NOWdownloadsoftwareontap9. Theres so much here, so lets start with the obvious first The Name Change. Net. Apps flagship OS Clustered Data. ONTAP is now simple just ONTAP with the new release to simply be known as ONTAP 9. Whats also a bit different is that Net. App will not refer to ONTAP as an OS, but rather just Net. App ONTAP software. This has a lot to do with the upcoming release of ONTAP Select, the version of ONTAP that will run on white box hardware more on that later. Other slight name changes include the renaming of Net. App Cloud ONTAP to just ONTAP Cloud. Heres a chart comparing the old and new names Whats Not Changing Technical references to specific Data ONTAP productsincluding clustered Data ONTAP, Data ONTAP 8. Ansys Acoustic Tutorial Pdf there. Data ONTAP operating in 7 Mode. So why the name change and why now In a word, simplicity. Net. App is heading in the right direction here. Original release date November 27, 2017 The USCERT Cyber Security Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have been recorded by the National. Update You can now download ONTAP 9 GA from here http Theres so much here, so. OnCommand System Manager 3. Storage Virtual MachineSVM System Manager. Net. App has never been known as the array thats the most simple to use and operate, but youll see that with ONTAP 9 and all utilities going forward this will be a major focus for Net. App and it starts with the name change. A good portion of whats new in the ONTAP 9 release is to simplify deployments and operations. Lets talk about new features in ONTAP 9. This is not meant to be a full list, just some of what I think is really cool. New RAID format RAID TEC Triple Erasure Encoding. This new RAID format is designed for triple parity protection for the larger SATA and SSD disk sizes. This will essentially allow for much larger RAID Group sizes on the large disks. Translation More usable space and better protection of large drives sizes. RAID TEC will be the default going forward on any drives 6. TB and larger and required for drives 1. TB and larger. You will be able to covert existing RAID DP aggregates non disruptively to RAID TEC groups as well. Keep an eye out for an upcoming blog post for more in depth breakdown of RAID TEC. New inline data reduction technology Compaction. From the company that pioneered data dedupe and compression on tier 1 data, comes a brand new technology from Net. App Compaction. So what the heck is Compaction First of all, Net. App currently has inline dedupe and inline compression. Compaction works inline in conjunction with dedupe and compression. Activar protocolo CIFS en SAN NetApp uso de CIFS en Active Directory Windows Proyecto AjpdSoft. The idea of compaction is that storage space usage can be considerably reduced if multiple IOs or files can be stored together in a singular 4. KB block. Compaction happens on logical blocks as they are being organized before being written to storage. Net. App claims this process uses very little CPU and has no performance impact. Ill detail the space savings on existing volumes as soon as I have a chance to try out this new tech. Onboard Key Manager for Full Disk Encryption at rest Making full disk encryption more easily accessible is always a good thing. One of the most welcome features of ONTAP 9 has to be onboard key management. This feature was designed to quickly and simply deploy encryption at rest technology. Only a single passphrase is required to set this up. All keys are automatically generated and stored locally in the ONTAP cluster. Most importantly, no need to manage encryption keys Of course, external key management KMIP servers are still supported as needed, but Im digging this new feature. Advanced Data Partition Enhancements Net. App has put a ton of work into enhancing the ADP feature that was release in ONTAP 8. If you recall, the idea of this feature was to return a ton of usable space that was locked up in the required root aggregates in ONTAP. This ended up being a huge improvement in usable space from RAW. The new enhancements in ONTAP 9 take this idea and expand on it further, which is now even more critical with the larger SSD drive sizes hitting the street. Net. App estimates that the changes in ADP will return 1. Not bad at all. Other Enhancements Snap. Lock returns. If you remember this feature from the 7 mode days, this gives storage operators WORM capabilities and greater compliance with data retention requirements by being able to lock data in place and guarantee that it has been unaltered. All Flash Performance Enhancements. It seems that every release from Net. App bumps up performance on all flash configurations, and ONTAP 9 is no different. Net. App claims that ONTAP 9 should produce 6. IOPS versus 8. 3. Enhanced Analytics. FlexPod System Overview. FlexPod is a best practice datacenter architecture that includes three components Cisco Unified Computing System Cisco UCS. Keep an eye out for a new head room metric that works in conjunction with the upcoming On. Command Performance Manager 3. The idea of this new feature will be to show how utilized each node in a cluster is. System%20Manager%20community%20page%20copy.jpg' alt='Netapp Oncommand System Manager 3.0' title='Netapp Oncommand System Manager 3.0' />This provides insight into how much additional workload your system is able to handle. System Manager Enhancements. The evolution of the on cluster System Manager software continues with ONTAP 9. New menu placements. Real time performance graphs on any object in the cluster are some of the highlights. XvULsuHyIRo/hqdefault.jpg' alt='Netapp Oncommand System Manager 3.0' title='Netapp Oncommand System Manager 3.0' />ONTAP Select This one is going to require a whole dedicated blog post for, so keep an eye out for that. In a nutshell this is a full ONTAP 9 single node or 4 node cluster that runs as virtual machines on any hardware. This is the full goodness that is ONTAP with the full flexibility to run on any commodity hardware This is certainly an evolution of ONTAP Edge, but EDGE was never multi node clusters with HA. More to come on this. Hardware Announcements. With all that is new with ONTAP 9, lets not forget about all the new hardware announcements as well. TB SSD Yes, you read that right. Ralf Stumpf Matcap Adobe. Dont let the start ups let you think theyve cornered the market on innovation. Net. App is first to the market with 1. TB SSD in a 2. 5 form factor. Imagine a single 2 rack unit high 2. TB SSD drives. Net. App is now estimating a 4 1 effective capacity on All Flash FAS running ONTAP 9. If those numbers hold, a single shelf of these drives would yield over 1. PB effective capacity New 1. GB SAS Disk Shelves With shiny new SSD drives were going to need some new SAS shelves, correct In step the new 1. GB SAS drive shelves. Take a look at the new drive shelves being announced below. Historically the last digit in the Net. App shelf ID has been the SAS speed of the shelf. So why C you ask C just happens to be 1. Want to try on ONTAP 9 for yourself Neil Anderson over at Flack. Box. com has produced a free ebook on how to set up an ONTAP 9 simulator on your workstation to try out all the lovely ONTAP goodness. You can get the free ebook HERE.
