You must be aware of certain considerations when using SAN configurations in a MetroCluster environment.
-
MetroCluster configurations do not support front-end FC fabric “routed” vSAN configurations.
-
Beginning with ONTAP 9.15.1, four-node MetroCluster IP configurations are supported on NVMe/TCP.
-
Beginning with ONTAP 9.12.1, four-node MetroCluster IP configurations are supported on NVMe/FC. MetroCluster configurations are not supported for front-end NVMe networks before ONTAP 9.12.1.
-
Other SAN protocols such as iSCSI, FC, and FCoE are supported on MetroCluster configurations.
-
When using SAN client configurations, you must check whether any special considerations for MetroCluster configurations are included in the notes that are provided in the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT).
-
Operating systems and applications must provide an I/O resiliency of 120 seconds to support MetroCluster automatic unplanned switchover and Tiebreaker or Mediator-initiated switchover.
-
MetroCluster configurations use the same WWNNs and WWPNs on both sides of the front-end FC fabric.
