Explain interaction between dataLIF, FQDN, and SAN
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Mention that FQDN support is NAS-only, and explain that for SAN,
not specifying a dataLIF enables multipathing and specifying a
dataLIF disables multipathing.

A fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) can be specified for the managementLIF and dataLIF options. The ontap-san driver
selects an IP address from the FQDN lookup for the dataLIF. The ontap-nas, ontap-nas-economy, and ontap-nas-flexgroup

A fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) can be specified for the managementLIF option. For the ontap-nas*
drivers only, a FQDN may also be specified for the dataLIF option, in which case the FQDN will
be used for the NFS mount operations. For the ontap-san driver, the default is to use all data LIF IPs from
the SVM and to use iSCSI multipath. Specifying an IP address for the dataLIF for the ontap-san driver forces
the driver to disable multipath and use only the specified address.

For the ontap-nas and ontap-nas-economy drivers, an additional top level option is available.

You can control how each volume is provisioned by default using these options
in a special section of the configuration. For an example, see the
