Introduction to NetApp EF-Series EF570
Feature Overview with SANtricity 11.50.2
Daniel Landes, NetApp
June 2019 | TR-4726
Abstract
®
The NetApp
EF570 all-flash array delivers optimal performance without compromising on
reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features that deliver up to 99.9999%
availability. The 100Gb host interface now supports NVMe/RoCE (NVMe over RDMA over
Converged Ethernet) and NVMe over InfiniBand (NVMe/IB) and the 32Gb FC host interface
now supports NVMe/FC. The EF-Series 12Gb wide port backend can deliver 100µsec
response times at low queue depths and <1msec response times up to 1,000,000 IOPs. The
embedded browser-based SANtricity System Manager provides enhanced security for array
management and the new SANtricity Unified Manager simplifies managing multiple EF570
systems. This report provides detailed information about the hardware and software features
of the EF570 all-flash array including what's new with SANtricity 11.50.2.

    Mirroring. 2.4 SANtricity System Manager As discussed previously, the NetApp EF570 controller and SANtricity 11.50.x use the on-box browser- based management interface. However, the legacy SANtricity Storage Manager EMW can still be used with the EF570-based storage arrays. As a result, the installation flow is similar to legacy E-Series arrays.

    To prevent the loss of data availability to existing drive shelves when new drive shelves are added, the storage system must be cabled according to the cabling best practices that NetApp recommends. Two independent SAS channel paths must be available to the drive shelves so that one path can be interrupted when a drive shelf is added to the storage system while the other path maintains data availability to existing shelves.
