FAS/V3200 OVERVIEW
The FAS/V3200 is the newest member of the industry leading NetApp midrange storage controller product line. The
FAS/V3200 continues the tradition of price/performance leadership in the midrange family while introducing new
features and capabilities needed by enterprises making long-term storage investments with todays budget. Key
FAS/V3200 innovations include a new I/O expansion module (IOXM) that provides configuration flexibility that
enables HA configurations in either 3U or 6U footprints, each with higher performance and in the 6U configuration
option offering 50% more slot density. Besides better performance and slot density, the FAS/V3200 also offers
reliability, availability, serviceability, and manageability (RASM) with the integrated service processor (SP), the next
generation of remote management in the NetApp storage family.
1.1
The FAS/V3200 series is new NetApp midrange platform family offering improved price/performance, higher spindle
limits and capacities, and RASM improvements using the integrated service processor (SP).
The FAS/V3200 also introduces an optional IOXM that provides configuration flexibility resulting in 3U and 6U
footprint HA solutions. Both solutions offer better midrange performance and, when using the IOXM in the 6U
solution, a 50% increased slot density.
1.2
I/O expansion module (IOXM) provides 50% more expansion slots than in FAS3100 series.
Configuration options
Higher performing HA solution in a 6U form factor with 50% more slots versus FAS3100.
Integrated SP, next-generation RLM and BMC, which increases FAS/V3200 RASM.
1.3
All transitions offer higher performance, more I/O density, greater scalability than models they replace.
2
2.1
The FAS/V3200 components are the controller module, the I/O expansion module (IOXM), and the chassis.
2.2
The FAS/V3200 controller and IOXM are 1.5U high each, and the chassis is 3U.
2.3
HOW ARE THE CONTROLLER AND IOXM USED WITH THE FAS/V3200 CHASSIS?
Depending on the FAS/V3200 model, a chassis can be built using a single controller, two controllers, or a controller
and an IOXM. More details about standalone and HA configurations are covered in the next section.
2.4
The FAS/V comes in three models, the FAS/V3210, the FAS/V3240, and FAS/V3270, which represent the low, mid,
and high-end controllers, respectively.
2.5
WHAT MODEL STRING EXTENSIONS ARE USED TO DENOTE HA AND THE PRESENCE OF
IOXM?
2.6
The FAS/V3200 controller is hot-swappable and, it is important to note, does not require turning off either power
supply (PSU).
The IOXM is not hot-swappable and will cause Data ONTAP to panic if removed. An IOXM hot-plugged into a running
controller will not be recognized until a reboot takes place.

FAS/V3210, FAS/V3240E, and FAS/V3270E are known as single chassis standalone configurations.
FAS/V3210A, FAS/V3240A, and FAS/V3270A are known as single chassis HA configurations.
FAS/V3240AE and FAS3270AE are known as dual chassis HA configurations.
3.3
3.4
A FAS/V3210 standalone controller can have a second controller added to become FAS/V3210A.
A FAS/V3240E and FAS/V3270E single chassis standalone controller can have a second chassis with a controller
and IOXM to become FAS/V3240AE and FAS/V3270AE.
3.5
Yes. Hardware-assisted takeover on the FAS/V3200 uses the new SP,, and the hardware-assisted takeover
functionality is similar to using the RLM in FAS3000, FAS3100, and FAS6000 controller families.
There is more information about the SP in questions 4.9 through 4.13.
3.6
The FAS/V3200 series supports HA failover in single chassis and dual chassis configurations. In a single chassis HA
configurations the HA interconnect runs over the backplane and no external connection is needed. In dual controller
HA configurations the HA interconnect uses the onboard c0a and c0b ports and requires external connections.
3.7
While the chassis backplane is not fault tolerant, there are no active components on the backplane that controllers
rely on to remain in a running state. This passive backplane is a highly reliable component that is very unlikely to
cause an outage on a FAS/V3200 series. Reliable passive backplanes are used in almost all modular storage
systems with two controllers in a single chassis as well as network switches. Also, NetApp has been shipping
systems and subsystems with shared backplanes for quite some time (DS14-class disk shelves, the FAS200 series,
FAS2000, and FAS3100 series) that have demonstrated very high reliabilities of the chassis backplane.
3.8
Yes, MetroCluster is available on the FAS/V3200 series in several configuration options. MetroCluster can be used
with all of the configurations covered in Table 1. Note that fabric MetroCluster requires use of DS14mk4 back-end
storage.
3.9
Yes, V-Series configurations are available with all three models. There are two V-Series requirements for the
FAS/V3200.
An X2054A adapter is required for V3270/V3240 array attach; onboard FC ports are not supported.
The V3210 is limited to one LUN group from a single array and can use the onboard FC ports.

