ONTAP 7-Mode Transition

Exceptions and known issues when transitioning SAN hosts to ONTAP

Contributors

You should be aware of certain exceptions and known issues when transitioning SAN hosts from Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode to later versions of ONTAP.

  • For transitioning Hyper-Virtual Machine (VMs) with only VHD or VHDX file types, you can use storage live migration instead of the 7-Mode Transition Tool (7MTT).

    For details about Hyper-V storage live migration, see the Microsoft documentation.

  • If you used the same igroup name on both nodes of the 7-Mode controller, the transition tool might fail to resolve the igroup conflict.
