AFF A250 ONTAP 9.8 >>>>FAS 8200 ONTAP 9.7

Hi,

May I know if my setup will be possible, We will be buying AFF A250 ONTAP 9.8 for our SQL DATA. We want to mirror data to our DC but the device that is currently in our DC is FAS 8200 9.7 ONTAP. 

My question here is that will the SnapMirror be compatible? I have check and NetApp KB is saying it is possible but the NetApp Docs site is saying it is not possible and now I don't know who to follow.

NetApp Docs Site: https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.pow-dap%2FGUID-0810D764-4CEA-4683-8280-032433B1886B.html

NetApp KB: https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Protection_and_Security/SnapMirror/SnapMirror_interoperability_between_ONTAP_versions

Also, If this will be compatible, since data in AFF is compressed to 3:1, what will happen if this data will be mirrored to the FAS System?

Regards,

Jiggy
