Why Gateway vs. General Purpose Filer Server
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
  technology to other vendor storage subsystems
• A Gateway provides increased protection
  investment in SAN storage by increasing SAN
  utilization accessibility

N series Software Overview
http//www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html
55
CIFS Protocol

• Allows Microsoft Windows servers clients access
  over the IP network using CIFS file system
  protocols.
• Microsoft Windows client access licenses (CAL)
  are not required. Supports an active directory
  environment

NFS Protocol

• Allows UNIX and Linux servers and clients access
  over an IP network using NFS file system
  protocols.
• V2, V3, V4 supported

http//www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html
56
iSCSI Protocol

• Allows transfer of data between storage and
  servers in block I/O formats (iSCSI protocol).
• Enables the creation of IP SANs for optimizing
  the transfer of database traffic in IP
  environments.

Fibre Channel Protocol

• Allows transfer of data between storage and
  servers in block I/O formats utilizing FCP
  protocols
• Enables participation of an N series storage
  solution within Fibre Channel SAN environments

http//www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html
57
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 Protocol

• 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

http//www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html
58
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

• 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

http//www.certificationkey.com/NS0-156.html
59
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

• 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

60
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.

FlexClone

• Designed to provide instant replication of data
  volumes/sets without requiring additional storage
  space at the time of creation.

RAID-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.

• Protects better than single-parity RAID or
  RAID01
• 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

Clustered Failover (CFO)

• 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

SnapValidator

• 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.

66
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

Single Mailbox Recovery (SMBR)

• 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 users 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.
