7-Mode Transition to HCI?

TMADOCTHOMAS — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:12:51 GMT

We are looking at various options for upgrading the NetApp environment in our remote offices from 7-mode 2220s to either cdot 2620s, commodity hardware with cdot OnTAP Select, or possibly HCI running cdot OnTAP Select. Does anyone know if you can perform 7-mode transitions to OnTAP Select running on HCI hardware?

The 7-Mode Transition Tool (7MTT) version 3.3 (Release September 2017) adds ONTAP Select as a destination for Copy-Base-Transitions (CBT) - https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/ntap_7mtt/3.3/ - this is supported irregardless of backend/HCI platform.

Hope this helps!
