- Deciding whether to use the MetroCluster IP Installation and Configuration Guide
This guide describes how to install and configure the MetroCluster IP hardware and software components. - Preparing for the MetroCluster installation
As you prepare for the MetroCluster installation, you should understand the MetroCluster hardware architecture and required components. - Configuring the MetroCluster hardware components
The MetroCluster components must be physically installed, cabled, and configured at both geographic sites. - Configuring the MetroCluster software in ONTAP
You must set up each node in the MetroCluster configuration in ONTAP, including the node-level configurations and the configuration of the nodes into two sites. You must also implement the MetroCluster relationship between the two sites. - Configuring the ONTAP Mediator service for unplanned automatic switchover
Starting with ONTAP 9.7, the ONTAP Mediator service can assist the MetroCluster IP configuration in performing an automatic unplanned switchover by providing a physically separate repository for status information. - Testing the MetroCluster configuration
You can test failure scenarios to confirm the correct operation of the MetroCluster configuration. - Considerations when removing MetroCluster configurations
After removing the MetroCluster configuration, all disk connectivity and interconnects should be adjusted to be in a supported state. If you need to remove the MetroCluster configuration, contact technical support. - Considerations when using ONTAP in a MetroCluster configuration
When using ONTAP in a MetroCluster configuration, you should be aware of certain considerations for licensing, peering to clusters outside the MetroCluster configuration, performing volume operations, NVFAIL operations, and other ONTAP operations. - Where to find additional information
You can learn more about MetroCluster IP configuration and operation from the Lenovo documentation library. - Contacting Support
