ONTAP Select offers full support for most ONTAP functionality. Many of the ONTAP features are licensed automatically for each node when you deploy a cluster. However some features require a separate license.

Note ONTAP features that have hardware-specific dependencies are generally not supported with ONTAP Select.

ONTAP features automatically enabled by default

The following features are included with ONTAP Select and licensed by default:

  • CIFS

  • Deduplication and compression

  • FlexCache

  • FlexClone

  • iSCSI

  • NDMP

  • NetApp Volume Encryption (non-restricted countries only)

  • NFS

  • NVMe over TCP

  • ONTAP multitenancy capability

  • SnapMirror

  • SnapRestore

  • SnapVault

  • Storage VM disaster recovery (SVM DR)

    Note ONTAP Select 9.12.1 and later now supports SVM DR as both a source and destination with a maximum of 16 relationships. SVM DR support is limited to the use of the source ONTAP version to versions +2. For example, the ONTAP Select 9.12.1 source can connect to destination ONTAP versions 9.12.1, 9.13.1, or 9.14.1.

ONTAP features that are separately licensed

You must acquire a separate license for any ONTAP feature that is not enabled by default, including:

  • Data Availability Service

  • FabricPool

  • MetroCluster SDS (ONTAP Select premium license offering)

  • ONTAP S3 (zero cost)

  • SnapLock Enterprise (SnapLock Compliance is not supported for ONTAP Select)

    • Tamperproof Snapshot copies

Note You do not need a FabricPool license when utilizing StorageGRID Webscale.
