Description:
The NetApp DataFort security appliance encrypts network data in transit to storage,
providing authentication, fine grain access controls and secure logging in the process. ESeries appliances secure file-based data in Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems. These
appliances support Network File System (NFS) and Common Internet File System (CIFS)
protocols. When installed between clients and file servers or initiators and targets, the
DataFort appliance encrypts data en route to storage, and decrypts it as it is read by clients or
initiators without impact on the existing network structure. The DataFort appliance supports
the creation of secured targets or directories called Cryptainer vaults in which encrypted data
is stored. Data remains encrypted while stored in a Cryptainer vault, protected from
unauthorized access. When requested by an authorized client, the DataFort appliance
decrypts and then forwards the data to the appropriate destination. Network clients can access
their own Cryptainer vaults, storing data the same way they normally would on the network,
but with the added protection of encryption.
Responsibilities include:
 Installing the firmware and configuration of NAS dataforts.
 Setting up the NAS testbed which include connectivity across the dataforts, filer,
switches, clients etc, and troubleshooting the setup issues.
 Reviewing the design documents.
 Writing the test spec and test cases.
 Testing the CIFS/ NFS cryptainer related behavior, ACL’s and performing iSCSI
related basic tests, NetApp Snap tools support with the datafort.
 Reporting the defects found.
 Troubleshooting and reproducing the defects/customer issues on need basis.
 Performing the defect analysis for the regression defects.
 Reviewing and modifying the automation scripts.
 Worked in Onsite (Redwood city, USA) for knowledge sharing during May ’08.

Description:
HP StorageWorks SAN division owns products for Storage array and related software. Array
Integrated Software (AIS) is a software suite which includes storage array element
management called Command View EVA (CV) and replication software called Replication
Solutions Manager (RSM). Qualification testing of AIS includes Functional Testing using
different user interfaces and installation testing of RSM agent on different host platforms.
Additionally the performance monitory utility is tested by comparing the numbers with that
of Windows performance monitoring tool. An automation framework is being built that
supports multiplatform, Test Definition Language (TDL) for test interface abstraction, XML
sniffer to record XML exchanges and integration with HP Quality Center for test
management for end-to-end execution.
Responsibilities include:
 Identifying and prioritizing the test cases that can be automated.
 Involving in the extension of automation framework design to cater the requirements
of testing for RSM.
 Migrating the projects in Quality center on regular basis
 Configuring the framework and target servers
 Writing and reviewing the TDLs in XML
 Executing and validating the TDLs
 Setting up the SAN for the execution and validation.
 Interacting with vendor on resolving the queries, troubleshooting the setup regularly.

Description:
HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions Manager is a graphical and command line user
interface for managing replication on HP storage arrays. It is provided with licensed
replication products, including HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA, which provides the
local replication functionality and HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA which
provides the remote replication functionality. RSM architecture has two components called
Server and Host Agent (HA). RSM Server communicates with the EVA through the under
layered products. Server communicates with the HA to perform Host specific jobs. RSM
Server is supported on Windows. RSM Host Agent is supported on 7 platforms: AIX, HPUX, Linux, Open VMS, Solaris Tru64 and Windows. RSM Server and Host Agent
communicate to the EVA through HP StorageWorks Command View EVA.

Description:
Callgen is a voice bulk call generator tool, which simulates voice, fax and modem traffic on
the routers. This tool is used internally to test various features of the routers. It is developed
as an extension to the IOS on the routers. It supports various types of voice, fax and modem
calls. For instance, it can generate a basic analog voice call using the analog ports. Also, it
supports the digital voice calls using various types of signaling such as CAS, ISDN PRI etc.
Along, with this it supports both fax relay and fax pass-through calls. It generates data calls
using the DDR technology.
Responsibilities include:
 Performing regression testing for all the existing features with the new versions of the
tool.
 Deriving test cases and developing test plan for the new features of each version
being released.
 Performing manual testing for the new features with the test cases derived.
 Automating the new features test cases in TCL.
 Enhancing the existing scripts if any required.
