Page 20: Overview
Expansion Nodes The Verde enterprise expansion node accommodates up to 44 disk drives with an active bezel, and 45 disk drives with a passive bezel, and can be connected to a master node to increase overall capacity of the array. The Verde archive expansion node holds up to 96 disk drives. HotPair Two Verde master nodes can be connected to multiple expansion nodes in a failover configuration. One master node acts as the primary controller, and the other acts as the secondary. In the event that the secondary controller detects a failure of the primary controller, it automatically takes over to provide uninterrupted operation, without administrative intervention. File Sharing Connectivity for Major Operating Systems The Network File System (NFS) and Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols provide connectivity to most major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux. Solid state disk drives may be installed in your array to improve NFS performance. 10GBase-T Ethernet Connectivity Two onboard 10 gigabit copper ports (10GBase‐T) provide Ethernet connectivity for the arrays with one dedicated port used to access the Verde user interface. In a 2U master node without an optional 10 GigE card, the second 10GBase‐T port is used for data transfer. September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...
Page 21 Replicated System Configuration The Verde master node mirrors its boot drives on to an existing storage pool on the array’s data disks. If one or both boot drives fail, the system recovers automatically when replacement boot drives are installed. Verde User Interface The Verde user interface is used to perform configuration and management tasks on the Verde arrays. It also lets you monitor the Verde array hardware and view system messages. Write Performance Drives The Verde array supports even numbers of solid state drives as Write Performance drives. The drives increase write speed to shared NFS volumes on the array. 10 Gigabit Ethernet A dual port, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) network interface card, optional in a 2U master node and standard in a 4U master node, provides high‐speed data connections between hosts and the Verde array. 40 Gigabit Ethernet An optional dual port, 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40 GigE) network interface card can be installed to provide high‐speed data connections between hosts and the Verde array. An array can contain both a 10 GigE card and a 40 GigE network card, but cannot use both cards simultaneously. September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...

Page 50: Overview Of Nas Storage Pools , V Olumes , And Shares
Storage Pools A storage pool groups a set of physical drives together to create a virtual drive that the operating system treats as a single physical drive. Depending on how it is configured, a storage pool can provide mirrored, single‐parity, double‐parity, or triple‐parity data protection. Higher levels of protection allow for more individual drives to fail before the data is compromised. The costs of higher protection are reduced storage availability and reduced performance. Volumes and Shares Volumes are located on each storage pool. Volumes can be configured with a minimum size and thin provisioned with a maximum size. When you create a volume, you can specify whether it uses compression, and whether the time stamp for files is updated when the file is read (access time). After the volume is created, it can be shared (made available for use by other computers on the network) via either the NFS service or the CIFS service. REATE A TORAGE When creating a new storage pool, keep the following in mind:  Each storage pool requires a minimum of one drive. Spectra Logic recommends using eight drives or more in a storage pool to reduce the impact of the overhead. Overhead is the space on the storage pool used to store parity data, and not used for data storage.  Drives can only be associated with one storage pool. To create a new storage pool using drives that are already configured in an existing storage pool, you must first delete the existing storage pool as described in Delete a Storage Pool on page 99. You can then create a new storage pool using newly available drives. September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...
Page 51: Create A Storage Pool
Chapter 3 — Configuring Network Attached Storage Create a Storage Pool  Any drives not configured in storage pools act as global spare drives. If a drive failure occurs on a Verde array, the array immediately activates a global spare. If the global spare is in the same chassis as the storage pool that claimed it, then when the failed drive is replaced it becomes the new global spare. If the global spare is in a different chassis than the storage pool that claimed it, then when the failed drive is replaced it is rebuilt into the storage pool and the spare drive becomes a global spare again.  Spectra Logic recommends leaving at least one drive for a global spare. Use the following steps to create a new storage pool. 1. From the menu bar, select Configuration > NAS > Pools, or click the Pools pane on the Dashboard. The NAS Pools screen displays.

