The Migration Path to CDOT

Alex Dawson, Solution Engineer


• Pre-sales technical staff work closely with professional services staff

• Validated technical solutions on your data centre floor

• Scalar Project Management oversees all professional services engagements

• Provide planning, status updates, project close-out

The Scalar Process


• Design sessions for network connectivity

• Design sessions for storage layout, SVM layout

• Design sessions for replication

• Data classification

• System implementation

• Migration and documentation

High level process


To begin, a quick vocabulary check

• Physical connections are PORTS

• Access data or administration through INTERFACES (LIFs)

• Each controller is a NODE

• Data is served by a Storage Virtual Machine, or SVM

Understanding Clustered ONTAP


• How many ports, to where, for what?

• What will go on those ports? IP ranges, VLANs

• LACP LAGs, VLAN trunks

• Leads to requirements for upstream network design

• Can be simple, or rich, depending on use case for SAN

Design for network connectivity


• During the purchasing process, there will have been discussions on how much storage, and for what, usually in broad terms

• In this stage, we decide exactly which disks, shelves go where, with which controllers

• Decide on aggregate layouts, SVM design

• SVM design – less is better, but segregation of administration is a key benefit, so don’t be afraid to use them

Design for storage layout


• All data is served by SVMs, through logical interfaces (LIFs), either over IPs or FC WWPNs

• Decide which LIFs, for what, for which SVM

• Including Administration and data access IPs

Design for storage layout


• Are we replicating data? If so, to where?

• Mirroring? Or vaulting? (Different copies on primary and secondary) Or both?

• How are we replicating? IP addresses dedicated to replication are used

• Define data tiers, RPO and RTO for those tiers

• Design replication schedules

Design for replication


• 99% of systems we install are replacing something else, either a file server or servers or an existing SAN

• What is on the old environment? How can we move it to the new environment?

• Group data sets by migration options, outage tolerances

Data classification


• Physical installation

• Cabling

• Formatting drives

• Configure SVMs

• Configure volumes, LUNs

• Configure replication and protection

Implementation


• Storage VMotion for VMWare

• Physical server options – disk mirroring/splitting (dynamic disks or LVM), server mirroring (P2V), local data migration using DoubleTake Move, local data migration using robocopy/rsync, SAN level migrations using NetApp DTA, or Foreign LUN Import

• NAS migration using rsync/robocopy or third party tools(Some very good options from third parties)

Migration and documentation


• Full configuration validation

• NetApp Config Advisor tool run through

• System Installation Workbook

• Learningcenter.netapp.com

• OnCommand System Manager

• OnCommand Unified Manager

Documentation & Training
