  • Using Red Hat Client with Netapp Storage Over NFS Bikash Roy Choudhury, Netapp October 2013 | TR-3183
    Technical Report Using Red Hat Client with NetApp Storage over NFS Bikash Roy Choudhury, NetApp October 2013 | TR-3183 Abstract This report helps you to get the best from your Linux® NFS clients when used in an environment that includes NetApp® storage. Most of the discussion revolves around Red Hat Enterprise (RHEL) clients. This document does not include best practices and recommendations for block protocols like FCP and iSCSI. The paper highlight some of the best practices and tuning parameters that would be required for running user home directories and regular UNIX® file systems. The paper describes various tuning options on RHEL clients and diagnoses performance and reliability problems. Every workload has a different access pattern and characterization; we recommend appropriate tuning on RHEL clients based on the workload characterization, which should not be treated as “one size fits all" for all workloads. Separate technical reports have been published for different applications that provide recommendations for specific workloads. In this paper you will learn where to look for more information when faced with problems that are d ifficult to diagnose. Storage tuning information specific to your application may be available in other NetApp technical reports and solution guides.

Included in the base system is the tool chain, the set of programs used to build, debug and test software. FreeBSD has relied on the GNU tool chain suite for most of its history. This includes the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) compiler, and GNU binutils which include the GNU "bfd" linker. These tools served the FreeBSD project well from 1993 until 2007, when the GNU project migrated to releasing its software under the General Public License, version 3 (GPLv3). A number of FreeBSD developers and users objected to new restrictions included in GPLv3, and the GNU tool chain became increasingly outdated. The January/February issue of the FreeBSD Journal is now available. Don't miss articles on The FreeBSD project migrated to Clang/LLVM for the compiler in Tracing ifconfig Commands, Storage FreeBSD 10, and most of GNU binutils were replaced with the ELF Tool Multipathing, and more.

  • Introduction to IBM System Storage N Series Data ONTAP 8.0
    Redpaper Alex Osuna Roland Tretau Introduction to IBM System Storage N series Data ONTAP 8.0 This IBM® Redpaper™ document provides an introduction to Data ONTAP® 8.0 7-mode. It describes the enhanced functionality in the latest release and gives step-by-step guidance for new installation and to upgrade from Data ONTAP 7G. IBM System Storage® N series systems employ Data ONTAP, a highly scalable and flexible operating system for network storage appliances used in heterogeneous host environments. Data ONTAP can reduce storage management complexity in your enterprise, delivering flexible management and supporting high availability and business continuance. A brief history of Data ONTAP Figure 1 on page 2 shows the genealogy of Data ONTAP 8.0, which was developed by Network Appliance™ Inc. From 2004 until 2006, NetApp® continued to sell SpinServer® systems, which included the SpinFS® file system running in a Linux® environment IBM and the N series product line did not. Data ONTAP GX was created as a combination of the WAFL® file system and SpinFS running in a FreeBSD environment. Data ONTAP 8.0 brings Data ONTAP 7G and Data ONTAP GX together into a single storage operating system, also running on FreeBSD. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2010. All rights reserved. ibm.com/redbooks 1 Having two products provided a way to meet the needs of the N series customers who were happy with Data ONTAP 7G, while allowing customers with certain application requirements to use Data ONTAP GX to achieve even higher levels of performance, and with the flexibility and transparency afforded by its scale-out architecture.
