Slightly Larger Aggregates

Only data disks count against aggregate size– Parity disks no longer count in aggregate capacity

Allows more data disks per aggregate– 15% or more usable capacity per aggregate; depends on

disk drive size

– Can expand existing aggregates to larger capacity May also slightly increase aggregate-level

performance for disk-bound aggregates

Faster Takeover/Giveback

Hardware Assisted Takeover for active/active controller configurations– Reduced failure detection time: 15 seconds to

~1 second

– Requires RLM moduleSub 60-second takeover/giveback for

majority of installed FCP configurations– Achieved through increased efficiencies of

multiple components

Nondisruptive Upgrade Enhancements

Enables rolling upgrades of Data ONTAP® without incurring application I/O errors

Upgrade Path Support from Data ONTAP 7.2.3+ 7.3+

Unified storage support matrix– Applies to FAS, V-Series, and SA Appliances– Equivalent between SAN and NFS configurations

Extended system configuration limits FAS 3000, 6000 series: 300 FlexVol® volumes / controller FAS 270, 900, 2000 series: 150 FlexVol volumes / controller Snapshot™ copies no greater than 10 times the number of

FlexVol volumes 50% Disk Utilization and 50% CPU Utilization limits apply



Now supported for destination of Data ONTAP® 7.3 and higher:– SATA and SAS drives for major and minor NDU in both

NFS and SAN environments– Mixed-protocol FC/SATA/SAS environments

Stretched MetroCluster support– Both major and minor NDU in NFS and SAN

environments Fabric MetroCluster support

– Minor NDU in both NFS and SAN environments Enhanced configuration support for SAN

– Increased numbers of FlexVol® copies, Snapshot™ copies, LUNS, etc.

SAN system configuration approval process no longer required



NDU-Aware Upgrade Advisor– Provides automated active/active system qualification

and upgrade (and optional revert) plan generation

– Accessible through Premium AutoSupport interface

– Now available for all systems under support contract (Previously available only via SupportEdge Premium)

Enhanced Data ONTAP® Upgrade Guide– Extensive new NDU procedure documentation

– Also provides qualification and plan generation mechanism for systems not issuing AutoSupport alerts

New V-Series Features

NetApp® disk shelves supported in V-Series– Available for V3000 and V6000 platforms

– Support same shelf and disk types as FAS3000 and FAS6000

– Both shelf types (NetApp and third-party) can co-exist on same V-Series But, only one type of disk (NetApp or third-party) in an

aggregate

– Single platform to manage all storage

– SnapLock® support (native disk only) Access multiple array LUN groups on a storage

array– More than two FC initiator ports can be used to access

LUNs in different LUN groups on same storage array


Multi-CPU Performance Improvements

Ongoing optimizations and parallelism for four-way FAS platforms– Better CPU utilization for FAS platforms with four or more

processors/cores – FAS3070, FAS6070, FAS6080

– More efficient distribution of parallel network layer processing on multiple CPUs

– Move write allocation processing from kernel to separate domain

Performance improvements are workload dependent– Most protocols should see benefit to some degree -

NFSv3, CIFS, iSCSI Transparent - no configuration or commands


Networking Improvements

Can block protocols per physical interface– CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, ftpd, SnapMirror®

Increased maximum network interfaces– Was 128 – now up to 1024

Storage system memory Max network interfaces

<= 2 GB 128

<= 2 GB active/active 256

<= 6 GB 256

<= 6 GB active/active 512

> 6GB 512

> 6GB active/active 1024


Networking improvements (continued)

SNMPv3 support– Provides new security enhancements

– netapp.mib file changed – conforms to SNMPv2 and SNMPv3

– MD5 Authentication

– New client side commands for SNMPv3snmpbulkwalk: displays all the leaves on an SNMP tree

from a single querysnmpbulkget: collects all the leaves on an SNMP tree

from a single query


Performance Acceleration Module

PCIe I/O accelerator module Intelligent hardware/software solution provides

tunable acceleration for certain workloads Each module adds 16GB of extended cache Use Predictive Cache Statistics to evaluate

performance improvements Provides biggest benefits in random read workloads

FlexCache Storage Acceleration Appliance

New pre-configured, competitively priced FlexCacheTM appliances

Hardware-equivalent to FAS counterpart: – SA600 ↔ FAS6080

– SA300 ↔ FAS3070

– SA200 ↔ FAS2050 Runs standard Data ONTAP® releases

– Data ONTAP ® 7.2.5.1 and later


SA Personality

Different nameplate on the bezel Different model strings in the EEPROM

– Cannot convert to FAS or V-Series Restricted licenses – only supports:

– flexcache_nfs: Enables FlexCacheTM feature

– cluster: Enables 2 SA Systems in an HA configuration

– flex_scale: Enables Performance Acceleration Module

Can only create FlexCache volumes on the SA – No other file access protocols supported

– Cannot create Origin volumes on the SA


New FlexCache Feature: autogrow

Manages the size of FlexCacheTM volumes– Recommended for easier management of FlexCache

volume size

– FlexCache volumes that are too small can reduce caching performance.

FlexCache volume size increases automatically– Provides more disk space for storing cached data

– Minimizes the need to eject data from the cache

– Requires space in the containing aggregate Enabled by default on all new FlexCache volumes

created with CLI at Data ONTAP® 7.3 or later

– Windows Server 2008 clients

– Vista clients Enable a NetApp® system to join and operate

properly in a Windows 2008 based domain Enable Data ONTAP® compatibility with Vista

clients


CIFS Enhancements (continued)

– Reports the reason to allow or deny access

– Up to 10 separate permission tracing filters Access path UNIX® or Windows® username Client IP address

MultiStore Enhancements

SnapMover® for FlexVol® volumes– Transparently migrate vFilerTM units with FlexVol volumes

– All FlexVol volumes in an aggregate must be owned by vFiler unit

SnapDrive® for UNIX® 4.x support SnapDrive for Windows® 5.x support SnapLock® support per vFiler unit Deduplication for vFiler FlexVol volumes

– Must be enabled and managed from vFiler0 CLI


Deduplication

Minimum requirement Data ONTAP® 7.2.4 – Eliminates duplicate data blocks anywhere in a

FlexVol® volume

– Enabled at volume level

– Protocol and application agnostic – CIFS/NFS, FCP/iSCSI, NDMP

– No charge license

– Significant space savings possible


Deduplication – how it works

4K blocks with identical checksums identified as deduplication candidates – Checksums computed by RAID-DP® and stored in fingerprint file

Byte for byte comparison to prevent false duplicate checksums Duplicated blocks are deleted – frees up space Use multiple reference pointers to each duplicated block
