You are using AFF storage with the NVMe storage protocol on your Linux clients. In this scenario, which NVMe feature must be present and enabled for the client to see storage failover happen?
A- ANA - The ONTAP implementation of NVMe/FC requires application-level high availability. If a controller
loss or path failure occurs, the application host must manage path failover to its (application) HA
partner. This limitation exists because the NVMe multipathing specification called ANA,
analogous to ALUA in SCSI protocol, was still under development.
While implementing NVMe/FC, NetApp helped design the ANA protocol in the NVMe forum,
where it was recently ratified. A future release of ONTAP will offer support for this enhancement.
Since its NVME protocol and LINUX clients which use DM-multipathing and NOT MPIO (which is for Windows clients).
The feature would have to be ANA
