The type of support for MetroCluster configurations that can use array LUNs differs according to Data ONTAP release.
In Data ONTAP releases prior to 8.2, support for MetroCluster configurations that use array LUNs is as follows:
In Data ONTAP 8.2, support for MetroCluster configurations with that use array LUNs is as follows:
Setting up a MetroCluster configuration with V-Series systems requires FibreBridge 6500N bridges and the native disks supported by this bridge. These requirements are the same for fabric-attached and stretch MetroCluster configurations.
Data ONTAP 8.2.1 and later includes the following:
See the Data ONTAP High Availability and MetroCluster Configuration Guide for 7-Mode for information about how to plan for and set up a MetroCluster configuration with storage arrays. If your MetroCluster configuration will include disks as well as array LUNs, also see the document Configuring a MetroCluster system with SAS disk shelves and FibreBridge 6500N bridges.
