Slightly Larger Aggregates
Only data disks count against aggregate size– Parity disks no longer count in aggregate capacity
Allows more data disks per aggregate– 15% or more usable capacity per aggregate; depends on
disk drive size
– Can expand existing aggregates to larger capacity May also slightly increase aggregate-level
performance for disk-bound aggregates

Faster Takeover/Giveback
Hardware Assisted Takeover for active/active controller configurations– Reduced failure detection time: 15 seconds to
~1 second
– Requires RLM moduleSub 60-second takeover/giveback for
majority of installed FCP configurations– Achieved through increased efficiencies of
multiple components

Multi-CPU Performance Improvements
Ongoing optimizations and parallelism for four-way FAS platforms– Better CPU utilization for FAS platforms with four or more
processors/cores – FAS3070, FAS6070, FAS6080
– More efficient distribution of parallel network layer processing on multiple CPUs
– Move write allocation processing from kernel to separate domain
Performance improvements are workload dependent– Most protocols should see benefit to some degree -
NFSv3, CIFS, iSCSI Transparent - no configuration or commands

Networking Improvements
Can block protocols per physical interface– CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, ftpd, SnapMirror®
Increased maximum network interfaces– Was 128 – now up to 1024

SA Personality
Different nameplate on the bezel Different model strings in the EEPROM
– Cannot convert to FAS or V-Series Restricted licenses – only supports:
– flexcache_nfs: Enables FlexCacheTM feature
– cluster: Enables 2 SA Systems in an HA configuration
– flex_scale: Enables Performance Acceleration Module
Can only create FlexCache volumes on the SA – No other file access protocols supported
– Cannot create Origin volumes on the SA

New FlexCache Feature: autogrow
Manages the size of FlexCacheTM volumes– Recommended for easier management of FlexCache
volume size
– FlexCache volumes that are too small can reduce caching performance.
FlexCache volume size increases automatically– Provides more disk space for storing cached data
– Minimizes the need to eject data from the cache
– Requires space in the containing aggregate Enabled by default on all new FlexCache volumes

Deduplication
Minimum requirement Data ONTAP® 7.2.4 – Eliminates duplicate data blocks anywhere in a
FlexVol® volume
– Enabled at volume level
– Protocol and application agnostic – CIFS/NFS, FCP/iSCSI, NDMP
– No charge license
– Significant space savings possible
© 2008 NetApp. All rights reserved. NetApp Confidential – Do Not Distribute 35
Deduplication – how it works
4K blocks with identical checksums identified as deduplication candidates – Checksums computed by RAID-DP® and stored in fingerprint file
Byte for byte comparison to prevent false duplicate checksums Duplicated blocks are deleted – frees up space Use multiple reference pointers to each duplicated block
