Is it supported to move from a Fabric Metro Cluster to a Stretched one?

Hi All,

In the documenmtation, there's a procedure to migrate from a Strecteched to a Fabric, but no mention about the other way around. Is there anybody who already did that? Is it supported?

Many Thanks

Stefano Tedeschi

Hi Stefano,

it is supported, just not documented and pretty rare.

Simply perform the steps in reverse order (well - don't know if it's that easy, but it's definitely not rocket science...)
