NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP
===========================

The Shared File Systems service can be configured to use
NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP (cDOT) version 8.2 and later.

Supported Operations
--------------------

The following operations are supported on Clustered Data ONTAP:

- Create CIFS/NFS Share
- Delete CIFS/NFS Share
- Allow NFS Share access

  * IP access type is supported for NFS.
  * Read/write and read-only access are supported for NFS.

- Allow CIFS Share access

  * User access type is supported for CIFS.
  * Read/write access is supported for CIFS.

- Deny CIFS/NFS Share access
- Create snapshot
- Delete snapshot
- Create share from snapshot
- Extend share
- Shrink share
- Manage share
- Unmanage share
- Create consistency group
- Delete consistency group
- Create consistency group from CG snapshot
- Create CG snapshot
- Delete CG snapshot
- Create a replica (DHSS=False)
- Promote a replica (DHSS=False)
- Delete a replica (DHSS=False)
- Update a replica (DHSS=False)
- Create a replicated snapshot (DHSS=False)
- Delete a replicated snapshot (DHSS=False)
- Update a replicated snapshot (DHSS=False)

.. note::

    :term:`DHSS` is abbreviated from `driver_handles_share_servers`.

Supported Operating Modes
-------------------------

The cDOT driver supports both 'driver_handles_share_servers' (:term:`DHSS`)
modes.

If 'driver_handles_share_servers' is True, the driver will create a storage
virtual machine (SVM, previously known as vServers) for each unique tenant
network and provision each of a tenant's shares into that SVM.  This requires
the user to specify both a share network as well as a share type with the DHSS
extra spec set to True when creating shares.

If 'driver_handles_share_servers' is False, the manila admin must configure a
single SVM, along with associated LIFs and protocol services, that will be
used for provisioning shares.  The SVM is specified in the manila config file.

Network approach
----------------

L3 connectivity between the storage cluster and manila host must exist, and
VLAN segmentation may be configured.  All of manila's network plug-ins are
supported with the cDOT driver.

Supported shared filesystems
----------------------------

- NFS (access by IP address or subnet)
- CIFS (authentication by user)

Required licenses
-----------------

- NFS
- CIFS
- FlexClone

Known restrictions
------------------

- For CIFS shares an external Active Directory (AD) service is required. The AD
  details should be provided via a manila security service that is attached to
  the specified share network.
- Share access rules for CIFS shares may be created only for existing users
  in Active Directory.
- The time on external security services and storage must be synchronized. The
  maximum allowed clock skew is 5 minutes.
- cDOT supports only flat and VLAN network segmentation types.