The FAS/V3200 ships with Data ONTAP 8.0.1 and will later support Data ONTAP 7.3.5 when available. If there are
plans to run Data ONTAP 7.3.5 later when available, it is important to not configure features specific to Data ONTAP
8.0.1 (that is, 64-bit aggregates).
To run Data ONTAP 7.3.5 on a FAS/3200, either a fresh install or revert is required. A fresh install is used sometimes
as part of netboot but takes longer to initialize the disks and doesnt preserve any configuration details or data. Revert
is faster and does preserve configurations and data, but is a hidden command and requires support.
See question 4.5 about SP firmware for FAS/V3200 systems running Data ONTAP 7.3.5.
4.4
The FAS/V3200 uses the x86_64 build. This same build supports both AMD and the latest platforms based on Intel.
4.5
ARE THE ANY SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RUNNING DATA ONTAP 7.3.5 ON
FAS/V3200?
Yes, to run Data ONTAP 7.3.5, the SP firmware must also be upgraded to v1.2.
4.6
HOW ARE NVLOG CONTENTS PROTECTED ON THE FAS/V3200 UPON DIRTY SHUTDOWN?
As with the FAS2000 series, FAS/V3200 uses battery backed-up system memory called NVMEM, and it provides
similar functionality to NVRAM on other FAS platforms. Unlike NVRAM, which uses separate battery backed-up
memory, NVMEM uses space carved out of battery backed-up main system memory to provide NVMEM functionality.
4.7
HOW LONG WILL NVMEM BATTERY BACKUP LAST, AND HOW LONG TO RECHARGE A
COMPLETELY DISCHARGED NVMEM BATTERY?
The NVMEM battery will last up to 72 hours, and it takes 15 hours to charge a completely discharged NVMEM
battery.
4.8
No, the FAS/V3200 does not have an LCD display. However, LEDs are provided on the chassis front to help
determine the state of the controller. Remote management has proven to be the primary source for monitoring
system information versus LCDs. Also, with the SP the state of LEDs can be determined remotely.
4.9
The FAS/V3200 uses the new SP, the next-generation RLM and BMC remote management module, for remote
management functionality. The SP has all the features of RLM and BMC along with new ones that improve RASM
capabilities. The new features are covered in question 4.10.
The FAS/V6200 also leverages the new SP.
4.10 WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEW SERVICE PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT FEATURES?
The SP performs FRU reporting and tracking, monitors and reports on internal sensors, reports on and can set LED
states, and actively manages FAN speed.
Besides the Ethernet management port interface (external management port is shared by SP and e0M), the SP can
also be accessed from the serial console by toggling with CTRL-G. Use CTRL-D to get back to the serial console.

5.1
FAS/V3200 I/O
WHAT KIND OF EXPANSION SLOTS DOES THE FAS/V3200 HAVE?
Each FAS/V3200 controller has two onboard PCIe v2.0 (Gen2) x8 slots. The top slot is full height, full length, and the
bottom slot is full height, length.
Each FAS/V3200 IOXM has four PCIe v1.0 (Gen1) x8 slots that are full height and full length.
5.2
ARE THERE ANY BEST PRACTICES ON USING THE CONTROLLER AND IOXM SLOTS?
Since the controller slots 1 and 2 are PCIe v2.0 (Gen2) slots, high-performance cards such as the 10GbE and 8Gb
FC target cards should be used in them. Storage adapters and even Flash Cache cards are better suited for the
IOXM slots when two high-performance adapters are present.
Build rules in manufacturing will install adapters in the FAS/V3200 according to this best practice, and the NOW
site Sysconfig Guide shows adapter and slot priorities for FAS/V3200 based on this best practice.
5.3
WHAT ONBOARD I/O PORTS DOES THE FAS/V3200 HAVE FOR DATA ACCESS?
Each FAS/V3200 has onboard 6/3Gb SAS, 4Gb FC, and GbE ports for host and storage connectivity.

The private management provides out-of-band management to the SAS DS2246 and DS4243 shelves. For more
information on the ACP port, review the Storage Subsystem Technical FAQ.
5.7
The FAS/V3200 HA interconnect ports, c0a and c0b, are only used with FAS/V3240AE and FAS/V3270AE
configurations and are based in part on having cf licensed. If Data ONTAP detects support, a single controller in a
chassis, and the presence of the cf license during bootup, the HA interconnect ports will be enabled. If Data ONTAP
detects a partner connection over the backplane or no cf license, the HA interconnect ports will be disabled and not
establish a link status if connected.
5.8
Yes, the SFP+ used on the HA interconnection ports is not interchangeable with other SFP+ modules. The required
SFP+ is model X6589-R6.
5.9
CAN OPTICAL AND COPPER CABLES BE USED WITH THE HA INTERCONNECT PORTS?
Yes, if using optical cables, the SFP+ model X6589-R6 is required. If using copper cables, the SFP+ isnt needed as
the cable has the needed SFP+ attached.

SSDs supported in the above shelves can be used on the FAS/V3240 and FAS/V3270.
The FAS/V3210 does not support SSDs.
6.6
CAN DS2246 AND DS4243 BE USED TOGETHER ON A FAS/V3200 WITHOUT THE IOXM?
The DS2246 and DS4342 cannot be on the same storage stack together, and on FAS/V3200 this would require a
SAS HBA be installed into one of the slots as the controller only has two onboard SAS ports.

7.6
No, the three fans provide cooling for both chassis bays.
7.7
The SP on each controller attempts to set the fan speed based on temperatures on the controller. In the case of a
single chassis HA solution, the fans contain logic so the higher of the two controller SP fan speed requests is used.
7.8
WHAT TYPE OF FAN AND POWER SUPPLY FAILURES CAN FAS/V3200 WITHSTAND?
The FAS/V3200 can run indefinitely with a failed fan or power supply.
It should be noted each fan FRU contains two fans, and a failed fan FRU counts as two failed fans and would initiate
a shutdown.
7.9
HOW LONG WILL A FAS/V3200 RUN IF A POWER SUPPLY OR FAN FRU IS REMOVED?
The FAS/V3200 will initiate a shutdown if a fan FRU is removed for more than two minutes.
The FAS/V3200 will run indefinitely if a power supply is removed.
