Test SnapDiff with NetApp Infinite Volumes in Cluster mode

We need to have SnapDiff tested in Infinite Volumes on NetApps cluster mode. We currently are using NetApps 7-mode, but are in the process of upgrading these appliances to cluter mode. NetApp documentation states third party SnapDiff works in Infinite Volumes. We need this supported by IBM.

    Yes, the only way SnapDiff will work is with Infinite Volumes. Normal incremental backups work with Cluster mode.

    Thank you for this request. We do have plans to support cluster mode and will provide an update when this capability is delivered. However, it is our understanding that moving to cluster mode does not require forced movement to infinite volumes. That being said, do you still require infinite volume support?
