Licensing Model Overview
Changes
Remains the Same
• FAS Controller/Node specific licensing
Entitlement
Model
• Licensed to lifespan of the controller, to the
initial “sold to” customer only
No changes.
• HA-Pairs must be uniformly entitled
• Clusters remain uniformly entitled
Compliance
Enforcement
• Relaxed enforcement within a cluster
• Uniform Cluster licensing contractually
enforced, but not technologically enforced
within a cluster
• Unified set of SW SKU’s regardless of mode,
connected to one key generator
• One set of keys per feature, regardless of
• Compliance enforcement is managed primarily
through license keys
• EULA Audit provisions
• 7-mode concept of “license key in a key slot” to
activate a revenue feature remains, this
concept now works across a cluster as well
mode, to simplify sales & cluster transitions
License Keys
• Each key embeds a controller serial #
• Keys are no longer portable between
controllers
• Demo/Eval Keys are now date specific with
install counts eliminated

Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 –
Licensing Model Overview
Changes
• Sales can quote either version 8.1 or 8.2
Order
• ASUP & prior cluster sales data available to
promote uniform entitlement
Remains the Same
• Current GA release is the default software
option
• ONTAP SW Packaging & Pricing
• Complete Bundle renamed to Premium Bundle
Fulfillment
• PTO will support 8.1 until inventory close out
• Burdensome “Inc-tot” cluster licensing gone!
• CTO Systems arrive with license keys installed
• PTO to inventory latest GA ONTAP version
• License Keys available on SupportSite per
Controller or Cluster Serial Number
• Cluster reconfigs & expansion does not require
new license keys if node(s) have matching
entitlements
• SupportSite shows all Controllers in a cluster &
Support
associated keys
• Better process for key creation or replacement
• Cluster Create requires a Cluster Base license
key
• Break/fix Head Swaps require entitlement
transfer
• License Keys available on SupportSite
to facilitate faster transitions
• 90 day licensing grace period to provision realtime head-swaps & take entitlement transfers
off of Service’s critical path

QoS Policy Groups
 Defines isolation boundaries
between sets of workloads
 Contains one or more storage objects
– Vserver, Volumes, LUNs or File
 Policies are behaviors applied
collectively to a policy group
 Policies supported in ONTAP 8.2 are
throughput limits
 Throughput is defined in terms of
– IOPS
QoS Policy Group
Name: qos_policy
Volume

QoS Value Proposition
 Enables consolidation of mixed workloads in a
shared storage infrastructure
– Prevents runaway workloads from impacting
other workloads in the cluster
 Enables service providers to deploy multiple
tenants on a shared storage infrastructure
– Drive down infrastructure costs per tenant, while
meeting their SLOs
– Prevent tenants from impacting each other
– Enable “Get no more than what you purchased”

Scalable SAN Enhancements
Features
Description / Benefit
Scaling up to 8 nodes;
50,000 LUNs per cluster;
8,000 LUNs per node
Users can continue to scale their SAN configurations with
scale-up as well as scale-out with support for up to 8
nodes and 50,000 LUNs in a SAN or Unified Storage (SAN
& NAS) infrastructure.
VMware vStorage API
Integrating the VMware VAAI (vSphere Storage APIs for
Array Integration), clustered ONTAP enables enhanced
Virtual Machine Management, including such operations
as storage driven Virtual Machine Cloning, Instant
Provisioning, and Enhanced Performance
Windows Server 2012
Copy Offload
Using Copy Offload reduces CPU, Memory and Network
utilization for WS2012 hosts by offloading the copy
operation to the storage controller.
IPv6 iSCSI
With the continued drive to IPv6 capable networks,
NetApp offers support for iSCSI services in IPv6
environments with clustered ONTAP 8.2

simplicity and scale, without compromising on performance and resiliency.
Application-level consistent backup and storage migration for a complete
solution.
 ODX
–
Offloaded Data Transfer (aka Copy Offload) offloads copy operations from
the client to the storage server offering zero utilization of client processor
or network bandwidth for rapid provisioning scenarios.
 Witness Protocol
–
Enables faster, non-disruptive failovers with a standby LIF ready to go
 CA Shares
–
Enables non-disruptive access to Continuously Available shares when
used in Hyper-V over SMB environments, utilizing Persistent Handles

Benefits of FlexCache
 Lower costs with improved system utilization
– Enables load-balancing
– No need to provision for peak load
 Reduce time-to-market
– Scale-out performance for read or metadata-intensive workloads
– Enable increase in # of compute servers that need read access to
the same data
 Automated serving of current data
– Support for read delegations for files in FlexCache removes need
for schedule based replication (Load share mirrors)
 Space efficient
– Only data accessed is cached

Problem
 Node 1 is overloaded due to reads of
files in volume A from many clients
Solution
 Create cache vols on nodes 1, 2, 3 & 4
 Distribute client reads to volume A files
to origin/cache volumes across all nodes
Node 1
Node 2
Node 3
