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



Unix

Windows

Linux

IP .

A single Gateway extends the reach of SAN storage to many servers attached to an IP network

N series Gateway

 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

RAID-DP® P 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 RAID0+1 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) Application Cluster with N series clustering

N series

 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

Disk Volumes

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

Snapshot™

 Instant self-service file & volume backup for end users.  Instant self-service file & volume backup and recovery for end users  Zero-performance impact, space-efficient. Only block-level changes are stored, thus minimizing disk space for each subsequent Snapshot

SnapRestore®

 Instantaneous volume recovery (up to 16 TB at once)  Can restore individual files/LUNs/volumes as well  Operates within the N series, without burdening the storage networks to which it’s attached

MultiStore®  MultiStore lets you quickly and easily create separate, private logical partitions of a single N series’ IP networking and storage resources.  MultiStore prevents different enterprise departments accessing or finding other virtual storage partitions within the single Appliance or Gateway they all share.  MultiStore helps prevent information on any virtual partition from being viewed, used or downloaded by unauthorized users.  Analogous in purpose to LUN masking on a Block Storage System Windows clients

SnapValidator® Oracle validates blocks and adds protection information

Oracle® Database Server

SnapValidator validates the data against the protection information

Fibre Channel or IP (iSCSI, NFS)

 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.

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 of SnapMirror and SnapVault and Open Systems SnapVault sessions

Concurrent data streams

Advanced Single Instance Storage (A-SIS deduplicaiton) Benefits of A-SIS  Reduces storage use by sharing identical data blocks  Ideal for Business Processes / Applications  Archiving  Enterprise Content Management  Information Lifecycle Management  Eliminates redundancy within and across files  Between multiple backups of same source data set  Between multiple backups of different source sets  Within one backup (duplicate files and blocks)

Single Mailbox Recovery (SMBR)

N series

. Exchange Server

SMBR Software

 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 user’s 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.

HOW SNAPSHOT WORKS (1) Active file File/LUN: my_file.dat Userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s file (my_file.dat) is composed of blocks A, B & C

Disk blocks

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

HOW SNAPSHOT WORKS (2) Snapshot

Active file

File/LUN: my_file.dat

User’s file (my_file.dat) is composed of blocks A, B & C

First Snapshot is composed of blocks A, B & C

Disk blocks

Blocks are “frozen” on disk • • • •

Near instantaneous snap creation Consistent point-in-time copy Ready to use (read-only) Consumes no* space! * Except for 4 KB replicated top-level inode block that defines the Snapshot

HOW SNAPSHOT WORKS (3) Active file

Snapshot

File/LUN: my_file.dat

User’s User’s file file (my_file.dat) (my_file.dat) is is composed composed of of blocks blocks A, B & C A, B & new C

First Snapshot is composed of blocks A, B & old C

Disk blocks

User updates active file and a new block C’ is written with new data. Old block C is not changed

New data is written

old C C

new C • WAFL file system simple moves the pointers of the Active File to blocks A, B new C’. • Original data is never re-written • Some “copy-on-write” alternatives require three operations (read old data, save old data, overwrite with new) vs N series with a single write.

SNAPSHOT COPIES CAN CONTINUE! … UP TO MAXIMUM OF 255* Active Data

Snapshot.1

File/LUN: my_file.dat

Snapshot.2

Old C

New C

File/LUN: my_file.dat

 Active Data of my_file.dat is composed of blocks A, B & New C  Snapshot.1 of my_file.dat is composed of blocks A, B & Old C  Snapshot.2 of my_file.dat is composed of blocks A, B and New ‘C’

* Finest granularity for a “snapsched” is 1 minute, rolls over after 255 max reached

HOW IT WORKS Volume 1

Snapshot copy of Volume 1



Start with a volume



Original volume continues to be updated during production mode



Create a Snapshot copy



Create a clone (a new volume based on the Snapshot copy)



Cloned volume is updated / modified for QA or test scenarios

Volume 2 (Clone)

Snapshot Copy Data Written to Disk: Volume 1

Cloned Volume Changed Blocks

Result:  Independent volume copies, efficiently stored  Only storage consumed are the changed blocks

Writeable Snapshots