Page 53 Mirror—Data is striped across two mirrors. Any detected data corruption is corrected using checksums. This type of RAID offers the best performance for small random reads and writes. Single parity—Data is striped across multiple single‐parity arrays, which can tolerate one drive failure without data loss. This type of RAID has faster performance than double‐ and triple‐parity based RAIDs. Double parity—Data is striped across multiple double‐parity arrays, which can tolerate two drive failures without data loss. In most cases, double‐parity provides the best balance between data protection, performance, and storage capacity. Triple parity—Data is striped across multiple triple‐parity arrays, which can tolerate three drive failures without data loss. This type of RAID provides the most data protection. Select Use the slider to maximize either pool capacity or performance, or to mix the two options. Greater capacity means more storage space but slower Optimization Level performance. Higher performance means the pool is faster at reading or writing data with less overall capacity. The Storage Pool Preview pane of the New Pool screen changes as you Note: move the slider between Capacity and Performance to show the impact your changes have on the storage pool. Select Write Use the drop‐down menu to select the number of drives to use in a ZFS Intent Performance Log (ZIL) for this pool. This can increase the write performance of the pool when shared using NFS. This feature is only intended for storage pools with NFS shares and typically has little impact on CIFS share performance.

As a result, any spaces in the Note: volume name are replaced by underscores in the corresponding NFS share name. The Verde user interface displays the volume name without the underscores. For example, for a volume named Share One, the corresponding NFS share is named Share_One to external network computers, but it is named Share One in the Verde user interface. Select the storage pool on which to create the volume. If there are multiple Pool storage pools configured on the Verde array, use the drop‐down menu to select the Pool where you want to create the volume. Select the desired unit size from the drop‐down menu and enter a numerical Minimum Size value for the minimum size in the text box to the left of the unit size drop‐down menu. This space is allocated immediately if there is sufficient space available on the storage pool. If there is insufficient space available, volume creation fails.

Page 75: Volume Snapshots
Volume Snapshots are images of a volume’s configuration and data makeup as they were when the snapshot was generated. Restoring to a previously created snapshot allows you to go “back in time” and restore the volume to the state it was in when the snapshot was created. Snapshots can be useful in restoring a file that was accidentally deleted. Snapshots can be created manually or on a schedule. Volume snapshots are retained on the array until they are manually deleted, or the set Maximum Number of Snapshots limit is reached. When the limit is reached, the oldest snapshot is deleted freeing up capacity held by that snapshot. Snapshots are created instantly without any impact to system performance. Snapshots initially occupy very little space on the storage pool, but grow as data is deleted, because this data must be retained by the snapshot. For example, if you write 100 GB to the volume, and then make a snapshot of that data, the snapshot is only a few kilobytes in size, as it simply points to the existing data on the array. However, if that 100 GB is deleted, the snapshot grows to 100 GB, because it must retain the data. When the snapshot containing the 100 GB of data is deleted, either manually or based on schedule retention, then 100 GB of capacity is made available for new data. Create a Snapshot Use the following steps to create a snapshot. 1. From the menu bar, select Configuration > NAS > Volumes, or click the Volumes pane on the Dashboard.

OMPRESSION The Verde array can be configured to compress data as it is written to the array. If the data being written is compressible there is an increase in write performance to the array, which is dependent on how much compression occurs on the data being written to the array. The data compression process uses CPU cycles to perform the compression. If compression is enabled and non‐compressible data is written to the array, the compression process may use an excessive number of CPU cycles, slowing the overall performance of the array.

