroCluster as the source of the SVM-DR
  • Starting with ONTAP 9.5, SnapMirror storage virtual machine (SVM) replication is supported on MetroCluster configurations with a limitation to one side of MetroCluster
  • The source SVM DR relationship information is replicated to the MetroCluster DR Site
  • Vservers that are part of a MetroCluster configuration can act as source for only one Vserver DR relationship.
MetroCluster as the destination of the SVM-DR
  • Starting with ONTAP 9.5, SnapMirror storage virtual machine (SVM) replication is supported with MetroCluster as the destination via a process documented in TR-4966.
  • There is a limitation of only SVM's hosting NAS services.
  • Only a single SVM can be migrated at a time.
  • See TR-4966 for all requirements and limitations.
MetroCluster as the source and destination of the SVM-DR
  • Not supported.
