There are certain features that do not support volume rehost.

The following features do not support volume rehost:

  • SVM DR

  • MetroCluster configurations

    Note Cloning a volume as a FlexClone volume on a different SVM is also not supported on MetroCluster configurations.

  • SnapLock volumes

  • NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) volumes (in versions of ONTAP before 9.8)

    In ONTAP releases prior to 9.8, you must unencrypt the volume before rehosting it. Volume encryption keys depend on SVM keys. If a volume is moved to another SVM and if multitenant key configuration is enabled on either the source or destination SVM, the volume and the SVM keys will not match.

    Beginning in ONTAP 9.8, you can rehost a volume with NVE.

  • FlexGroup volumes

  • Clone volumes
