I understand that this is pending, but what is this going to look like? Is this going to be a SAS-FC bridge? If so, does this open any options for customers expanding an existing MetroCluster by adding SAS shelves attached via FC? Are there going to be any restrictions on MetroCluster config and Data ONTAP version? Will the support also be open for SSD? Sorry for the question dump! 🙂

I have a number of customers keen to get some new SAS shelves into the MetroCluster config, and a few customers stalling on purchasing a MetroCluster and committing to old DS14 technology.
