SSDS IN A NETAPP DISK SHELF

Solid-state disks (SSDs) are best suited for random read-intensive workloads that require consistently fast

response times. Currently, SSDs are available in the DS4243 shelf, which houses 24 drives in 3.5-inch form factor carriers. Each shelf gives you approximately 2 TB of raw capacity. For best results, use SSDs with a

high-performance storage controller.

Solid-state disks (SSDs): Can provide consistently fast response times for your

mission-critical applications Are supported in the highly reliable DS4243 disk shelf Use 24 x 100 GB SSDs per shelf Are available with higher performance NetApp FAS

and V-Series storage controllers, which run the Data ONTAP 8.0.1 or later system



NETAPP HARDWARE SOLUTION: FLASH CACHE

Use Flash Cache, formerly the Performance Acceleration Module II (PAM II), to optimize the performance of

random read-intensive workloadssuch as file services, messaging, virtual infrastructure, and OLTP databaseswithout using additional high-performance disk drives. This intelligent read cache speeds access to your data, reducing latency by a factor of 10 or morecompared to disk drives. Faster response times can translate into higher throughput for random I/O workloads.


Flash Cache (PAM II): Was formerly named Performance

Acceleration Module (PAM) Eliminates up to 75% of the high-performance

disk drives in a storage system while providing better response time across the I/O throughput

NetApp Hardware Solution: Flash Cache

14



USE CASES FOR FLASH CACHE AND SSDS

Both intelligent caching and persistent storage are effective ways to improve performance for random read-

intensive workloads.

When both Flash Cache and SSDs are part of a storage system configuration, the data from SSD volumes is

not placed in Flash Cache. Instead, SSD data is placed in the first-level read cache, which resides in the

controllers dynamic RAM (DRAM) main memory. Only data from rotating media (disk drives) is placed in Flash Cache. In this case, Flash Cache functions as a second-level read cache.

It is often said that SSDs improve write performance, not just read performance. Because the WAFL (Write

Anywhere File Layout) file system in combination with the use of NVRAM as a write journal enables

NetApp storage to handle random writes very efficiently, this statement applies more to traditional FC-SAN

storage than to NetApp storage. Nevertheless, SSDs can improve the write performance of a NetApp

controller for workloads that are very write intensive.

Currently, promotion of autotiering software is at its peak, so the gap between expectations and reality is

large. Autotiering software works better for moving data downhill, to a lower tier, than for moving data

uphill, to a higher tier. When data on a lower tier (such as on SATA disk drives) suddenly becomes hot, it is

typically moved to an upper tier (such as SSDs) only after several hours, perhaps only after several days.

As a factor in the delay, chunk sizes range from 512 KB for Compellent to 1 GB for EMC CLARiiON

Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST). As chunk size increases, so does the likelihood that cold data will

be moved with hot data. As a consequence, larger chunk sizes increase the burden on the storage controller.

In contrast to autotiering software, NetApp intelligent caching moves newly hot data into cache in small 4-KB

chunks and in real time. The data chunk is initially placed in the first level of read cache, which is in

controller memory (DRAM). Eventually, the data chunk flows into the much larger, second-level Flash

Cache.

UPGRADING TO DATA ONTAP 8.0.X

Upgrading Data ONTAP or Data ONTAP GX is easy when you upgrade within the same mode, such as Data ONTAP 7.3.x to Data ONTAP 8.0.x 7-Mode. In a high-availability configuration, you can upgrade from

Data ONTAP 7.3.x to Data ONTAP 8.0.x 7-Mode with a nondisruptive upgrade (NDU), maintaining data

access during the upgrade. In a single-node configuration, you can upgrade from Data ONTAP 7.3.x to Data

ONTAP 8.0.x 7-Mode without disturbing the data on the shelves (called Data in Place). Although upgrades from Data ONTAP GX to Data ONTAP 8.0 Cluster-Mode require a reboot, all data can be maintained. All

other upgrades are conversions, requiring disks and systems to be wiped clean.

DATA ONTAP-V

The Data ONTAP operating system in a virtual machine (Data ONTAP-v) delivers the Data ONTAP storage

stack, data management, and caching features within a virtual machine. Currently, Data ONTAP-v is based

upon Data ONTAP 8.0.1 7-Mode. The virtual machine is on physical servers that use direct-attached storage

or are part of an external storage system. The Data ONTAP-v product is included within the virtual storage

appliance category.

Data ONTAP-v (in a virtual environment) and Data ONTAP (in a physical environment) provide the same

capabilities. The capabilities of Data ONTAP-v can be configured for multiple usage scenarios. When used

with the Fujitsu BX400, Data ONTAP-v enables storage stack management of local Fujitsu disks and

provides IP-based (CIFS, iSCSI, and NFS) data access for home directories, e-mail, and business applications

for small-sized and medium-sized firms.