Configuration The first step is to configure the management and data ports using the Verde user interface (see Configure Network Connections and Settings on page 91), or the command line interface (see the Spectra Verde Array Command Line Interface Guide). Do not attempt to access the system directly using the root console and modify interfaces. The user interface and command line interface are tightly integrated with the base operating system and configure additional system features based on network changes. Connectivity to the Network The following configurations are supported for the data path: Recommended:  For the 10 GigE optical card:  Single 10 GigE logical connection using one of the 10 GigE physical ports —OR—  Single 20 GigE logical connection using two 10 GigE physical ports (link aggregation)  For the 40 GigE optical card:  Single 40 GigE logical connection using one of the 40 GigE physical ports —OR—  Single 80 GigE logical connection using two 40 GigE physical ports (link aggregation) September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...
Page 149 —OR—  Single 30 gigabit logical connection using three 10GBase‐T physical ports (the two ports on the card and the one spare onboard port) (link aggregation) Not Recommended:  Single gigabit logical connection utilizing one of the 10GBase‐T physical ports and a Category 5e Ethernet cable —OR—  Single 10 gigabit logical connection utilizing one of the 10GBase‐T physical ports and a Category 6 Ethernet cable Assign the appropriate IP address to the management and data ports either statically or using DHCP. If you are setting the MTU to something other than 1500, ensure that your switch configuration, as well as all the hosts on the network, support larger MTU settings. The Verde master node can support jumbo frames (MTU=9000), but all switches and hosts on the network must be configured to support jumbo frames if this is selected, or performance might be degraded. Link Aggregation Notes Switches use different methods of routing traffic from hosts to NAS servers. There are also many different network configurations to move data from hosts to NAS servers. For example, some Cisco switches route traffic based on the MAC address and the IP address. The Verde array presents only one MAC address and one IP address when the data ports are aggregated via DHCP. If static link aggregation is chosen, the Verde array presents only one MAC address, but can have up to 16 IP addresses aliased to the MAC address. It is up to the switch to rotate data transfers among the physical ports on the Verde array in order to achieve the highest throughput possible. September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...
Page 150 Up to 16 static IP addresses Link aggregation - two 10 GigE ports Verde array Figure 117 Connection example utilizing two IP addresses assigned to a single share. Additionally, if link aggregation is configured for the Verde master node, then switches must also be able to support link aggregation to aggregate or ʺtrunkʺ the data ports together to provide higher bandwidth into the Verde array. Switches must support link aggregation using LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), and the switches must hash the destination IP addresses. Manually configure LACP on the switch ports. LACP does not get enabled automatically. Once configured correctly and attached to the network, the status in the user interface indicates the speed of the connection and whether the port is active. The link lights on the network ports should be on and active at both the Verde master node and the network switch. September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...

 Verify that the switch ports are not administratively disabled. Consult the switch User Guide for more information. Port Link LED is Lit, But I Cannot Ping the Verde Array  Check the LACP settings on the switch. If you are using link aggregation on the Verde array, the switch MUST be configured to use LACP on those ports. If you are not using link aggregation, the switch must be configured NOT to use LACP on those ports.  Check the VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) settings on the switch. Ensure that the ports are assigned to the correct VLAN. Tools Ping The ping command is a simple tool, based on a request‐response mechanism, to verify connectivity to a remote network node. The ping command is based on ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol). The request is an ICMP Echo request packet and the reply is an ICMP Echo Reply. Like a regular IP packet, an ICMP packet is forwarded, based on the intermediate routersʹ routing table, until it reaches the destination. After it reaches the destination, the ICMP Echo Reply packet is generated and returned to the originating node. September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...
Page 152 Traceroute You can use the traceroute command, if it is available, or something similar to not only verify connectivity to a remote network node, but to track the responses from intermediate nodes as well. The traceroute command sends a UDP packet to a port that is likely to not be used on a remote node with a TTL of 1. After the packet reaches the intermediate router, the TTL is decremented, and the ICMP time‐exceeded message is sent back to the originating node, which increments the TTL to 2, and the process repeats. After the UDP packet reaches a destination host, an ICMP port‐ unreachable message is sent back to the sender. This action provides the sender with information about all intermediate routers on the way to the destination. For example, in the output of the command shown below, traceroute 192.168.2.10 displays a numbered list indicating how many hops, on the way from the switch to the Verde master node, are encountered when tracing the packet. ETECT OPOLOGY RRORS The Verde array automatically analyzes the connections between the array and the tape library.

