When creating or deleting an ONTAP Select cluster using the Python code samples, you must provide a JSON file as input to the script. You can copy and modify the appropriate JSON sample based on your deployment plans.

Single-node cluster on KVM

Note

  • Beginning with ONTAP Select 9.10.1, you can no longer deploy a new cluster on the KVM hypervisor.

  • Beginning with ONTAP Select 9.11.1, all manageability functionality is no longer available for existing KVM clusters and hosts, except for the take offline and delete functions.
