Compatible ONTAP versions for SnapMirror relationships
You should verify that the source and destination volumes are running compatible ONTAP versions before creating a SnapMirror data protection relationship.
Note
Version-independence is not supported for SVM replication.
SnapMirror DR relationships
For SnapMirror relationships of type DP
and policy type async-mirror
:
Note
This table includes SnapMirror DP release interoperability up to ONTAP 9.9, at which time DP relationships will be automatically converted to XDP.
| A source volume in ONTAP version... | Can have a destination volume in ONTAP versions… | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9.4 | 9.5 | 9.6 | 9.7 | 9.8 | |
| 9.4 | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| 9.5 | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| 9.6 | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 9.7 | No | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| 9.8 | No | No | No | No | Yes |
Note
Interoperability is not bidirectional.
Unified replication relationships
For SnapMirror relationships of type XDP
(available in ONTAP 9.5 and later):
| ONTAP version... | Interoperates with previous ONTAP versions… | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9.4 | 9.5 | 9.6 | 9.7 | 9.8 | 9.9 | |
| 9.4 | Yes | - | - | - | - | - |
| 9.5 | Yes | Yes | - | - | - | - |

| 9.9 | - | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Note
Locate the higher, more recent ONTAP version in the left column, and in the right column locate the lower ONTAP version to determine interoperability. Interoperability is bidirectional.
