E-Series systems documentation1
Release notesWhat’s new in SANtricity OSThe following tables describe new features in SANtricity OS 11.7 for embeddedmanagement of EF300, EF600, E2800/EF280, and E5700/EF570 controllers.New features in Version 11.73New featureDescriptionResource Provisioning and DULBEsupportResource Provisioning capabilities and DULBE drive capabilities arenow fully supported in this release. This support includes making hostdirected UNMAP on Resource-Provisioned volumes more widelyusable.EF600 SAS (512e) expansionThis release provides support for expansion to SAS-3 enclosures forthe EF600 storage system. With this expansion, the 4KiB-block NVMeSSDs can coexist with 512e SAS SSDs and HDDs. However, driveswith different block sizes cannot be configured in the same pool orvolume group.QLC SSD supportThis release supports the current generation of QLC SSDs that haveONTAP feature set in the drive firmware but do not have the full ESeries-specific feature set. QLC drives (NVMe only) are lower cost, buthave lower write performance and a lower endurance rating so theyshould not be used with write-intensive workloads.TLS 1.3 supportTLS 1.3 is now supported for embedded management. This supportapplies to System Manager and embedded Web Services, with theability to enable or disable it. (TLS 1.3 support was added in aprevious release for the Web Services Proxy and Unified Manager.)RAID 1 DDP with 8-drive minimumWith this release, RAID 1 DDP no longer requires a minimum of 11SSDs in a pool. The minimum now allows 8-drive SSD pools if onlyRAID 1 volumes are created in the pool.EKMS key deletionA storage admin can now request an external key management server(EKMS) to delete an old key. The key deletion only takes place duringa re-key process after the installed drives have the new key.New features in Version 11.72New featureDescriptionSNMPv3 supportSNMPv3 is now supported for alert notifications, configurable inSettings › Alerts. SNMPv3 provides security through strongauthentication and data encryption.2
New featureDescriptionSupport replicating keys to multiplekey serversFor external key management for self-encrypting drives, the CreateExternal Key Management dialog includes a new option for addingmultiple key servers.Updated browser versionsSystem Manager minimum browser versions have been updated.New features in Version 11.71New featureDescriptionEF300 expansionThis release provides support for expansion to SAS-3 enclosures forthe EF300 storage system. With this expansion, the 4KiB-block NVMeSSDs can coexist with 512e SAS SSDs and HDDs. However, driveswith different block sizes cannot be configured in the same pool orvolume group.FEC mode option in iSCSIconfigurationFor storage arrays using the 25Gb iSCSI host interface card, a newoption is available for setting the Forward Error Correction (FEC) modewhen you configure iSCSI ports.Remote Storage VolumesThe optional Remote Storage Volumes feature allows you to importvolumes from a remote storage system to a local ESeries storage system using an iSCSI connection. The remote storagemay be the same brand as your E-Series system or from a differentstorage vendor, as long as it is accessible via iSCSI.Sanitize (erase) capability added fornon-FDE drivesThe drive sanitize feature now includes non-FDE drives in theprocedure. From the Hardware page, you can open the Drive’s contextmenu and select "Erase" (previously, this selection was "SecureErase").Secure connection for email alertsTo enable encrypted email notifications, you can optionally configureoutgoing emails (alerts, ASUP dispatches) to supply authenticationcredentials. Encryption types include SMTPS and STARTTLS.AutoSupport additionsAn alert now appears in the Notifications area when AutoSupport is notenabled.Syslog alert format changeThe Syslog alert format now supports RFC 5424.New features in Version 11.703
New featureDescriptionNew storage system model – EF300This release introduces the EF300 low-cost all-NVMe-flash storagesystem. The EF300 includes 24 NVME SSD drives and a single hostinterface card (HIC) per controller. The supported NVMe over Fabricshost interfaces include NVMe over IB, NVMe over RoCE, and NVMeover FC. The supported SCSI interfaces include FC, IB over iSER, andIB over SRP. Multiple EF300 storage systems and other E- Seriesstorage systems can be viewed and managed in Unified Manager.New Resource Provisioning feature(EF300 and EF600 only)The Resource Provisioning feature is new for the EF300 and EF600storage systems. Resource-provisioned volumes can be put in useimmediately with no background initialization process.Add 512e block size option (EF300and EF600 only)For EF300 and EF600 storage systems, a volume can be set tosupport a 512-byte or a 4KiB block size. The 512e capability has beenadded to allow support of the iSCSI host interface and the VMwareOS. If possible, System Managersuggests the appropriate default value.New option for sending AutoSupportdispatches on demandA new Send AutoSupport Dispatch feature allows you to send data totechnical support without waiting for a scheduled dispatch. This optionis available in the AutoSupport tab of the Support Center.External Key Management ServerenhancementsThe feature for connecting to an external key management serverincludes the following enhancements: Bypass the function for creating a backup key. Choose an intermediate certificate for the key management server,in addition to the client and server certificates.Certificate enhancementsThis release allows for using an external tool such as OpenSSL togenerate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR),which also requires you to import a private key file along with thesigned certificate.New Offline Initialization feature forVolume GroupsFor volume creation, System Manager provides a method for skippingthe host assignment step so that newly created volumes are initializedoffline. This capability is applicable only to RAID volume groups onSAS drives (i.e., not to dynamic disk pools or to the NVMe SSDsincluded in the EF300 and EF600 storage systems). This feature is forworkloads that need to have the volumes at full performance whenusage begins, rather than having initialization run in the background.New Collect Configuration DatafeatureThis new feature saves RAID configuration data from the controller,which includes all data for volume groups and disk pools (the sameinformation as the CLI command for save storageArraydbmDatabase). This capability has been added to aid technicalsupport and is located in the Diagnostics tab of the Support Center.4
New featureDescriptionChange default preservation capacity Previously, a 12-drive disk pool was created with enough preservationfor disk pools in 12 drive case(spare) capacity to cover two drives. The default is now changed tohandle a single drive failure to offer a more cost-effective small pooldefault.Release notesRelease Notes are available outside this site.
