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.

Note
If someone adds new applications using the CLI or REST API while you are viewing the list of applications, then you will not be able to view those new applications when you scroll the list.

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 or SMB )

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 SAP HANA.
  2. Storage service definitions
    ONTAP includes predefined storage services that are mapped to corresponding minimum performance factors.
  3. Adding Microsoft SQL Server over SAN to Storage Manager
    You can use the Enhanced tab to add an instance of Microsoft SQL Server over SAN to Storage Manager.
  4. 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.
  5. Editing an application
    You can edit a provisioned application to increase to storage size or to manage the Snapshot copies of the application.
  6. Deleting an application
    You can delete a provisioned application when it is no longer required.
  7. Applications window
    You can use Storage Manager to display a list of the applications in a storage virtual machine (SVM). The list includes detailed information about each application.
