The virtual appliance for Virtual Storage Console (VSC), VASA Provider, and Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) supports environments that use MetroCluster configurations for ONTAP. Most of this support is automatic; however, you might notice a few differences when you use a MetroCluster environment with VSC and VASA Provider.
You must ensure that VSC discovers the storage system controllers at the primary site and the secondary site. Normally, VSC automatically discovers storage controllers. If you are using a cluster management LIF, it is a good practice to verify that VSC discovered the clusters at both sites. Otherwise, you can manually add the storage controllers to VSC. You can also modify the user name and password pairs that VSC uses to connect to the storage controllers.
When a switchover or switchback occurs, VSC might take a few minutes to automatically detect and discover the clusters. If this happens while you are performing a VSC operation such as provisioning a datastore, you might experience a delay.
VASA Provider automatically supports environments that use MetroCluster configurations. The switchover is transparent in VASA Provider environments. You cannot add direct SVMs to VASA Provider.
SRA does not support MetrroCluster configurations.
