Setting up namespaces for NVMe | ONTAP

NVMe namespaces considerations
There are certain considerations you should be aware of when working with NVMe namespaces.

Configuring an SVM for NVMe
If you want to use the NVMe protocol on a node, you must configure your SVM specifically for NVMe.

Creating an NVMe namespace and subsystem
For systems using the NVMe protocol, you must create one or more NVMe namespaces and subsystems. Each namespace can then be mapped to an NVMe subsystem to allow data access from your host system.

Mapping an NVMe namespace to a subsystem
You must map a namespace to a subsystem when using NVMe.
