- 49. To begin, a quick vocabulary check • Physical connections are PORTS • Access data or administration through INTERFACES (LIFs) • Each controller is a NODE • Data is served by a Storage Virtual Machine, or SVM Understanding Clustered ONTAP © 2014 Scalar Decisions Inc. Not for distribution outside of intended audience. 49
- 50. • How many ports, to where, for what? • What will go on those ports? IP ranges, VLANs • LACP LAGs, VLAN trunks • Leads to requirements for upstream network design • Can be simple, or rich, depending on use case for SAN Design for network connectivity © 2014 Scalar Decisions Inc. Not for distribution outside of intended audience. 50
- 51. • During the purchasing process, there will have been discussions on how much storage, and for what, usually in broad terms • In this stage, we decide exactly which disks, shelves go where, with which controllers • Decide on aggregate layouts, SVM design • SVM design – less is better, but segregation of administration is a key benefit, so don’t be afraid to use them Design for storage layout © 2014 Scalar Decisions Inc. Not for distribution outside of intended audience. 51
- 52. • All data is served by SVMs, through logical interfaces (LIFs), either over IPs or FC WWPNs • Decide which LIFs, for what, for which SVM • Including Administration and data access IPs Design for storage layout © 2014 Scalar Decisions Inc. Not for distribution outside of intended audience. 52
- 53. • Are we replicating data? If so, to where? • Mirroring? Or vaulting? (Different copies on primary and secondary) Or both? • How are we replicating? IP addresses dedicated to replication are used • Define data tiers, RPO and RTO for those tiers • Design replication schedules Design for replication © 2014 Scalar Decisions Inc. Not for distribution outside of intended audience. 53
- 54. • 99% of systems we install are replacing something else, either a file server or servers or an existing SAN • What is on the old environment? How can we move it to the new environment? • Group data sets by migration options, outage tolerances Data classification © 2014 Scalar Decisions Inc.
