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.

  • The ONTAP Mediator service and MetroCluster Tiebreaker software should not both be used with the same MetroCluster configuration.
  • The ONTAP Mediator service can support up to five MetroCluster configurations simultaneously.
