MODULE OBJECTIVES

8-2 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Logical Networking

© 2013 NetApp, Inc. This material is intended only for training. Reproduction is not authorized.
LIF Characteristics
 An IP address or World Wide Port Name (WWPN) is
associated with a LIF.
 One node-management LIF exists per node. It can fail over
to other data or node-management ports on the same
node.
 One cluster-management LIF exists per cluster. It can fail
over or migrate throughout the cluster.
 Two cluster LIFs exist per node. They can fail over or
migrate only within their node.
 Multiple data LIFs are allowed per data port.
– The are client-facing (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel
access).
– NAS data LIFs can migrate or fail over throughout the cluster.

NetApp Confidential 3

LIF CHARACTERISTICS
Each logical interface (LIF) has an associated role and must be assigned to the correct type of network port.
Data LIFs can have a many-to-one relationship with network ports: Many data IP addresses can be assigned
to a single network port. If the port becomes overburdened, NAS data LIFs can be transparently migrated to
different ports or different nodes. Clients know the data LIF IP address but do not know which node or port is
hosting the LIF. If a NAS data LIF is migrated, the client might unknowingly be contacting a different node.
The NFS mountpoint or CIFS share is unchanged.
A node can have a maximum of 128 LIFs, regardless of the type of LIF.

LIF names must be unique within their scope. For data LIFs, the scope is a data virtual storage server
(Vserver). The scope of a cluster LIF or management LIF is limited to its node. Thus, the same name (for
example, mgmt1) can be used for all the nodes.

NETWORK PORTS AND DATA LIFS


In the environment that is shown on this slide, each of the nodes contains two data network ports. Network
port node2 has three data LIFs that are assigned to one port and two on the other port. This slide shows the
many-to-one relationship between LIFs and network ports. The data LIF name is in parentheses after each
network address.
In a NAS environment, the name is not the actual host name that is associated with the IP address. The name
is an internal name that can be used as the host name for the IP address in the DNS. In a NAS environment,
all these IP addresses can share one host name, such that a DNS round robin is used and picks an IP address
every time that the host name is used; for example, for an NFS mount command.
This slide shows how an environment can randomly distribute client connections across a cluster while the
cluster looks to every user and every client as if there is only one storage host.

LIF Static Routes
 Are defined paths between LIFs and specific
destination IP addresses through gateways
 Can improve the efficiency of network traffic that
travels through complicated networks
 Have preferences that are associated with them:
When multiple routes are available, the “metric”
specifies the preference order of the route to use.
 Are defined within “routing groups”
 Are created or chosen automatically when a LIF
is created

NetApp Confidential 8

LIF STATIC ROUTES


You can control how LIFs in a Vserver use your network for outbound traffic by configuring routing groups
and static routes. A set of common routes are grouped in a routing group that simplifies the administration of
routes.
 A routing group is a routing table in which each LIF is associated with one routing group and uses only
the routes of that group. Multiple LIFs can share a routing group.
NOTE: If, for purposes of backward compatibility, you want one route per LIF, you can create a separate
routing group for each LIF.
 A static route is a defined route between a LIF and a specific destination IP address. The route can use a
gateway IP address.
Routing groups are created automatically as new LIFs are created, unless a routing group covers that port and
role or network combination.
The node-management LIFs on each node have static routes that are automatically set up for them through the
same default gateway.
If more than one static route is defined for a LIF, each static route has a “metric” value. The administrator
uses the metric values to configure routes so that one is preferred over another. The lower the metric value,
the more preferred the route is. The metric value for a node management LIF is 10. When routes are created
for data LIFs, if no metric is defined, the default value is 20.

NAS Data LIF Failover and Migration

 “LIF failover” means automatic failover that


occurs because of an outage or reboot.
 “LIF migrate” means manual migration: The
node is not rebooted during manual migration.
 “LIF revert” means manually or automatically
sending a LIF back to its home (node and
port).
 LIF failover is controlled by the failover group.

NetApp Confidential 12

NAS DATA LIF FAILOVER AND MIGRATION


Why migrate a NAS data LIF? It might be needed for troubleshooting a faulty port or to offload a node whose
data network ports are being saturated with other traffic. The LIF fails over if its current node is rebooted.
Unlike storage failover (SFO), LIF failover or migration does not cause a reboot of the node from which the
LIF is migrating. Also unlike SFO, LIFs can migrate to any node in the cluster, not just within the high-
availability (HA) pair. After a LIF is migrated, the LIF can remain on the new node for as long as the
administrator wants.

NAS Data LIF Failover and Migration
Limits
 Node-management LIFs cannot fail over or
migrate to a port on a different node.
 Cluster-management LIFs and NAS data LIFs
can fail over and migrate across ports and
nodes.
 Cluster LIFs can fail over and migrate only
across ports on the same node.
 Data LIFs are bound to a Vserver and do not
fail over or migrate between Vservers.
 SAN data LIFs never fail over or migrate.

NetApp Confidential 13

NAS DATA LIF FAILOVER AND MIGRATION LIMITS


Data LIFs aren’t permanently tied to their home ports. However, the port to which a LIF is migrating is tied to
a node. This example shows the line between the physical and the logical. Also, a port has a node Vserver
scope; a data LIF has a data Vserver scope.

