Netapp FAS 8020 ONTAP 9.8P18 Support Direct Connection multiple Fibre Channel HBA

Question

Hello Everybody,

Netapp community,

My Name Heru , beginner storage engineer.

Can I Ask is that Netapp FAS 8020 ONTAP version 9.8P18 can support direct connection point to point topology Fibre Channel HBA with server running Redhat Linux Ent 10 ?   Thank you for your answers.

Unfortunately that won't be possible.

FAS8020 only supports maximum ONTAP 9.8. So you're already on the newest version.

I am a DII guy and not an Ontap guy, but I believe you would need to be on a dramatically newer Ontap release to support that. I also don't know which Ontap releases are supported on what hardware.
