Virtual Data Mover (VDM)
What is a VDM?
=============
-It is a feature that allows the separation of CIFS servers and their associated environment into virtual containers
-Enables replication of CIFS environments from a primary site to a secondary site without impacting server access
-Allows the movement of CIFS servers from one Data Mover to another
-VDMs store dynamic configuration data such as; local groups, shares, security credentials, audit logs, home dir information, kerberos
NetApp Cluster-mode networking deep dive!
While administering NetApp cluster-mode, it's very important to understand networking and related concepts for successful troubleshooting in case of network failures. In this post I will be discussing the key network concepts related to cluster-mode.
Networking has gained special focus in cluster-mode with a goal to integrate fully qualified, high-performance switches into the sacle-out cluster and management networl
Key concepts:
==========
-Each controller have multiple physical network ports depending upon the controller model
-Physical network ports and logical interfaces (LIFs) are two different entities
-SAN environments use HBA ports as data ports
