Trident should support the replication mechanism provided by SM-BC when using iSCSI protocols:
managing two SVM
managing the extended multipath provided by the "passive" SVM
Describe alternatives you've considered
We tried ONTAP Metro Cluster but the failover mechanism looks old fashion compared to SM-BC. This is a simple IP-based failover mode that does not use the multipath features of iSCSI.
Moreover, SM-BC has a fine-grained scope that allows us to replicate some volumes groups instead of the whole storage hardware.