NetApp offers Data ONTAP-v to Fujitsu as an OEM product. Data ONTAP-v will be incorporated into the

Fujitsu SX960 storage blade for the PRIMERGY BX400 blade server. As of January 2011, the Data

ONTAP-v system embedded with the SX960 storage blade is sold exclusively by Fujitsu and its worldwide

authorized resellers.

NAS is a file-based storage system that makes data available over the network, using NFS and CIFS

protocols. Within the Data ONTAP 8.0.1 7-Mode operating system, NetApp provides Unified Connect, which

allows a single 10-Gb adapter on the storage system, called a Unified Target Adapter (UTA), and a single 10-

Gb adapter on a client host, called a Converged Network Adapter (CNA), to be used as an Ethernet path for

both NAS and SAN.

NetApp SAN and Unified Storage Architecture provide an outstanding level of investment protection and

flexibility. The FAS system on the slide implies one box. However, the actual storage environment includes small and large FAS systems.

PROTOCOLS SUPPORTED BY DATA ONTAP

NFS: The NFS protocol allows UNIX and PC NFS clients to mount file systems to local mount points. The

storage appliance supports NFS v2, NFS v3, NFS v4, and NFS over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

CIFS: The CIFS protocol supports Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server

2008.

FTP: The FTP enables UNIX clients to remotely transfer files to and from the storage appliance.

HTTP: The HTTP enables Web browsers to display files that are stored on the storage appliance.

WebDAV: Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) enables certain applications to

create, modify, and access files by using extensions to HTTP.

FC, iSCSI, or FCoE: The FC, iSCSI, and FCoE protocols enable a storage device to communicate with one

or more hosts that are running operating systems such as Solaris or Windows in a SAN environment.

DATA ONTAP 7.3.X ARCHITECTURE

The Data ONTAP 7.3 operating system architecture consists of these elements:

Network interface: The point of interconnection between a user terminal and the network. The network layer delivers data to RAM through the simple kernel and through some libraries.

Protocol stack: Enables the processing of the data that is placed into RAM by the network layer. Processing is based on protocols (CIFS, NFS, FC, iSCSI, FTP, or HTTP).

WAFL (Write Anywhere File Layout): An intelligent file system that actively optimizes write performance by identifying the most effective way to lay out data.

RAID Layer: Provides RAID 4 and RAID-DP protection by taking the data that is processed by the WAFL file system. The RAID layer creates stripes that are used to calculate parity. The RAID layer also

protects data by performing RAID scrubs and assists in the reconstruction of failed disks.

Storage: Manages data transfer to and from disks. The storage layer is responsible for writing to the disks. According to the data that is delivered by the WAFL file system and RAID, it optimizes the write

process to the disks.

Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM): Logs all transactions that change the state of the file system. Because writes are processed in system RAM, NVRAM provides battery-backed protection against data loss only

in emergency situations. After an improper shutdown, NVRAM is read only.

CONSOLE CONNECTIONS: RLM OR SP

The Remote LAN Module (RLM) or the new Service Processor (SP is a remote management card that

provides remote platform management capabilities, including remote access, monitoring, troubleshooting,

logging, and alerting features.

These connections stays operational regardless of the operating state of the storage system. They are powered

by standby voltage, which are available as long as the storage system has input power to at least one of the

storage systems power supplies.

The RLM and the SP has a single temperature sensor to detect ambient temperature around the module board.

Data that is generated by this sensor is not used for any system or RLM environmental policies. It is only used

as a reference point that might help you troubleshoot storage system issues. For example, it might help a

remote system administrator determine if a system was shut down due to an extreme temperature change in

the system.

The FAS30xx series and FAS6000 series storage systems provide an Ethernet interface for connecting to the

RLM.

The FAS32xx series and FAS62xx series storage system provide two separate Ethernet interfaces (e0M and

e0P) for connecting to the SP.

SHELL ACCESS: E0M AND E0P

Some storage system models include an interface named e0M and e0P. These interfaces are dedicated to Data

ONTAP management activities with e0M for standard management functionality and e0P for private

management traffic. They enable you to separate management traffic from data traffic on your storage system

for security and throughput benefits. On a storage system that includes the e0M interface, the Ethernet port

that is indicated by a wrench icon on the rear of the chassis connects to an internal Ethernet switch. On a

storage system that includes the e0P interface, the Ethernet port that is indicated by a wrench icon with a

padlock on the rear of the chassis connects to an internal Ethernet switch.

When you set up a system that includes the e0M or e0P interface, the Data ONTAP setup script informs you

that, for environments that use dedicated LANs to isolate management traffic from data traffic, e0M and e0P

are the preferred interfaces for the management LAN. The setup script prompts you to configure e0M and

e0P. The e0M and e0P configurations are separate from the RLM or SP configuration. Both configurations

require unique IP and MAC addresses to allow the Ethernet switch to direct traffic to either the management

interfaces or the RLM or SP.

