What’s new in MetroCluster configuration support for ONTAP features
Each release of the ONTAP 9 data management software delivers new and enhanced features that improve the capabilities, manageability, and performance of ONTAP MetroCluster configurations.
| Supported features in MetroCluster configuration | Description | Available beginning |
|---|---|---|
SVM data mobility support for migrating MetroCluster configurations |
ONTAP supports the following MetroCluster SVM migrations:
|
ONTAP 9.16.1 |
MD5 authentication support for BGP peer groups |
ONTAP supports MD5 authentication on BGP peer groups to protect BGP sessions. When MD5 is enabled, BGP sessions can only be established and processed among authorized peers, preventing potential disruptions of the session by an unauthorized actor. |
ONTAP 9.16.1 |
MetroCluster IP support for NVMe |
The NVMe/TCP front-end host protocol is supported on four-node MetroCluster IP configurations. |
ONTAP 9.15.1 |
S3 object storage support on mirrored and unmirrored aggregates |
You can enable an S3 object storage server on an SVM in a mirrored or unmirrored aggregate in MetroCluster IP and FC configurations. |
ONTAP 9.14.1 |
Support for provisioning an S3 bucket on mirrored and unmirrored aggregates in a MetroCluster cluster |
You can create a bucket on a mirrored or unmirrored aggregate in MetroCluster configurations. |
ONTAP 9.12.1 |
MetroCluster IP support for NVMe |
The NVMe/FC protocol is supported on four-node MetroCluster IP configurations. |
