It is simply a matter of qualification of releases.


If you have an ONTAP release you want to be supported, ping your account team and have them contact the IMT team to get it added.

Hi,

A customer of ours is planning to upgrade his Active Directory to Windows 2019, and is asking what the minimum required ONTAP version is with support for 2019 domains. 

From the IMT I get that only ONTAP 9.4 and 9.5 are (officially) supported, but this seems a bit drastic: just doing a bit of research on new AD features in Windows 2019 shows that there no real changes to the domain and forrest functional levels, and that they are functionally equivalent to 2016 domains.

Can anyone provide a little more insight or thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!

Filip