Although the e0M interface and the RLM both connect to the internal Ethernet switch by means of the

Ethernet port that is indicated by a wrench icon on the rear of the chassis, the e0M interface and the RLM

serve different functions. The e0M interface serves as the dedicated interface for environments that have

dedicated LANs for management traffic. You use the e0M interface for Data ONTAP administrative tasks.

The RLM, conversely, can be used for managing the Data ONTAP operating system and for providing remote

management capabilities for the storage system, including remote access to the console, monitoring,

troubleshooting, logging, and alerting features. Also, the RLM stays operational regardless of the operating

state of the storage system and regardless of whether the Data ONTAP operating system is running or not.

After e0M is configured, you can open a Telnet, RSH, or SSH session on a client.

SHELL ACCESS: ETHERNET

If your system is not configured with an e0M or e0P interface, use a standard Ethernet port for administrative

communication. NetApp recommends using a dedicated interface (such as e0a) for administrative access.

Using a secure shell protocol is also recommended.


Shell Access: Ethernet

Host keys are found where indicated: RSA key: /etc/sshd/ssh_host_rsa_key DSA key: /etc/sshd/ssh_host_dsa_key

12



SECURE SOCKETS LAYER

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an industry-accepted method to encrypt communication between an adminhost

and a storage system.

SSL uses a certificate to provide a secure connection between the storage system and a Web browser. Two

types of certificates are used: a self-signed certificate and a certificate-authority-signed certificate.

Self-signed certificate: A certificate that is generated by the Data ONTAP operating system. Self-signed certificates can be used as is, but they are less secure than certificate-authority-signed certificates because

the browser has no way of verifying the signer of the certificate. This means that the system could be

spoofed by an unauthorized server.

Certificate-authority-signed certificate: A certificate-authority-signed certificate is a self-signed certificate that is sent to a certificate authority to be signed. The advantage of a certificate-authority-

signed certificate is that it verifies to the browser that the system is the system to which the client

intended to connect.

The Data ONTAP 8.0 operating system comes with SSL enabled by default. However, if you upgrade,

NetApp strongly recommends that you configure the protocol.


Secure Sockets Layer

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Uses a certificate to provide a secure connection between the

storage system and a Web browser Can use either of two types of certificates Self-signed certificate Certificate-authority-signed certificate

To configure a self-signed certificate SSL:system> secureadmin setup ssl

Enter country, state, locality, organization, unit, common, e-mail, days until expiration, and key length.

The certificate is created in the /etc/keymgr directory. A self-signed certificate is called secureadmin.der.

13



SECURE SOCKETS LAYER CONFIGURATION


Secure Sockets Layer Configuration

To configure a certificate-authority-signed certificate SSL:system> secureadmin addcert ssl directory_path

For directory_path enter the full path: /etc/tempdir/secureadmin.pem /

The certificate is created in the /etc/keymgr directory/ A certificate-authority-signed certificate is called

secureadmin.pem/

To enable SSL:system> secureadmin enable ssl

COMMAND-LINE PRIVILEGES

The Data ONTAP operating system provides two sets of commands that are based on privilege level:

administrative and advanced. Use the priv command to set the privilege level.

The administrative level provides access to commands that are sufficient for managing your storage system.

The advanced level provides access to these same administrative commands, plus additional troubleshooting

commands.

Advanced-level commands should only be used with the guidance of NetApp technical support. When you

use advanced-level commands, the following warning is displayed:

Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when directed to do so by NetApp personnel.


Command-Line Privileges

The CLI has two modes: Administrative priv set or priv set admin Represented by system>

Advanced priv set advanced

Represented by system*>

Use advanced commands only under the direction of NetApp personnel.

BASIC ADMINISTRATION COMMANDS

At the normal administration privilege level, entering a question mark at the command line displays the

commands that are available to the system administrator for disk management, networking and system

management, physical and virtual interface configuration, and related tasks.

Some commands are simple, some use arguments, and some perform an obvious function, such as backup,

ping, or help.

Type help command_name on the command line to display a brief description of the command. Type only

command_name on the command line to display the full syntax of the command and any arguments that it

takes.

ADVANCED PRIVILEGE COMMANDS

In privileged mode, you can use advanced commands that provide more control and access to the storage

system. In some cases, more arguments or options are available for a given command when you are in

privileged mode. These commands are potentially dangerous and should be used only by knowledgeable

personnel.

To access the advanced commands, enter priv set advanced. Typing this command enables advanced

privileges and changes the command line prompt by appending an asterisk (*).

To return to basic administration mode, enter priv set admin. Some administration commands that are

considered advanced are also available in the basic administration mode, but they are hidden and do not

appear when you enter the help command from the basic administration mode.
