Metrocluster IP active-passive cluster and AFF

rafaelkelles — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:28:25 GMT

Hi,

Can I have an MetroCluster IP using AFF (like A400 or A800) with active-passive cluster, I mean, one cluster has all pool0 disks and the other cluster has all pool1 disks?

When I tried to do that on Fusion, I can´t change aggregate configuration, so it seems to me that I can´t have active-passive cluster using MCC IP and AFF.

Can anyone clarify this to me?

Regards, Rafael.
