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
