12 Gb SAS-3 Requirements Overview § ONTAP 9. x is required for 12 Gb SAS-3 attachment § ONTAP 8. x is not supported § Speed transitions are not permitted between shelves in a 12 Gb stack § 12 Gb or 6 Gb homogenous stacks must be cabled into separate stacks § 12 Gb entry platforms support both 12 Gb and 6 Gb speeds § Shelf speeds in the external stack must be homogenous 52 © 2019 Net.

12 Gb SAS-3 Recommendations Best practices § Provision SAS-3 native homogeneous configurations § Ideal to provision native 12 Gb SAS-3 shelves for all add-on storage within the HA pair § For best performance, provision SAS-3 storage in homogenous stacks within the HA pair § Separate 12 Gb and 6 Gb stacks are permitted within an HA pair, but it is best not to mix speeds within the stack § 12 Gb entry platforms support both 12 Gb and 6 Gb § Shelf speeds in the external stack must be homogenous § Quad Path cabling recommended for large block, 64 k or larger, sequential read workloads § Multipath HA sufficient for other workloads § Upgrade legacy 3 Gb and 6 Gb shelves with IOM 12 for 12 Gb intrastack connectivity § Upgrading to IOM 12 modules enables interoperability with SAS-3 shelves at 12 Gb § Storage stack will operate at 12 Gb, but shelf backplanes will limit individual shelf performance to 6 Gb § 12 Gb drives are not required 53 © 2019 Net.

Alternate Control Path Overview § 12 Gb shelves support in-band ACP (IBACP) with 12 Gb SAS-3 cabling § IBACP is also supported on legacy controllers (9. 0+) and new controllers in (9. 1+) § 6 Gb shelves support both IBACP & out-of-band ACP (OOBACP) § Requires separate Ethernet cabling § OOBACP offered for legacy in 9. 1, 9. 0 and earlier § IBACP requires shelf firmware 2. 09 or later; See KB In. Band ACP setup § Legacy systems with existing IOM 6, require OOBACP to be setup before updating shelf firmware and enabling IBACP § New controllers must have the shelf firmware for IOM 6 updated to 2. 09 prior to attaching storage § 3 Gb shelves support only OOBACP § New controllers do not support IOM 3 as a dedicated ACP port is not present § Supported with legacy systems in 9. 1 and earlier 56 © 2019 Net.
