I've asked the product marketing folks to take a look at this. I don't know how our license database works, but it seems to me that even if we don't know all the add-on licenses that have been purchased, we could at least figure out how to let a home user have access to a base ONTAP release approrpiate for the system. I'm sure there are legal and operational issues, so no promises, but if other companies have figured this out, it seems like we ought to be able to.
Rock on!
I look forward to this if it can be done.
Three tier system might be cool if possible:
Home user/hobbyist (new/supported and not new/supported) Non-profit reuse (new/supported and not new/supported) Commercial (relicensing via realistic pricing, new/supported)
So each tier has 2 items in it.
I would *love* to be able to get a netapp at home...our old F210 is just about out of production and I am taking it home. It isn't fast, it doesn't have a lot of disk (single shelf, 4GB drives) but wow, it is reliable...
