For best performance and highest availability, you should use the recommended FC target port configuration.
The following table shows the preferred port usage order for onboard FC and FC-NVMe target ports. For expansion adapters, the FC ports should be spread so that they do not use the same ASIC for connectivity. The preferred slot order is listed in NetApp Hardware Universe for the version of ONTAP software used by your controller.
FC-NVMe is supported on the following models:
-
AFF A300
The AFF A300 onboard ports do not support FC-NVMe.
-
AFF A700
-
AFF A700s
-
AFF A800
The FAS2520 systems do not have onboard FC ports and do not support add-on adapters. |

All data ports are on expansion adapters. See NetApp Hardware Universe for more information. |
