D.3.2 When Using NetApp FAS Storage

This section explains how to configure NetApp storage.

NetApp FAS Storage Configuration

For Fibre Channel Connections
Use the following procedure to configure NetApp FAS series/V series settings:
1. Initial Configuration
  Set the password of the Data ONTAP root account (using more than one character) and the admin IP address of Data ONTAP, referring to the "Data ONTAP Software Setup Guide" manual.
  Note
  - Resource Orchestrator uses the NetApp FAS series/V series which is not registered on storage management software such as DataFabric Manager.
  - Only one admin IP address can be registered for the NetApp FAS series/ V series on Resource Orchestrator.
2. Configuration of SSL
  Configure SSL, referring to the "Data ONTAP System Administration Guide" manual.
  For Data ONTAP7.3, execute the following command on the Data ONTAP that is to be managed:
  >secureadmin setup ssl <RETURN>
  >options tls.enable on <RETURN>
  >secureadmin enable ssl <RETURN>
3. Creation of Aggregates
  Create more than one aggregate, referring to the "Data ONTAP Storage Management Guide" manual.
  Set any desired number when subdividing the management, such as when managing by users.
  Aggregates can be added later.
4. Fibre Channel Connection Environment Settings
  Configure the following settings, referring to the "Data ONTAP Block Access Management Guide for iSCSI and FC" manual.
  - Configure the license settings of the Fibre Channel service.
  - Confirm the port settings, and configure the FC port for connection with the managed server as the target port.
5. Creation of portset
  Refer to the "Data ONTAP Block Access Management Guide for iSCSI and FC" manual, and create one or more portsets that combine FC ports used for access to the L-Server disk.
  Up to two port numbers can be set up per portset.
  When using NetApp storage with multiple controllers, create it combining the FC ports of the different controllers.
  Use the following name for the portset name:
  rcx-portsetNN (*1)
  *1: For NN, specify a number from 00 - 99
  Note
  - For the FC port to register in a portset, specify an FC port that is not registered in another portset.
  - Specify the FC port the Fibre Channel cable was connected to.
  - No portset other than the rcx-portsetNN is used.
For iSCSI Connections
Perform the following operations referring to the "Data ONTAP Block Access Management Guide for iSCSI and FC":
- Creation of LUNs to connect to L-Servers
- Confirmation of storage information to register using the operation command for iSCSI boot (rcxadm iscsictl)
  The main definition information is as follows:
  For details, refer to "2.4.2 iSCSI Boot Information" of the "Reference Guide (Resource Management) CE".
  - Storage Information
    IP address of the storage port used for iSCSI
    Storage port IQN name used for iSCSI
  - Server Information
    IP address of the server used for iSCSI
    Server IQN name used for iSCSI
  - Disk Information
    LUN disk size used for iSCSI boot
  - Authentication Information for iSCSI
  Note
  - Disks with iSCSI boot information registered may be detected as resources of registered storage management software.
    Do not use the disks for iSCSI boot as the LUNs created in advance.
  - If iSCSI boot information already registered is specified, the registered information continues to exist.
    If the registered information is changed, delete the iSCSI boot information using the unregister subcommand, and then register the iSCSI boot information by using the register subcommand again.

When Connecting NetApp Storage to Fibre Channel Switches

In Resource Orchestrator, when creating disks from NetApp aggregates, configuration of Fibre Channel switches connected to NetApp is not performed.

It is necessary to configure one-to-one WWPN zoning for Fibre Channel switches in advance.

It is necessary to define zoning combining the fibre channel switch combining the HBA Port WWPN value based on the WWN provided by the I/O Virtualization Option and the FC port WWPN value defined in the NetApp portset used in Resource Orchestrator. For details on the configuration method, refer to the manual of the fibre channel switch.

Fibre Channel Switch Zoning Settings

Set zoning combining the WWPN value of HBA Port1 and the WWPN value of defined FC port first in portset, and combining the WWPN value of HBA Port2 and the WWPN value of defined FC port second in portset.

In the following conditions, an example command for an ETERNUS SN200 is as follows:

Conditions

WWN value provided by the I/O Virtualization Option: "20:00:00:17:42:51:00:0x"
WWPN value of HBA Port1: "21:00:00:17:42:51:00:0x"
WWPN value of HBA Port2: "22:00:00:17:42:51:00:0x"
Definition of the NetApp storage portset (rcx-portset01): "0a,0b"
WWPN value of FC port(0a) for NetApp storage: "50:0a:09:81:88:bc:43:dc"
WWPN value of FC port(0b) for NetApp storage: "50:0a:09:82:88:bc:43:dc"

Example Command

zoneCreate "f2020_a_0","50:0a:09:81:88:bc:43:dc;21:00:00:17:42:51:00:00"
