Snapshot tagging: Support for creating, modifying and deleting snapshot tags (SnapMirror labels and comments) for snapshots on FlexGroup volumes using the volume snapshot command.

Features supported beginning with ONTAP 9.13.1

Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) for FlexGroup volumes, including the following supported functionality:
- FlexGroup expand operations: A new member volume inherits Autonomous Ransomware Protection attributes.
- FlexVol to FlexGroup conversions: Conversions of FlexVols with active Autonomous Ransomware Protection is possible.
- FlexGroup rebalancing: Autonomous Ransomware Protection is supported during disruptive and non-disruptive rebalancing operations.
Schedule a single FlexGroup rebalancing operation.
SnapMirror fanout relationships with SVM DR on FlexGroup volumes. Supports fanout to eight sites.

Features supported beginning with ONTAP 9.12.1

FlexGroup rebalancing
SnapLock for SnapVault
FabricPool, FlexGroup, and SVM DR working in conjunction. (In releases earlier than ONTAP 9.12.1, any two of these features worked together, but not all three in conjunction.)
Large volume support increases FlexGroup volume member size from a maximum of 100TB to a maximum of 300TB.

You configure SnapLock at the FlexGroup level. You cannot configure SnapLock at the member volume level.

SVM disaster recovery

Cloning a FlexGroup volume that is part of an SVM DR relationship is not supported.
SnapMirror fanout relationships of 2 or more (A to B, A to C), with a maximum of 8 fanout legs.

Considerations for creating SnapMirror cascade and fanout relationships for FlexGroup volumes
SnapMirror cascading relationships up to two levels (A to B to C)

Considerations for creating SnapMirror cascade and fanout relationships for FlexGroup volumes

Restoring a single file from a FlexGroup SnapMirror vault or from a UDP destination
- Restore can be from a FlexGroup volume of any geometry to FlexGroup volume of any geometry
- Only one file per restore operation is supported
Converting volumes transitioned from 7-Mode systems to FlexGroup volumes
NFSv4.2
Asynchronous delete of files and directories
Files System Analytics (FSA)
FlexGroup as a VMware vSphere datastore
Additional support for tape backup and restore using NDMP, including the following features:
- NDMP restartable backup extension (RBE) and Snapshot Management Extension (SSME)
- Environment variables EXCLUDE and MULTI_SUBTREE_NAMES support FlexGroup backups
- Introduction of IGNORE_CTIME_MTIME environment variable for FlexGroup backups
- Individual file recovery in a FlexGroup using the NDMP_SNAP_RECOVER message, which is part of extension 0x2050 Dump and restore sessions are aborted during an upgrade or revert.
