IBM System Storage N Clustered NetApp Data Ontap Hardware

The following features are available on selected IBM System Storage N series machines.

• Clustered DOT Base License: This feature sets the base cluster license for a cDOT configuration. This is the primary feature of cDOT architecture. Only one machine in the cluster requires this feature as it generates the main cluster serial number and configuration to which all other nodes are added. Every system in the cluster should have the cluster machine identifier.
• Cluster machine identifier: This feature identifies the machine being ordered as a member of a cDOT cluster. It allows the system to be built using the cDOT licenses and clustered version of Data ONTAP. Set to “1” if the machine is part of a cDOT cluster. Set to “0” if the machine is to operate in 7 mode.
• CN1610 cluster interconnect switch: This switch is used for cluster communications in cDOT implementations.

Key prerequisites
Data ONTAP 8.2 running on a supported N series system.