LIF FAILOVER GROUPS


“LIF failover” means the automatic migration of a NAS data LIF in response to a link failure on the LIF’s
current network port. When such a port failure is detected, the LIF is migrated to a working port. A failover
group contains a set of network ports (physical, VLANs, and interface groups) on one or more nodes. A LIF
can subscribe to a failover group. The network ports that are present in the failover group define the failover
targets for the LIF. You can manage failover groups by adding ports to them, removing ports from them,
renaming them, and displaying information about them.

Types of Failover Groups

 System-defined
 User-defined
 Cluster-wide

NetApp Confidential 15

TYPES OF FAILOVER GROUPS


Failover groups for LIFs can be system-defined or user-defined. Additionally, one failover group that is called
“cluster-wide” is maintained automatically.
Failover groups are of the following types:
 System-defined failover groups: These failover groups automatically manage LIF failover targets on a
per-LIF basis and contain data ports from a maximum of two nodes. The data ports include all the data
ports on the home node and all the data ports on another node in the cluster for redundancy.
 User-defined failover groups: These customized failover groups can be created when the system-defined
failover groups do not meet your requirements. For example, you can create a failover group that consists
of 10-GbE ports and enables LIFs to fail over only to the high-bandwidth ports.
 The cluster-wide failover group: This failover group consists of all the data ports in the cluster and
defines the default failover group for the cluster management LIF.

nextavail (default): Enables a LIF to fail over to the next available port, preferring a port on the current node.
In some instances, a LIF configured with the nextavail failover policy selects a failover port on a remote node,
even though a failover port is available on the local node. No outages will be seen in the cluster, because the
LIFs continue to be hosted on valid failover ports.
priority: Given the list of failover targets, if the home port goes down then select the next port from the list in
order, always starting with the first port in the list.
disabled: Disables (prevents) a LIF from failing over.

ENABLING AND DISABLING FAILOVER OF A LIF


The values of the following parameters of the network interface modify command together
determine the failover behavior of LIFs:
 -failover-policy: Enables you to specify the order in which the network ports are chosen during a
LIF failover or enables you to prevent a LIF from failing over. This parameter can have one of the
following values:
– nextavail (default): Enables a LIF to fail over to the next available port, preferring a port on the
current node. In some instances, a LIF configured with the nextavail failover policy selects a
failover port on a remote node, even though a failover port is available on the local node. No outages
will be seen in the cluster as the LIFs continue to be hosted on valid failover ports.
– priority: Enables a LIF to fail over to the first available port specified in the user-defined failover
group (failover targets can be shown with the network interface show -failover
command).
– disabled: Disables a LIF from failing over.
 -failover-group: Specifies the failover behavior configured for the LIF. The value can be set to:
– system-defined: specifies that the LIF uses the implicit system-defined failover behavior for the
LIF's role
– [empty]: specifies that the LIF is not configured to use a failover group
– [user-defined failover group]: specifies that the LIF is configured to fail over to any
available port present in the failover group

NAS LOAD BALANCING


With DNS load balancing enabled, a storage administrator can choose to enable the built-in load balancer to
balance the client LIF network access on the basis of the load of the cluster. Supported NAS protocols include
NFSv3, NFSv4, NFSv4.1, CIFS, and SMB 2.0.
In automatic LIF rebalancing, LIFs are automatically migrated to a less-utilized port, based on the configured
failover rules. Automatic LIF rebalancing allows even distribution of the current load. NFSv3 is the only
supported protocol.

8-22 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Logical Networking

© 2013 NetApp, Inc. This material is intended only for training. Reproduction is not authorized.
DNS Load-Balancing Characteristics
 Uses internal “DNS zones” that contain multiple data
IP addresses (data LIFs):
– The actual data LIF that is used for an NFS mount is
chosen at NFS mount time.
– NAS data LIFs can be automatically migrated among
nodes to maintain a balanced load.
 Is based on LIF weights:
Weight can be manually or automatically set (based on the
current load in the cluster).
 Provides balanced cluster-wide data LIFs

NetApp Confidential 23

DNS LOAD-BALANCING CHARACTERISTICS


The DNS server resolves names to LIFs based on the weight of a LIF. A Vserver can be associated with a
DNS load-balancing zone, and LIFs can be created or modified to be associated with a specific DNS zone. A
fully-qualified domain name can be added to a LIF to create a DNS load-balancing zone by specifying a
dns-zone parameter in the network interface create command.
Two methods can be used to specify the weight of a LIF: The storage administrator can specify a LIF weight,
or the LIF weight can be generated based on the load of the cluster. Ultimately, this feature helps to balance
the overall use of the cluster. This feature does not increase the performance of any one individual node;
rather, this feature guarantees that each node is used more evenly. The result is better performance use from
the entire cluster.
DNS load balancing also improves the simplicity of maintaining the cluster. Instead of manually determining
which LIFs are used when mounting a specific global namespace, the administrator can let the system
dynamically decide which LIF is the most appropriate. And after a LIF is chosen, that LIF can be migrated to
a different node automatically to guarantee that the network load remains balanced throughout the cluster.

AUTOMATIC LIF REBALANCING


In automatic LIF rebalancing, LIFs are migrated based on the weights assigned to the LIFs.
When new NICs are added to the cluster, these network ports are automatically included when load is
calculated dynamically the next time. You must ensure that the new network ports are a part of the failover
group to which the LIFs belong.
Automatic LIF rebalancing is available only under advanced privilege level of operation.
