ADP for AFF MetroCluster

[gmilazzoitag]

Hi all,

is there something in roadmap that will let use ADP in AFF systems used in a MetroCluster configurations?

Thinking to a simple two node 8020 AFF i.e. with 24x3.8 TB SSD it's a real waste to let more that 7 TB (R4 option) of flash to a dedicate root aggregate.

Thanks
