Metrocluster IP with AFF-A70 24disks

SysHsLee — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 06:40:09 GMT

Hello.

I am currently installing a metrocluster ip system with two AFF-A70 with 24disk each ADP2 setting.

ONTAP ver. 9.16.1P6

I am having a technical difficulties with setting up as a Active/Passive mode.

What I am intending is for one cluster to serve only data and mirror on the other, once switched over the mirror cluster would serve as a data role.

Is there a guide or methods to make one system to serve data on one cluster and mirror standby on the another?

Or is it simply not possible to set it up on metrocluster ip?

I am trying a few other methods but it seems not to work at all.

These are the documents that I have been looking into.

You had to have some 1 aggr data per node.

So active/passive are waste of disk when you small amount of disk.

You can use fusion.netapp.com to find out if you can have a different number of disks assigned between two sites.
