Controller Rear View Shapes

General Information:

• Same NetApp models as Front View Shapes
• Located within a Grouping Box
  • Aligns with grid at 400% zoom
  • Aligns with rack and grid at 200% zoom for easier placement
• Grouping box fill has 50% transparency in order to show grid
• All ports are connection points where cables “snap&glue”
• Controller Type (FAS/AFF), Node names and Node numbers are modifiable in Shape Data
  • Click chassis shape in order to display Shape Data
  • This data is not in controller shapes, as it is easier to click chassis rather than controllers inside a chassis

Stencil:

• DontPokeThePolarBear-NetApp-Controllers-Stencil-<DD-MM-YYYY>

Original Source of Shapes:

• NetApp

FAS25xx and FAS26xx models:

• Additional fields to original NetApp shape:
  • controller type
  • model
  • node number
  • node name
• These controllers can have internal disks
  • Additional Data associated with shape:
    • Shelf ID
    • Number of Disks (HDD)
    • Disk Size (HDD)
    • Number of Disks (SSD)
    • Disk Size (SSD)
    • Disk ownership model
      • Only one SAS stack, so disk ownership is either
        • disk-based (Mix-Disk)
        • shelf-based (Mix-Shelf)
• Changes in Shape data for these properties will be displayed in Grouping Box
• Ports with 25xx series run at weird order
• 0b,0a,e0c|0c,e0d|0d,e0e|0e,e0f|0f,e0a,e0b
• 0b = Square port, 0a = Circle Port

Examples:

FAS80x0,  FAS8200 & AFF A300 series:

Additional fields to original NetApp shape:

• controller type
• model
• node number
• node name
• Site Name (for Metroclusters)

Notes on 8000 series controllers:

• 8020 model has one 4-port SAS-adapter in slot 1
• 8040&8060 models have two 4-port SAS-adapters in slots 3&4
• 8080EX model have three 4-port SAS-adapters in slots 3&5&9
• Dual controller chassis shapes
  • In non-metrocluster setups controllers are typically deployed in HA-pairs
• Single controller chassis shapes
  • 2-Node Metroclusters
• Ports&Slots are labeled, but with very small font, use 1600% zoom to view
  • In Visio you can zoom to 1600% and above, Powerpoint seems to zoom max 400%
• Remember that ports on FAS8000 motherboard run from left to right (0a,0b,0c,0d and so on)
  • Also FAS8040/FAS8060/FAS8080 slots 1&2 / FAS8080EX slots 5-8
• Ports on the right side slots run from right to left (3d,3c,3b,3a)
  • FAS8020/ FAS8200 slots 1&2
  • FAS8040 slots 3&4
  • FAS8080EX slots 3&4, 9-12
• Some adapter cards already in place, change as needed
  • Additional adapter card shapes can be found from original NetApp stencils, download from http://www.visiocafe.com

Examples:

FAS9000 & AFF A700 Series:

Similar properties as FAS8000 series as there are no internal disks

Additional fields to original NetApp shape:

• controller type
  • Both are using the same shape, change between FAS9000 and AFF A700 by using “shape data” window
• model
• node number
• node name
• Site Name (for Metroclusters)

Notes on FAS9000 series controllers:

• Uses different adapter cards than FAS8000 series, use NetApp original stencils for adapter cards
• New Platform, so no first hand experience with these
