NetApp Community Update
This site will enter Read Only mode on July 23 as we prepare to move to a new platform. You will still be able to view content, but posting and replying will be temporarily disabled. We're excited to launch our new Community experience on July 30 and more information will follow soon. Stay connected during the transition - Join our Discord community today.
just to add for completeness. There is a MetroCluster compliant switch configuration that allows you to use your own switches (if the switches fulfill the requirements). But completely switch less is not possible.
