Contributors netapp-pcarriga netapp-revathid

ONTAP Select supports most ONTAP features. 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 ONTAP features are supported with ONTAP Select and licensed by default:

  • Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) (manual updates)

  • CIFS

  • Deduplication and compression

  • FlexCache

    There are limitations to the support for FlexCache write-back with ONTAP Select. For more information, refer to FlexCache write-back with ONTAP Select.

  • FlexClone

  • iSCSI

  • NDMP

  • NetApp Volume Encryption (non-restricted countries only)

  • NFS

  • NVMe over TCP

  • ONTAP multitenancy capability

  • ONTAP S3

  • S3 SnapMirror

  • SnapLock Select

    SnapLock Select is the implementation of ONTAP SnapLock designed for ONTAP Select and includes SnapLock Enterprise. It does not include SnapLock Compliance.

  • SnapMirror

  • SnapRestore

  • SnapVault

  • Storage VM disaster recovery (SVM DR)

    Note ONTAP Select 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 need to acquire a separate license for any ONTAP feature that is not enabled by default, including:

Note
  • For ONTAP Select 9.16.1 and earlier, SnapLock Select (including tamperproof snapshot locking) is available from the NetApp Support Site.

  • SnapLock Compliance is not supported for ONTAP Select.

  • You do not need a FabricPool license when utilizing StorageGRID.
