Example configurations

Here are some examples for backend configurations with the ONTAP SAN Drivers. These examples are classified into two types:

1. Basic configurations that leave most parameters to default. This is the easiest way to define a backend.
2. Backends with Virtual Storage Pools.

Minimal backend configuration for ontap drivers

ontap-san driver with bidirectional CHAP

This basic configuration creates a ontap-san backend with useCHAP set to true.

{
    "version": 1,
    "storageDriverName": "ontap-san",
    "managementLIF": "10.0.0.1",
    "dataLIF": "10.0.0.3",
    "svm": "svm_iscsi",
    "useCHAP": true,
    "igroupName": "trident",
    "username": "vsadmin",
    "password": "secret"
}

ontap-san-economy driver

{
    "version": 1,
    "storageDriverName": "ontap-san-economy",
    "managementLIF": "10.0.0.1",
    "svm": "svm_iscsi_eco",
    "useCHAP": true,
    "igroupName": "trident",
    "username": "vsadmin",
    "password": "secret"
}

Backend and storage class configuration for ontap drivers with virtual storage pools

These examples show the backend definition file configured with virtual storage pools along with StorageClasses that refer back to them.

In the sample backend definition file shown below, specific defaults are set for all storage pools, such as spaceReserve at none, spaceAllocation at false, and encryption at false. The virtual storage pools are defined in the storage section. In this example, some of the storage pool sets their own spaceReserve, spaceAllocation, and encryption values, and some pools overwrite the default values set above.

            }
        }
    ]
}

Mapping backends to StorageClasses

The following StorageClass definitions refer to the above virtual storage pools. Using the parameters.selector field, each StorageClass calls out which virtual pool(s) may be used to host a volume. The volume will have the aspects defined in the chosen virtual pool.

• The first StorageClass (protection-gold) will map to the first, second virtual storage pool in ontap-nas-flexgroup backend and the first virtual storage pool in ontap-san backend . These are the only pool offering gold level protection.
• The second StorageClass (protection-not-gold) will map to the third, fourth virtual storage pool in ontap-nas-flexgroup backend and the second, third virtual storage pool in ontap-san backend . These are the only pool offering protection level other than gold.
• The third StorageClass (app-mysqldb) will map to the fourth virtual storage pool in ontap-nas backend and the third virtual storage pool in ontap-san-economy backend . These are the only pool offering storage pool configuration for mysqldb type app.
• The fourth StorageClass (protection-silver-creditpoints-20k) will map to the third virtual storage pool in ontap-nas-flexgroup backend and the second virtual storage pool in ontap-san backend . These are the only pool offering gold level protection at 20000 creditpoints.
• The fifth StorageClass (creditpoints-5k) will map to the second virtual storage pool in ontap-nas-economy backend and the third virtual storage pool in ontap-san backend. These are the only pool offerings at 5000 creditpoints.

Trident will decide which virtual storage pool is selected and will ensure the storage requirement is met.
