4 Introduction This paper details the steps to deploy Riverbed Granite appliances with an existing NetApp storage system in order to expose one or more iscsi LUNs to a Remote / Branch Office. After completing the steps in this guide, the iscsi LUNs can then be attached to the desired systems through normal attach procedures in the operating system or device. Audience This paper is written for storage and network administrators familiar with administering and managing distributed office environments using common network and storage protocols such as iscsi, SCSI, TCP, CIFS, HTTP, FTP, and NFS. You must also be familiar with: NetApp Storage System management interface. Riverbed Steelhead management interface. Riverbed Steelhead appliance installation and configuration process Additional Resources For a complete list and the most current version of Riverbed documentation log in to the Riverbed support website: The Riverbed Knowledge Base is a database of known issues, how-to documents, system requirements, and common error messages.

5 Granite Overview Granite products enable users and applications in branch office locations to write to and access centrally managed storage while maintaining local disk performance. By accelerating branch access to data center deployed Storage Area Networks (SANs), IT organizations no longer need to provision and maintain dedicated storage resources in branch offices. The Granite solution is deployed in conjunction with Steelhead appliances and consists of two components: Granite Core a physical or virtual appliance that resides in the data center alongside centralized storage Granite Edge a module that runs on a Steelhead EX appliance in the branch office Granite Core mounts iscsi LUNs provisioned in the data center and shares the storage resources with branch offices running the Granite Edge module. Granite Edge virtually presents one or more iscsi targets in the branch which can be utilized by services and systems running both within the Riverbed Virtual Services Platform (VSP) as well as externally to the Steelhead EX appliance. Granite Core inspects mounted file systems and is able to proactively stream data to the branch locations utilizing innovative blocklevel prediction algorithms. This industry-first capability allows data from centralized storage to be available wherever and whenever it is needed. Through asynchronous block-based write acceleration, Granite Edge ensures that data created in branch office locations is securely stored in the data center.

6 NetApp Storage Concepts Review A NetApp storage system serves storage over the network using file-based protocols such as NFS and CIFS, and block-based protocols such as FCP and iscsi. Block-based protocols are provided to support applications that can't write data to CIFS or NFS shares but instead need local block storage. Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server are two examples of these applications. How is it possible to make remote storage look like an internal hard drive? The answer is using block-based protocols like Fibre Channel and iscsi. When the storage is served using block-based protocols NetApp presents it as logical unit numbers (LUNs). File systems and databases, like for local hard drives, can make normal SCSI commands against LUNs. The SCSI commands get encapsulated in iscsi and are sent across the network to the NetApp storage system. In NetApp, LUNs are built within a volume, which in turn is built within an aggregate, which consists of one or more RAID groups, a shown in Figure 2na. Figure 2: NetApp storage layers 2012 Riverbed Technology. All rights reserved. 5
7 Deployment Prerequisites A NetApp storage system with a valid iscsi license. A NetApp storage system with a valid FlexClone license, if the user intends on taking application consistent snapshots on the NetApp storage system via Granite appliances. (This prerequisite is required only if Granite Core is running software version or later). An available LUN built on a FlexVol volume on the NetApp storage system. Administrator access to the NetApp storage system and Granite appliances to make changes such as enabling iscsi, adding initiator groups, etc. Granite Core and Granite Edge appliances installed and powered up. Overview The steps that will be followed to add Granite appliances to an existing NetApp storage system are: 1. Verify if iscsi is enabled on the NetApp storage system a. Enable iscsi on the NetApp storage system 2. Verify if the NetApp storage system is configured for jumbo frames a. Enable jumbo frames on Granite Core 3. Configure an initiator group for Granite Core appliance on the NetApp storage system 4. Map the Granite Core initiator group to the NetApp iscsi LUN 5. Import the NetApp iscsi LUN to Granite Core and export it to the Granite Edge 6. Configure an initiator group for branch servers on the Granite Core 2012 Riverbed Technology. All rights reserved. 6
8 Deployment Steps Verify if iscsi is enabled on the NetApp storage system Verify if iscsi is enabled in the LUNs > Enable/Disable page of the NetApp storage web user interface. Choose LUNs > Enable/Disable to display the Enable/Disable page, as shown in Figure. Figure 3: iscsi Enable/Disable page Enable iscsi on the NetApp storage system If iscsi is not enabled, enable it by clicking on the Enable checkbox, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4: How to enable iscsi The iscsi service can only be enabled if a valid iscsi license installed on the storage system. If the enable step fails, verify that the license was applied through Manage Licenses in the left menu of the NetApp storage system web user interface. Choose Storage System > Manage Licenses to display the Licenses page, as shown in Figure. Figure 5: Licenses page 2012 Riverbed Technology. All rights reserved. 7
9 Verify that iscsi service is running in the LUNs > iscsi > Report page of the NetApp storage system web user interface. Choose LUNs > iscsi > Report to display the Report page, as shown in Figure. Note: Pay attention to the target nodename, and the TCP port used to carry iscsi traffic. Figure 6: Report page 2012 Riverbed Technology. All rights reserved. 8
10 Verify if the NetApp storage system is configured for jumbo frames A best practice for iscsi is to use jumbo frames. This provides the best performance for larger transfer sizes. Note: All devices, including switches, between Granite Core appliance and the NetApp storage system must be configured to the same jumbo frame size. To verify if NetApp has been configured for jumbo frames select Manage Interfaces under Network from the left menu of NetApp web user interface select Modify to view or change the parameters of the interface as shown in Figure. Figure 7: Networking page Interface e0a shows that jumbo frames are enabled, as the value set is greater than the default of 1500 bytes, as shown in Figure. Figure 8: Jumbo frames page Note: 9000 bytes is the recommended value for iscsi traffic Riverbed Technology. All rights reserved. 9
11 Enable jumbo frames on Granite Core appliance To enable jumbo frames on Granite Core select Configure > Networking > Manage Interfaces and enter the NetApp maximum transmission unit (MTU) size value (In this example: 9000) in the MTU field of the interface that is connected to the NetApp storage system as shown in Figure. Figure 9: Granite jumbo frames page 2012 Riverbed Technology. All rights reserved. 10
12 Configure an initiator group for the Granite Core appliance on the NetApp storage system In a NetApp storage system for a LUN to be activated and made accessible to servers, it must be associated to an initiator group. Initiator groups are a way for storage administrators to group LUNs according to the parameters of the environments or servers they serve. When deploying the Granite solution with NetApp, the servers at the branch office will not access the LUN directly but instead will access it via Granite hence the Granite Core IQN node name (not the IQNs of the individual servers that will access the LUN at the branch office) must be entered in the Initiator Group properties. Note: At the iscsi level, Granite Core is an iscsi initiator and the NetApp storage system is an iscsi target. To create an initiator group, from the left menu in the NetApp storage web user interface select LUNs > Initiator Groups > Add to open the Add Initiator Group window as shown in Figure. Figure 10: Initiator Group page Name the initiator group, choose iscsi in the type field, choose the OS type of the operating system that eventually is going to use the LUN, and insert the Granite Core IQN node name. Click on the Add button to complete, as shown in Figure. Figure 11: Initiator Group page with values 2012 Riverbed Technology. All rights reserved. 11
13 Verify the Granite Core IQN node name in the Configure > Storage > iscsi Configuration page of the Granite Core appliance web user interface a shown in Figure.
