PDFs
The port usage in a MetroCluster IP configuration depends on the switch model and platform type.
Review the following considerations before using the configuration tables:
-
At least one MetroCluster configuration or DR group must support switch-attached NS224 shelves.
-
Platforms that do not support switch-attached NS224 shelves can only be connected as a second MetroCluster configuration or as a second DR group.
-
The RcfFileGenerator only shows eligible platforms when the first platform is selected.
-
Connecting one eight-node or two four-node MetroCluster configurations requires ONTAP 9.14.1 or later.
Choose the correct cabling table for your configuration
Review the correct port assignments table for your configuration. There are two sets of cabling tables in this section:
