8. Clustered Data ONTAP Terminology
© 2015 NetApp, Inc. All rights reserved.8
HA HA
Node: A single storage controller running one
instance of Data ONTAP® and its attached storage
HA pair: Equals 2-nodes; HA interconnect for
heartbeat and resiliency
Cluster interconnect: 10GbE network
connection for data communication across nodes
Storage virtual machine (SVM):
Logical abstraction of resources through which data is
accessed; contains volumes and LIFs
Logical network interface (LIF):
Logical element that maps an IP address or WWPN to a
physical network port on a node
Cluster: Logical grouping of storage systems
composed of nodes, disks, and a cluster network
LIF4 LIF3 LIF2 LIF1
HA Pair HA Pair

10. NetApp Data ONTAP Device module
§ First Puppet module for managing storage infrastructure
§ State driven approach for storage automation
§ Augments DevOps model by facilitating quick and reliable transitions between different
storage configurations
§ Enables creation of storage catalogs for common storage operations
(E.g. provisioning of a Logical Unit Volume to a client from NetApp storage)
§ Infrastructure as Code

21. Conclusion
© 2015 NetApp, Inc. All rights reserved.21
§ NetApp is a Fortune 500 company that sells data management and
storage solutions
§ NetApp has partnered with Puppet to make our storage platforms
configurable in the same manner as most other components of your
datacenter
§ The Network Device functionality leveraged by the co-developed
Apache 2 licensed Puppet module provides
§ A declarative (tell me what you want) style configuration template that reduces
complexity and time to value
§ Provides consistency in common administration operations and tasks using
repeatable automation
§ Multi-tenancy operations that leverage the power of Data ONTAP for cluster-
scoped or SVM scoped operations that suit whatever your needs
