NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP driver
The Shared File Systems service can be configured to
use NetApp clustered Data ONTAP version 8.
Network approach
L3 connectivity between the storage cluster and Shared File Systems
service host should exist, and VLAN segmentation should be configured.
The clustered Data ONTAP driver creates storage virtual machines
(SVM, previously known as vServers) as representations of the
Shared File Systems service share server interface, configures
logical interfaces (LIFs) and stores shares there.
Supported shared filesystems
NFS (access by IP)
CIFS (authentication by user)
Required licenses
NFS
CIFS
FlexClone
Known restrictions
For CIFS shares an external active directory service is
required. Its data should be provided via security-service
that is attached to used share-network.
Share access rule by user for CIFS shares can be created only
for existing user in active directory.
To be able to configure clients to security services, the time
on these external security services and storage should be
synchronized. The maximum allowed clock skew is 5 minutes.
