FlexPod Design Details
Figure 3
FlexPod Distinct Uplink Design with Data ONTAP in 7-Mode
*The FAS22xx fully supports IP-based storage, but does not support FCoE.
Figure 4
shows the topology differences between FlexPod model with the clustered Data ONTAP or Data
ONTAP operating in 7-Mode. As shown in
Figure
4, the Cisco UCS and Cisco Nexus components do
not require any modifications. These layers of the stack are essentially unaware of the storage
controllers' mode of operation. The differences occur within the NetApp domain of FlexPod
configuration. Clustered Data ONTAP requires cluster interconnect switches to connect the storage
controllers (nodes) composing the cluster.
Note
Data ONTAP 8.1.2 supports up to six nodes (three HA pairs) in a SAN cluster.
