Data ONTAP Components: WAFL Versus Traditional File Systems

WAFL
File data location Metadata location Updates to existing data / metadata? File system consistency? Crash recovery? Interaction with RAID Snapshot copies / versions? Anywhere on disk Anywhere on disk (except root inode) Put in unallocated blocks (originals intact) Guaranteed by design Reboot, ready to go Can write full stripes, utilizing bandwidth By design
Traditional File Systems

Most of disk Dedicated regions Overwrite existing data Careful ordering of all writes required Slow, complicated fsck Has to seek for all updates Requires extra copy on write

Data ONTAP 7.0 Storage Terminology: Aggregate

Aggregate
RG 0
RG 1
RG 2
Aggregate collection of physical disk space used as a container to support one or more flexible volumes Aggregates are the physical layer
71
Basic Aggregate Attributes
Default RAID type = RAID-DP One or more RAID groups RAID group size definable Supports SyncMirror Aggregate snapshot support (default enabled) Target all flexible volumes contained within aggregate
72
Aggregate Status Information: FilerView
To get aggregate properties click on aggregate name
73
Aggregate Status Information: FilerView Aggregate Properties Screen

Get to other details about the aggregate from the buttons at the bottom of this screen
74
Data ONTAP 7.0 Storage Terminology: Traditional Volume

Aggregate
RG 0
RG 1
RG 2
Traditional volume collection of physical disk space that is used to support a single volume
Traditional volumes are directly tied to an aggregate Traditional volumes are both the physical layer and the logical layer
75
Data ONTAP 7.0 Storage Terminology: Flexible Volume

Aggregate
FlexVol2 FlexVol1 FlexVol2 FlexVol1 FlexVol2 FlexVol1
RG 0
RG 1
RG 2
Flexible volume collection of disk space allocated as a subset of the available space within an aggregate
Flexible volumes are loosely tied to their aggregate Flexible volumes are the logical layer
76
Flexible Volume Creation: FilerView Example
77
Basic Flexible Volume Status Information: FilerView

Flexible volume information is provided via FilerView from Volumes Manage and Volume Properties screens
Filter by: Volume Type
If aggregate name, flexible volume
Click on volume name for volume properties
78
Volume Information Commands

NetApp> vol status Volume State vol0 online flex1 online NetApp> vol status flex1 Volume State flex1 online Status raid_dp, flex Options
If it is a flexible volume, the aggregate name appears Both traditional and flexible volumes are visible
Status raid4, trad raid_dp, flex
Options root, nosnap=on
Containing aggregate: 'aggr1'

NetApp> vol container flex1 Volume 'flex1' is contained in aggregate 'aggr1' NetApp> vol size flex1 vol size: Flexible volume 'flex1' has size 10g.

Flexible Volume Creation Space Guarantee Types

Flexible volume creation can be performed using CLI command or FilerView Allocated from containing aggregates file systems space
Controlled by flexible volumes space guarantee option
Three types of space guarantee types available
X
Volume None File
81
Space Guarantee - Volume

Aggregate = 50Gb Total Physical Space = 49 cups of water = 50 Cups of Water
Flexible Volume = 10Gb Used Space = 1Gb 0Gb
40 empty cups available for filling 50 empty cups available for filling
Available water reduced by 10 cups immediately to guarantee the cups needed to fill the bucket
Space is not used, but the ability to take that space is reserved
Space guarantee set to volume Space allocated from aggregate at creation for entire size of volume Space allocated within volume does not affect aggregate space
Space Guarantee - None

Aggregate = 50Gb Total Physical Space = 49 cups of water = 50 Cups of Water
Flexible Volume = 10Gb Used Space = 1Gb 0Gb
A new volume requests 10 cups, however no real space is taken until it is needed by the volume
Guarantee = none Space allocated from aggregate as used Does not support file and LUN space reservations May run out of aggregate space before achieving volume size
Space Guarantee - None

Aggregate = 50Gb Total Physical Space = 49 cups of water =48 Cups of Water 50 Flexible Volume = 79Gb 78Gb 80Gb Used Space = 1Gb 2Gb 0Gb
48 49 empty cups available for filling 50 empty cups available for filling
It is possible to have many flexible volumes that can possibly exceed the limit the aggregate has available This is because they are empty and not taking any real space until needed by the volume
Space Guarantee - File

Aggregate = 50Gb Total Physical Space = 50 Cups of Water = 48 cups of water Flexible Volume = 8Gb 10Gb Used Space = 2Gb Used Space = 0Gb
It is possible to have many flexible volumes that can possibly exceed the limit the aggregate has available This is because they are empty and not taking any real space until needed by the volume
Flexible Volume Resizing: CLI Command

vol size command is used to resize a flexible volume
Syntax:
vol size <vol-name> [[+|-]<size>[k|m|g|t]]
Command vol size FlexVol 50m vol size FlexVol +50m vol size FlexVol -25m Result FlexVol will now be 50M FlexVol will be increased 50M to 100M FlexVol will be decreased 25M to 75M
86
Aggregate and Flexible Volume Removal

Aggregates cannot be removed until all flexible volumes on the aggregate are removed
Both flexible volumes and aggregates can be removed using CLI commands and FilerView
For flexible volumes, use CLI commands: vol offline <FlexVol-name> and vol destroy <FlexVol-name> For aggregates, use CLI commands: aggr offline <aggr-name> and aggr destroy <aggr-name>
What is FlexShare?
Allows administrators to prioritize how system resources are used

Standard with Data ONTAP 7.2 No license required
Provides workload prioritization

Prioritizes resource availability for higher priority tasks No guarantees on performance or resource availability
88
FlexShare Key Features
Relative priority of different volumes Per-volume user vs. system priority Per-volume cache policies Administration using CLI or Manage ONTAP API Dynamic updates of configuration changes
89
MultiStore
MultiStore is an optional software product available with Data ONTAP
Allows partitioning of the storage system and network resources into separate storage containers These storage containers are called virtual filers
Sometimes referred to as Vfilers
Each virtual filer offers file services to the clients NOT the same as V-Series
90
Benefits of MultiStore
Virtualization
Provides a logical view of the storage and computing resources Hides complexity
Consolidation and ease of management

Each virtual storage controller appears as a separate physical storage with a unique IP address
Security
Delegation of management Data owned by a virtual storage controller cannot be accessed by other virtual storage controllers
Competitive Layout: Static (Them)
