| Category | Unsupported Feature | Rationale / Alternative |
|-----------|--------------------|--------------------------|
| **Replication & DR** | SnapMirror, SnapVault | Planned for future releases; can be managed externally through ONTAP. |
| **NAS protocols** | NFS / CIFS shares | Driver focuses on iSCSI block storage only. |
| **ONTAP-managed automatic snapshots** | Automated snapshot schedules | OpenNebula requires full control of snapshot lifecycle. |
| **Storage QoS / Performance tiers** | Policy group integration | Manual setup possible in ONTAP, not exposed in driver. |
| **Storage efficiency analytics** | Deduplication & compression metrics | Handled internally by ONTAP, not shown in OpenNebula UI. |
| **Encryption management** | Per-volume encryption toggling | Configure at SVM level outside OpenNebula. |
| **Advanced VMware features** | VAAI offloads, Storage DRS, vVols | VMware-specific APIs, not applicable to OpenNebula. |
| **Multi-instance sharing** | Shared datastore IDs | Explicitly unsupported — datastore IDs must be unique per OpenNebula instance. |
| **SVM HA features** | MetroCluster, SyncMirror | Can be used under the SVM, but not managed by OpenNebula. |

| Category | Unsupported Feature | Rationale / Alternative |
|-----------|--------------------|--------------------------|
| **Replication & DR** | Protection Groups / Active Cluster | Planned for future releases; can be managed externally on the FlashArray. |
| **NAS protocols** | NFS / SMB | Driver focuses on iSCSI block storage only. |
| **Array-managed automatic snapshots** | Automated snapshot schedules | OpenNebula requires full control over snapshot lifecycle; array policies must remain disabled for OpenNebula-managed volumes. |
| **Storage QoS / Performance tiers** | Bandwidth / IOPS limits | FlashArray supports QoS, but these controls are not integrated into the driver. |
| **Storage efficiency analytics** | Deduplication & compression metrics | Calculated internally by FlashArray; not displayed or consumed by OpenNebula. |
| **Encryption management** | Per-volume encryption toggling | FlashArray encryption is always-on and appliance-managed; no OpenNebula API exposure. |
| **Advanced VMware features** | VAAI offloads, Storage DRS, vVols | VMware-specific APIs, not applicable to OpenNebula. |
| **Multi-instance sharing** | Shared datastore IDs | Not supported; each OpenNebula instance must own its datastore definitions uniquely. Utilize suffixes for multi-OpenNebula Arrays |
| **Synchronous Replication Topologies** | ActiveCluster stretch, pod failover | May be deployed at the array infrastructure level but is not orchestrated by OpenNebula. |
