Support For 840 Disk Drives On Fabric-Attached Metrocluster Configuration; Support For Out-Of-Order Frame Delivery For Snapmirror Over Fibre Channel; Support For Snapmirror Relationship Between Two Flexclone Volumes; Support For Snapmirror Network Compression - IBM N Series Manual

In Data ONTAP 8.0 and Data ONTAP 8.0.1 7-Mode, SnapVault uses a named
Snapshot copy and not the Snapshot copy created by volume SnapMirror to
update the destination system.

Support for 840 disk drives on fabric-attached MetroCluster configuration

In Data ONTAP 7.3.5 and later releases of 7.x release family, Data ONTAP
8.0.1 and later releases of 8.x release family, fabric-attached MetroCluster
configurations can support up to 840 disk drives.

Support for out-of-order frame delivery for SnapMirror over Fibre Channel

Data ONTAP 8.0.1 and later support out-of-order frame delivery for
SnapMirror over Fibre Channel.
When enabled, out-of-order frame delivery for SnapMirror over Fibre Channel
eliminates the requirement to deliver all the frames in the same sequence in
which the frames were transmitted. This feature ensures the uninterrupted
SnapMirror transfers regardless of the order in which the frames are
delivered.
For more information about out-of-order frame delivery, see Data ONTAP 8.0
7-Mode Data Protection Online Backup and Recovery Guide.

Support for SnapMirror relationship between two FlexClone volumes

Data ONTAP 8.0.1 and later support SnapMirror relationship between two
FlexClone volumes.
The SnapMirror relationship between two FlexClone volumes that have the
common base Snapshot copy helps in establishing a SnapMirror relationship
without transferring the common Snapshot data again to the destination
system.
For more information about SnapMirror relationship between two FlexClone
volumes, see Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode Data Protection Online Backup and
Recovery Guide.

Support for SnapMirror network compression

Data ONTAP 7.3.2 and later releases of the 7.x release family, and Data
ONTAP 8.0.1 and later releases of 8.x release family support SnapMirror
network compression. This feature is supported only for asynchronous
volume SnapMirror.
