NetApp ONTAP Plug-in
1598+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1599+
1600+
This plugin enables NetApp Unified ONTAP storage systems as a managed primary
1601+
storage in CloudStack for KVM hypervisors. It supports both NFS 3.0 and iSCSI
1602+
protocols, integrating with the traditional ONTAP unified storage architecture.
1603+
1604+
This documentation assumes you have the following configured in your
1605+
environment before adding a storage pool in CloudStack:
1606+
1607+
- NetApp Unified ONTAP 9.15.1 or higher.
1608+
- A Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) in ONTAP storage with NFS 3.0 or iSCSI protocol enabled.
1609+
- Only an IPv4-type Data LIF is supported. The Data LIF must be reachable from all KVM hypervisor hosts in CloudStack.
1610+
- Ensure Storage VM (SVM) is mapped to aggregates (aggrs) with sufficient
1611+
capacity.
1612+
- For iSCSI: iSCSI protocol enabled on the KVM host and adapter is configured.
1613+
- For NFS 3.0: NFS protocol enabled on the KVM host.
1614+
1615+
When this storage pool is used with Compute or Disk Offerings, an administrator
1616+
is able to build an environment in which a root or data disk that a user creates
1617+
leads to the dynamic creation of a LUN or file on the ONTAP volume. Such a
1618+
LUN or file is associated with one (and only ever one) CloudStack volume.
1619+
1620+
Through the CloudStack UI, you can create ONTAP storage pool using these
1621+
required fields:
1622+
1623+
- Provider: NetApp ONTAP
1624+
- Scope: Zone or Cluster
1625+
- Zone: target zone name
1626+
- Pod: Pod name (required for Cluster scope)
1627+
- Cluster: Cluster name (required for Cluster scope)
1628+
- Name: storage pool name
1629+
- Protocol: NFS3 or ISCSI
1630+
- Storage Array IP: ONTAP Storage IP or Management LIF
1631+
- Username: ONTAP Storage IP username (Cluster-level)
1632+
- Password: ONTAP Storage IP password (cluster-level)
1633+
- SVM Name: SVM name in ONTAP storage
1634+
- Capacity Bytes: total capacity in bytes
1635+
- Storage Tags: storage pool tags
