Manage the ONTAP Mediator with System Manager in MetroCluster IP configurations
Using System Manager, you can perform tasks to manage ONTAP Mediator.
Beginning with ONTAP 9.8, you can use System Manager as a simplified interface for managing a four-node MetroCluster IP configuration, which can include an ONTAP Mediator installed in a third location.
Beginning with ONTAP 9.14.1, you can use System Manager to also perform these operations for an eight-node MetroCluster IP site. Although you can't set up or expand an eight-node system with System Manager, if you have already set up an eight-node MetroCluster IP system, then you can perform these operations.
