Clients & Servers
.
 A single Gateway supports Unix, Linux and
Windows file protocols
 Potentially reducing the number of servers required
for accessing SAN storage in mixed protocol
environments
 Connecting small inexpensive servers to premium
priced SAN storage is very costly.
 FC HBAs, FC switch ports… costs could exceed
the actual cost of server
 A single Gateway extends the reach of SAN storage
to many servers attached to an IP network
 Potentially reducing overall connection costs
 Allowing access to SAN storage at extended
distances
 A Gateway provides functionality of N series

FTP Protocol
 File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a conversational
protocol used to transfer files from an N series
running Data ONTAP to a client/user over
TCP/IP
 It can transfer simple text files and convert
between different native formats, such as from
a Windows text format to a UNIX text format, or
it can transfer raw binary data, such as
programs and graphical images.
 HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the
foundation protocol of the World Wide Web. It
sets the rules for exchanges between browser
and server. It provides for the transfer of
hypertext and hypermedia, for recognition of
file types, and other functions.
 N series supports HTTP and transfer files from
an N series running Data ONTAP to a
client/user over TCP/IP

FilerView®
 A web-based administration tool that allows IT administrators
to fully manage N series systems from remote locations.
 Simple and intuitive web-based single-appliance
administration
 SecureAdmin is standard feature of Data ONTAP that
enables authenticated, command-based administrative
sessions between an administrative user and Data ONTAP
over an intranet or the Internet.
 SecureAdmin can be used to authenticate both the
administrative user and the N series system, creating a
secure, direct communication link to the N series system.
 It helps protects administrative logins, passwords, and
session commands from "cleartext" snooping by replacing
rsh and telnet with the strongly encrypted SSH protocol

Disk Sanitization
 Disk sanitization is the process of physically obliterating data
by overwriting disks with specified byte patterns or random
data in a manner that helps prevents recovery of current data
by any known recovery methods.
 This feature enables you to carry out disk sanitization by
using three successive byte overwrite patterns per cycle and
a default six cycles per operation
 FlexShare gives administrators the ability to increase processing
utilization without sacrificing the performance of critical business needs.
 Allows administrators to consolidate different applications and data sets
on a single storage system.
 FlexShare gives administrators the control to prioritize applications
based on how critical they are to the business and provides a priority
mechanism to give preferential treatment to higher priority tasks.
 Benefits include:
 For more effective storage consolidation
 Critical workloads get fastest response when controller is fully
loaded
 Storage administrator can make on-the-fly adjustments
 Standard feature in Data ONTAP 7.2

FlexVol®
 Allows administrator to create multiple flexible volumes across a large pool of disks.
 Dynamic, non-disruptive storage (thin) provisioning; space- and time-efficiency.
 Allows users to get more space dynamically and non-disruptively.
 Enables more productive use of available storage and helps improve performance.
 Designed to provide instant replication of data volumes/sets
without requiring additional storage space at the time of
creation.
 Allows IT administrator to make a backup copy of a
database and then modify and run testing against test
(backup) database without affecting or taking the on-line
database off-line.

RAID-DP®
 Protects better than single-parity RAID or RAID0+1
 Designed to survive all 2-disk failure scenarios
 Essential for SATA drives but also applicable to FC drives
 Breakthrough innovation: USENIX Best Paper in 2004
 No performance penalty for industry-leading protection
 Automatic failover with notification provides continuous data
availability for an unavailable storage controller and notifies
administrator of failover.
 Manual failover and giveback enables planned maintenance on a
storage controller without impacting data availability
 Transparent failover: end users are not impacted by a failover; clients
continue to access data the same way after a failover.
 Active/active configuration; both clustered controllers are doing useful
work; no resources sit idle waiting for a failover to occur
Clustered Failover (CFO)
P DP
 Traditional single-parity RAID technology offers protection from a single
failed disk drive.
 The expectation is that no other disk fails nor uncorrectable bit errors not
occur during a read operation while reconstruction of the failed disk is still
in progress.
 If either event occurs during reconstruction, then some or all data
contained in the RAID array or volume could be lost. With modern larger
disk media, the likelihood of an uncorrectable bit error is fairly high, since
disk capacities have increased but bit error rates have stayed the same.
 The ability of traditional single-parity RAID to protect data is being
stretched beyond its limits.

