Developer Sessions  What is it about? –Integration –Automation –Customization  For Whom? –Consultants, integration engineers, architects  How? –Use the glue: Leverage NetApp APIs to do better integrations at customers –Use case centric approach  When? –Tuesday 15:00-16:00 CET –https://communities.netapp.com/community/interfaces_and_tools/ developer/developer-sessions 2 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only Improving IT and operation at customer Super Glue NMSDK Ingredients: Data OnTAP PowerShell Toolkit Apps HyperVisor Storage

3. Schedule May/June Date (cal. entry)Topic Abstract and TakeawayProgramming Language 15.05.2012 NetApp Powershell Toolkit Intro This session is an introduction to the NetApp Powershell Toolkit. It show the feature richness and the simplicity of use. You learn how to install the toolkit, connect to controllers and get an overview on its features. Powershell 22.05.2012 NetApp Manageability SDK Introduction This session is an introduction to the NetApp Manageability SDK in its latest release. You learn the coverage to the SDK and get an overview on its features. You learn how to install it and start rapid prototyping with automatic code generation. Various 29.05.2012 Use Case: Automated Snapshot Archiving using APIs This session is about automated snapshot archiving leveraging NetApp APIs. You learn how to organize snapshot archives from different sources. Perl 3 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only Date (cal. entry)Topic Abstract and Takeaway Programming Language 05.06.2012 Introduction into Automating Cisco UCS This session is an introduction to the Cisco UCSPS library to automate Cisco UCS components in a FlexPod. You learn how to install, connect and use basic commandlets. Powershell 12.06.2012 Use Case: Performance Advisor Data Extraction This session is about extracting performance data of the storage infrastructure and making it available in structured SQL database for further processing. You learn how to parse performance data and extract relevant counters. Perl 19.06.2012 Use Case: Creating VLANs on Cisco UCS Within this session the Cisco UCSPS library is used to create VLANs according to the specification of the FlexPod reference architecture. You learn how to query for existing VLANs, define new VLANs and register them in a VLAN template. Powershell 26.06.20126.06.2012 Use Case: DB Backup Workflow with DB Verification This session is about a backup workflow for a database which includes a verification phase before treating the backup as valid. You learn the basic structure of a backup workflow and how to embed any postprocessing steps. Perl

8. Create a VLAN in UCSM 8 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only VLANs

9. VLANs in FlexPod Stack  Implementing different trust domains: –Storage: vfiler –Network: VLANs  Multiple VLANs defined for infrastructure (see implementation guide)  VLANs for customer, each customer gets e.g.: –Frontend VLAN: Access to the hosted services –Storage VLAN: Access to storage –Management VLAN 9 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only

10. VLANs in the entire Stack 10 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only S S NN U U Po10 Po11 Po12 Po13Po14 INPUT: vlan.id/.descr PRE: Po10-Po14 exist, vlan.id does not exist on all Po10-Po14 POST: vlan.id enabled from storage (S) to Ucs (U). INFO: storage vlan needs to be enabled everywhere. E.g. frontentaccess would only go on Po10,13,14 For left and right Nexus Switch: config t vlan descr forall in {Po10, …, Po14} int switchport trunk allowed vlan add exit

11. Infrastructure VLANs  MGMT-VLAN  NFS-VLAN  vMotion-VLAN  Pkt-Ctrl-VLAN  VM-Traffic-VLAN  Native-VLAN 11 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only ##line 207 UCSpart1.ps1 $NAMES_TO_VLANS = @{ "MGMT-VLAN" = $config.Get_Item(" >"); "NFS-VLAN" = $config.Get_Item(" >"); "vMotion-VLAN" = $config.Get_Item(" >"); "Pkt-Ctrl-VLAN" = $config.Get_Item(" >"); "VM-Traffic-VLAN" = $config.Get_Item(" >"); "Native-VLAN" = $config.Get_Item(" >");}

12. Creating them in bulk manner  Iterate through associative array  VLANs are not hierarchically organized in UCS 12 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only ## input: $NAMES_TO_VLANS ## line 435 3_4_UCS.ps1 $fabricEthLan = New-Object Cisco.Ucs.FabricEthLan $fabricEthLan.Dn = "fabric/lan" foreach($item in $NAMES_TO_VLANS.GetEnumerator()) { $vLanName = $item.Name Write-Host "create vlan: $vLanName" $result = Get-UcsVlan -FabricLanCloud $fabricEthLan -Name $vLanName -Ucs $ucsHandle if(!$result) { if($vlanName -eq "Native-VLAN") { $native = "true" } else { $native = "false" } Add-UcsVlan -FabricLanCloud $fabricEthLan -Name $vLanName \\ -Id $item.Value -DefaultNet $native -Ucs $ucsHandle } else { Write-host "vlan $vLanName already exists, skipping" }

14. VNIC Templates  Hierarchical element  VNIC templates bundle network settings for reusability  In FlexPod infrastructure for each fabric a VNIC template is created 14 NetApp Confidential - Internal Use Only VNIC Template Set of VLANsNetwork Control PolicyOrganization
