ONTAP Select Compatibility with VMware vCenter Standard License
Applies to
- ONTAP Select (All versions)
- VMware vCenter Standard License
- VMware ESXi (8.0.3 and similar)
Issue
Customers planning to migrate ONTAP Select (OTS) instances from a VMware vCenter environment licensed with Enterprise Plus to a new vCenter environment using a Standard license need confirmation if OTS supports this and what considerations apply.
Example environment/context:
- OTS instance running on ESXi hosts, managed by vCenter with Enterprise Plus license
- Plan to downgrade vCenter Enterprise plus to Standard license
- OTS virtual ports groups (internal/intercluster, external/data, mgmt) currently configured using VMware Distributed Switch (DVS)