Page 160 PPENDIX Network File Interface VERVIEW The Network File Interface (NFI) service allows you to automatically move data from your Verde array to one or more BlackPearl systems, without the need to use a Spectra S3 client. Data is transferred on a schedule and data copied from the Verde array to the system can be configured to be kept on the array or deleted. When a user needs access to data deleted from the Verde array, they can use the Spectra Deep Storage Browser (DSB) or an API client to retrieve the files from the BlackPearl system. Note: Beginning with Verde 3.1.4, objects sent to a BlackPearl system using the NFI service include ACL (Access Control List) metadata, such as file permissions, ownership, and groups. When the objects are retrieved, the API client needs to reconstruct the ACL metadata. EQUIREMENTS The Network File Interface service has the following requirements:  The Verde array must be running software version Verde 2.1, or later. See Check the Current Software Version on page 137 for more information.  The BlackPearl system must be running software version BlackPearl 1.1, or later. See the Spectra BlackPearl User Guide for instructions on determining the current software version.  Files being stored as objects to a BlackPearl system must follow the Amazon S3 naming restrictions. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ AmazonS3/latest/dev/UsingMetadata.html for more information.
Page 161 EARL NVIRONMENT The BlackPearl system stores data on LTO‐5 or later generation tape media using the LTFS format. If you do not plan to eject tapes, or you plan to eject tapes and then move them to a different BlackPearl system, you do not need to follow any restrictions when configuring your system. However, if you plan to eject tapes and read them in a non‐BlackPearl system, you must adhere to the following requirements:  You cannot use the Amazon S3 MultiPartUpload command to write data to the BlackPearl system. This command breaks files into smaller chunks, which cannot be restored by a non‐BlackPearl system.  Blobbing Enabled should be cleared when configuring a data policy. Blobbing allows an object larger than 1 TB to be broken into multiple blobs and then stored on multiple tapes. Tapes created with blobbing disabled are always readable by a non‐BlackPearl system; tapes created with blobbing enabled may not be readable by a non‐BlackPearl system. With blobbing disabled, all files must have a size of 1 TB or less.  The LTFS file name option must be set to Object Name when configuring a storage domain. This setting configures LTFS file names to use the format {bucket name}/{object name}, for example bucket1/ video1.mov. If the tapes are ejected from the BlackPearl system and loaded into a non‐BlackPearl system, the file names match the object names. If you do not configure this option, object names are assigned a UUID string, which is not human readable.  The Keep Latest setting cannot be used for a data policy which uses a storage domain configured with the LTFS File Name option set to Object Name. September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...
Page 162  If you plan to eject tapes and read them in a non‐BlackPearl system, Spectra Logic recommends that you set the Write Optimization setting to Capacity when configuring a storage domain.  If you plan to eject tapes and read them in a non‐BlackPearl system, Spectra Logic recommends that you enable Bucket Isolation when configuring a data policy. This setting configures the bucket to have its own unique set of tapes. This ensures that tape media containing one bucket of information is not mixed with another bucket, making it easier to restore data in a non‐BlackPearl system. ONFIGURE A LACK EARL YSTEM FOR ERSIONING If you plan to modify files on the Verde share that is configured for NFI replication, you must configure the BlackPearl system with a storage domain and data policy that allow versioning as described in this section. If you do not plan to modify files on the Verde share, skip to Configure Network File Interface on page 165. Once you create the required storage domain and data policy, you can then either:  Create a bucket using the required data policy and specify that bucket when configuring the NFI service.  Create a user and specify the required data policy as the default data policy. Then when the NFI service creates a bucket specifying that user as the owner, the bucket is created using the required data policy. September 2017 User Guide—Spectra Verde Array...
