About Cluster Mode Account and Nodes

Clustered Data ONTAP is the enabler for NetApp scale-out storage configurations. The basic building blocks of a cluster are the familiar NetApp HA pairs in which two storage controllers are interconnected to the same set of disks. If one controller suffers a failure, the other takes over its storage and continues serving data.

In a Data ONTAP cluster, each storage controller is referred to as a cluster node, and nodes are allowed to be of different models and sizes. In a cluster, it is connected to other nodes over a cluster network.

A node is also connected to the disk shelves that provide physical storage for the Data ONTAP Cluster-Mode system or to third-party storage arrays that provide array LUNs for Data ONTAP use.

About Disks

Disks are grouped together in an aggregate. These aggregates provide storage to the volumes that are associated with the aggregate.

When you click the Disks tab, all the disks that are available in that account are displayed. Choose a disk and click View Details to view the summary details of the disk.

Adding a License

Step 1	On the menu bar, choose Physical > Storage.
Step 2	In the left pane, choose the pod that includes the NetApp C-Mode account and select the NetApp C-Mode account.
Step 3	Click the Licenses tab. The licenses available under the account are displayed.
Step 4	Click Add.
Step 5	In the Add License to Cluster dialog box, enter a license code in the License Code field.
Step 6	Click Submit.

Managing Logical Interfaces

A logical interface (LIF) is an IP address associated with a physical network port; that is, an Ethernet port. In the event of a component failure, a logical interface can failover or be migrated to a different physical port (potentially on other nodes) based on policies interpreted by the LIF manager. A LIF continues to provide network access despite the component failure. You can create multiple LIFs for a single SVM.

Step 1

On the menu bar, choose Physical > Storage.

Step 2

In the left pane, choose the pod that includes the NetApp C-Mode account and select the NetApp C-Mode account.

Managing Export Policies

An export policy includes export rules to control client access to volumes. An export policy must exist on SVM for clients to access data. You associate an export policy with each volume to configure client access to the volume.

A single SVM can contain multiple export policies. This enables you to do the following for SVMs with multiple volumes:

Assign different export policies to each volume of a single SVM for individual client access control to each volume in the SVM.
Assign the same export policy to multiple volumes of a single SVM for identical client access control without having to create a new export policy for each volume.

A port set consists of a group of Fibre Channel (FC) target ports. You bind a port set to an igroup, to make the LUN available only on a subset of the storage system's target ports. Any host in the igroup can access the LUNs only by connecting to the target ports in the port set.

If an igroup is not bound to a port set, the LUNs mapped to the igroup are available on all of the storage system FC target ports. The igroup controls which initiators LUNs are exported to. The port set limits the target ports on which those initiators have access.

Managing SnapMirror and SnapVault Relationships

SnapMirror software is a disaster recovery and data distribution solution, whereas SnapVault is a backup solution that is exclusively used to archive data. SnapMirror mirrors data to one or more network filers at high speed over LAN or WAN connections. If a disaster occurs, the destination volume can be made as source (reverse Snapmirror). SnapVault is a collection of snapshot copies of the primary volume, which can be restored with minimal downtime when there is data loss or when a system is corrupted.
