 Does 8.2.1 7-mode supports vvols for vsphere6?

this is a 8020

thanks

Hi,

ONTAP 8.3 supports vVols so you need to upgrade there.

The only offical requirements I have seen from NetApp are as follows:

• VSC 5.0.1 Beta
• VASA Provider 6.0 for clustered Data ONTAP Beta
• clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.1

However, the beta software no longer works with VVOL.

VSC and VSAP VP 6.0 will be released 'very soon' and will provide full support from what I understand.

I like this idea of very soon.  Hope its true!

IS this true that vvol is not supported on 7 mode anymore? We are running on 7 mode only and will not be upgrading to cluster mode. 

what options available?

think it is only supported in cdot from the documentation i can find, no reference to supporting 7 mode unfortunately.
