As more data is stored on NAS, efficient network designs are under evaluation to minimize latency, to maximize use of interswitch links between switches, and to automate network configuration changes. For these reasons, Brocade VCS Fabric technology with Brocade VDX switches is increasingly being deployed when new NAS arrays are added to the storage pool. Purpose of This Document The goal of this document is to validate Brocade VCS Fabric technology with the NetApp 3170 NAS storage array. The testing includes cases that demonstrate VCS Fabric feature support, high availability and resiliency, and automatic network reconfiguration when links are added or removed. This document provides validation test results for typical use cases of NAS with Brocade VCS Fabric technology and NetApp 3170 NAS storage arrays. Audience This document is written for a technical audience, including solution architects, system engineers, and technical development representatives. 4 Brocade VCS Fabric Technology with the NetApp 3170 NAS Storage Array Validation Test Report

28 NOS Test Report NOS Test Report Test Plan...28 Test Cases...34 Test Conclusions...46 Test Plan The storage array is connected to one VDX Ethernet fabric with multiple Windows and Red Hat server hosts to drive I/O. Scope Testing will be performed with Brocade's Network Operating System (NOS) in a heterogeneous environment. Test beds will include Brocade switches configured in routed and non-routed fabric configurations. Testing is centered on interoperability and optimal configuration. Performance is observed within the context of best practice fabric configuration; however absolute maximum benchmark reporting of storage performance is beyond the scope of this test. 28 Brocade VCS Fabric Technology with the NetApp 3170 NAS Storage Array Validation Test Report
29 Test Configuration Test Configuration FIGURE 21 Test Topology The following diagram shows Brocade VCS Fabric switch port connections and vlag (port-channel) ports for each server and the NetApp 3170 array. For example, 1/0/1 means the device port connects to RBridge# = 1, Card# = 0, and Port# = 1. For fixed top-of-rack switches such as the Brocade VDX 6720, 6730, and 6740, there are no port cards, which is indicated by 0 for the Card#.

47 NOS Test Report Test Plan Test Cases Test Conclusions...93 Test Plan The storage array is connected to one VDX Ethernet fabric with multiple Windows and Red Hat server hosts to drive I/O. Scope Testing will be performed with Brocade's Network Operating System (NOS) in a heterogeneous environment. Test beds will include Brocade switches configured in routed and non-routed fabric configurations. Testing is centered on interoperability and optimal configuration. Performance is observed within the context of best practice fabric configuration; however absolute maximum benchmark reporting of storage performance is beyond the scope of this test.

48 Test Configuration Test Configuration FIGURE 23 Test Topology The following diagram shows Brocade VCS Fabric switch port connections and vlag (port-channel) ports for each server and the NetApp 3170 array. For example, 1/0/1 means the device port connects to RBridge# = 1, Card# = 0, and Port# = 1. For fixed top-of-rack switches such as the Brocade VDX 6720, 6730, and 6740, there are no port cards, which is indicated by 0 for the Card#. 48 Brocade VCS Fabric Technology with the NetApp 3170 NAS Storage Array Validation Test Report

Mix of chassis disable, reboot, and power cycles. For switches containing device under test, I/O will pause and then resume after switch comes online. Results Chassis Disable/Enable: PASS. I/O successfully resumes after chassis enable. Reboot: PASS. I/O successfully resumes after chassis reboot. Power Cycle: PASS. I/O successfully resumes after chassis power cycle Storage Device Recovery - Switch Firmware download ISSU on VDX8770 Test Objective Sequentially perform firmware maintenance procedure on all VDX 8770 devices connected switches under test. Verify host I/O will continue (with minimal disruption) through firmware download. Test Configuration Execute firmwaredownload from NOS4.1.2 to NOS4.1.2aa. Results PASS. All I/O completes error-free through firmware download command. Brocade VCS Fabric Technology with the NetApp 3170 NAS Storage Array Validation Test Report 91

FIGURE 59 File Server Simulation Medusa Result - Screen 1 FIGURE 60 File Server Simulation Medusa Result - Screen 2 Test Conclusions 1. Brocade VCS Fabric technology and the NetApp 3170 NAS array smoothly interoperate with both redundant and nonredundant configurations. No exceptions were noted. 2. The configuration procedures followed Brocade VCS Fabric and NetApp 3170 standard documentation guides and found no issues with these procedures. 3. All simulated changes in network and storage (add, remove, fail over) resulted in expected behavior and I/O recovery.