MetroCluster
 SnapValidator detects and prevents potential corruptions of Oracle
data before they happen.
 Oracle system assigns a unique value to each write request based on
the sum of the data and sends the data set down the I/O path to the N
series system. Upon receipt, SnapValidator calculates the sum of the
data and compares it to the Oracle value.
 If these values match, the system writes the information to disk
and reports a successful write.
 If the identifiers do not match, the system prevents the data
corruption and produces an alert.
 SnapValidator meets Oracle HARD (Hardware Assisted Resilient
Data) initiative and provides the highest possible level of protection for
Oracle data.
SnapValidator®
 Extends Clustered Failover capabilities from primary to a remote site
 Replicates data from the primary site to the remote site to ensure that data
there is completely up-to-date and available
 If Site A goes down, MetroCluster allows you to rapidly resume operations at
a remote site minutes after a disaster.
 Stretch MetroCluster provides a disaster recovery option at distances up to
500 meters between each N series system.
 Fabric MetroCluster provides a disaster recovery option at distances up to
100km using a Fibre Channel switched network.

NearStore®
 Data ONTAP maintains a fixed upper limit for concurrent SnapMirror and SnapVault
transfers based on the type of disks the system has attached.
 Concurrent operations allow multiple data streams between two N series devices for
the purpose of backup, data protection, disaster preparedness
 The NearStore (near-line) feature increases the maximum number of concurrent
data streams (per storage controller) to the following limits:
 N5200 w/FC & SATA drives = 32 concurrent data streams
 N5300, 5500 & N7600 w/FC & SATA drives = 64 concurrent data streams
 N5600 & N7800 w/FC & SATA drives = 128 concurrent data streams
Notes: Concurrent data streams = a combination of SnapMirror and SnapVault and
Open Systems SnapVault sessions

SnapManager® for SQL server and SnapManager for Exchange
 Host software for managing Exchange and SQL Server backup and restore. SnapManager
software simplifies data protection by automating processes to provide hands-off, worry-
free data management.
 It enables you to schedule and automate backups, use policy-based backup retention
management, and simplify the migration of existing databases to IBM N series systems.
 SnapManager also delivers built-in high availability, with features that allow you to expand
databases online.
 It also offers tight integration with Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) and Multipath I/O
(MPIO) and with the N series Clustered Failover option and SnapMirror for simplified
disaster recovery implementation.
 Enables the recovery of a single mailbox from a Microsoft Exchange
Information Store.
 Unlike Lotus Domino where every mailbox is stored as a separate
database (and therefore is implicitly recoverable as a unit by itself),
Exchange clumps several mailboxes together into .edb files and .stm
files.
 This makes recovery of a single user’s mailbox extremely cumbersome
and in most cases impossible unless there is some brick-level backup
software in place.
 With SMBR, no brick-level (transaction level) backup is required.
 SMBR can extract a single mailbox or email directly and rapidly from an
Exchange Information Store.

SOLUTION: SAP MIGRATION &
CONSOLIDATION
Copies of the SAP production system must be created on a
regular base
 Setting up a new QA system with current master and transactional
data
 Testing an SAP upgrade with "real” production data
Typically a backup of the productive database will be restored
to the QA system
 Long restore time
 Backup/restore Infrastructure is blocked
 Not usable for frequent setup of Quality Assurance (QA) systems
Issues:
 Database copy can be done using FlexClone/LUN Clone
 Created in a few seconds
 No double disk space necessary
 The clones can be split for long-term usage
 Can be automated for frequent setup of QA system

SOLUTION: VERSION MIGRATIONS LIKE CATIA MIGRATION V4-V5
 Replace current storage solution with N series
 Accelerated deployment of CATIA Windows workstations
 Clear migration path from V4-V5
 V4 filename translation
 New projects in V5 with access to legacy V4 files
 User-defined table maps CIFS-illegal characters to
Windows-recognizable format
 During CIFS-list Data ONTAP converts filenames using
mapping
 Example: file a:b converted to aÅb for CIFS clients
 Performs reverse mapping before actual operation
 CIFS request for file aÅb will always open NFS file a:b

Snapshot
File/LUN:
my_file.dat
Blocks are “frozen” on disk
• Near instantaneous snap creation
• Consistent point-in-time copy
• Ready to use (read-only)
• Consumes no* space!
* Except for 4 KB replicated top-level inode block that defines the Snapshot
First Snapshot
is composed of
blocks A, B & C
User’s file
(my_file.dat)
is composed of
blocks A, B & C

Snapshot
new
C
• WAFL file system simple moves the pointers of
the Active File to blocks A, B new C’.
• Original data is never re-written
• Some “copy-on-write” alternatives require three
operations (read old data, save old data,
overwrite with new) vs N series with a single
write.
A B C
Active file
Disk blocks
User updates active file
and a new block C’ is
written with new data.

DRAMATIC DATA MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS
 Designed to allow administrators to create multiple flexible
volumes across a large pool of disks
 Dynamic, non-disruptive storage (thin) provisioning; space- and
time-efficiency
 Allows users to get more space dynamically and non-disruptively
 Can enable more productive use of available storage and helps
improve performance by distributing applications across more
spindles
 Grow and Shrink volumes on the fly.
