Applications

You can use predefined application templates in Storage Manager to create new configurations that are based on existing application templates. You can then provision instances of the application in ONTAP.

You configure applications by clicking Applications &Tiers > Applications .

The following applications can be configured in Storage Manager :

General Applications

  • NAS Container (Volume is exported to NFS or CIFS clients)

  • General SAN Application (Set of LUNs exported to the application server)

Databases

  • MongoDB (over SAN)

  • Oracle (over NFS or SAN)

  • Oracle (Real Application Cluster over NFS or SAN)

  • Microsoft SQL Server (over SAN)

Virtual Infrastructure

  • Virtual Servers (with VMware, Hyper-V or XEN)

  1. Provisioning a basic template
    You can use Storage Manager to quickly provision basic templates for SQL, VMware and SAP HANA on AFA, SAN, and NAS optimized clusters.
  2. Adding applications to Storage Manager
    You can use the Enhanced tab to add general applications, databases, and virtual servers to Storage Manager .
  3. Application provisioning settings
    When setting up a basic or enhanced template for a database, server, or virtual desktop, you must provide details to Storage Manager. After an application is provisioned, you can edit the details and specify a resizing (increased size only). This section describes the fields in each template. Only the fields that are required for provisioning or editing the settings of the specific application are displayed.
