Let's say, I create 2 different RAID configurations on a 3rd party array, I use one RAID configuration with V-Series and the other RAID configuration I use it without V-Series, using independent FC ports for each configuration.</P><P></P><P>Cheers.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:27:24 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Is-this-configuration-supported-with-V-Series/m-p/65204#M4489 ralfaro01zero 2025-06-05T06:27:24Z Re: Is this configuration supported with V-Series? https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Is-this-configuration-supported-with-V-Series/m-p/65208#M4490 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><DIV><P>Yes. We have customers doing this. The best practice is exactly what you wrote to have dedicated ports for the v-series. </P></DIV></BODY></HTML> Sat, 12 May 2012 00:31:16 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Is-this-configuration-supported-with-V-Series/m-p/65208#M4490 scottgelb 2012-05-12T00:31:16Z Re: Is this configuration supported with V-Series? https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Hardware/Is-this-configuration-supported-with-V-Series/m-p/65215#M4491 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Great, that's good news!.
