Contributors netapp-pcarriga netapp-jsnyder netapp-perveilerk netapp-lhalbert

Learn about features and capabilities that have been removed or deprecated in StorageGRID 12.1.0. Before you upgrade, check whether any removed or deprecated features affect your client applications or grid configuration.

Definitions

Deprecated

You should not use the feature in new production environments. Existing production environments can continue using the feature.

End of Life

Last shipped version that supports the feature. In some cases, documentation for the feature might be removed at this stage.

Removed

First version that does not support the feature.

StorageGRID end of feature support

Deprecated features will be removed in N+2 major versions. For example, if a feature is deprecated in version N (for example, 6.3), the last version where the feature will exist is N+1 (for example, 6.4). Version N+2 (for example, 6.5) is the first release when the feature doesn't exist in the product.

See the Software Version Support page for additional information.

Note In certain situations, NetApp might end support for particular features sooner than indicated.
