Can I use SVM DR to migrate a SVM to a later ONTAP version
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.x
- SVM DR
Answer
- SVM DR for migration or ONTAP upgrades supports a target that is at most two versions later than the source
- For example, SVM DR could be used to migrate a SVM from ONTAP 9.10.1 to either ONTAP 9.11.0 or ONTAP 9.11.1
Note: The above only applies to migration, not Disaster Recovery
- For Disaster Recovery, rather than migration, SVM DR does not support version interoperability
- For Disaster Recovery, source and destination Cluster need to be the same ONTAP version
