NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP
===========================
The Manila Shared Filesystem Management 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
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.
