Data OnTap 7.2 family versus the Data OnTap 7.3 family

unixdiskms — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:32:44 GMT

What is the difference between Data OnTap 7.2 & 7.3?

I want to be able to understand where the 7.2 & 7.3 families are going.

Also, do we know when SnapLock will be supported in the 7.3 family?

When you have access to the netapp university there is a nice free course:

Data ONTAP Release 7.3 Update

This will give you a good view of all new features!

Where can I find the free course?

The only thing I find is a course at the University named NetApp Data ONTAP Release 7.3 Update, but it costs 225 USD.

Hi Joachim,

The release notes (http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel73/html/ontap/rnote/frameset.html) go into detail on the changes and new features associated version 7.3.

As for SnapLock, I'd recommend you contact your local NetApp or partner SE for more info.

Cheers, Tony
