CHAPTER 1 Introduction of NetApp AltaVault
Cloud Integrated Storage
Overview of AltaVault
AltaVault appliance is a disk-to-disk data storage optimization system with unique cloud storage integration. There are
three types of AltaVault deployments:
Physical hardware appliances, available in AVA400 and AVA800 models.
Virtual appliance, available in AVA-v2, AVA-v8, AVA-v16, and AVA-v32 models.
Cloud-based virtual appliance:
– Amazon Machine Images (AMI), available in AVA-c4, AVA-c8, and AVA-c16 models.
– Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine (AVM), available in the AVA-c4 model.
Supported backup applications and cloud destinations
Refer to the Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT) on the NetApp Support site to validate that the product and versions
that can be used to construct configurations that are supported by NetApp. Specific results depend on each customer's
installation in accordance with published specifications.
AutoSupport
AltaVault supports user-triggered and daily AutoSupports (ASUPs) as well as certain event-based triggers. ASUP
functionality is supported on all AltaVault models. For event-based triggers, see “Viewing the alarm status report” on
page 133.
For more information on ASUP CLI commands, see the NetApp AltaVault Cloud Integrated Storage Command-Line
Interface Reference Guide.
System requirements and specifications
This section specifies the hardware and software requirements.
For system requirements for virtual appliances, see the NetApp AltaVault Cloud Integrated Storage Installation and
Service Guide for Virtual Appliances.

CHAPTER 2 Deploying the AltaVault appliance
This chapter includes the following sections:
“Deployment guidelines” on page 13
“Basic configuration” on page 15
“Advanced configuration” on page 16
“Configuration recovery” on page 16
Deployment guidelines
AltaVault is supported with the backup applications and cloud storage providers identified by the IMT
(interoperability matrix tool)
Refer to the Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT) on the NetApp Support site to validate that the exact product and
feature versions described in this document are supported for your specific environment. The NetApp IMT
defines the product components and versions that can be used to construct configurations that are supported by
NetApp. Specific results depend on each customer's installation in accordance with published specifications.
An AltaVault can only be pointed to one cloud storage provider at a time.
If an existing AltaVault needs to be pointed to a different cloud storage provider than the one currently
configured, you must clear the AltaVault cache before reconfiguring the new cloud storage provider credentials.
All existing data associated with the previous cloud storage provider will remain.

14 NetApp AltaVault Cloud Integrated Storage Administration Guide
Beta Draft
Deploying the AltaVault appliance Deployment guidelines
AltaVault can be deployed in one of two modes: Backup mode or Cold Storage mode. Once deployed, you cannot
change the mode. Use the following table to make a comparison of using AltaVault in backup mode versus cold
storage mode:
You can configure AltaVault folder shares to help describe a policy target.
For example, you can configure a backup application to direct critical system backups to point to a specific folder
on one AltaVault data connection, while noncritical backups might be directed by a backup application to point to
another folder on another AltaVault data connection. This method helps balance priorities of data over the
network and organize data for recovery in case of a disaster. If possible, organize your backup policies to drive
similar data to the same AltaVault unit.
For example, if you are backing up a Windows server farm to multiple AltaVault appliances, operating system
backups are likely to have the best deduplication rates when grouped together to the same AltaVault. File and
application server backups obtain better deduplication when grouped together as well.
AltaVault exports its configuration to a file called altavault_config_(HOSTNAME)_(DATETIME).tgz.
NetApp recommends that you store the configuration file in different physical locations. The configuration file
contains information about the configuration, including the encryption key. Alternatively, you can just export the
encryption key alone.
Note: To access the encrypted data, you need an encryption key. If you lose the encryption key, AltaVault cannot reconstitute the
encrypted data.
Modes Pros Cons
Backup mode • Allows access to the most recent backups on cache.
• Allows global deduplication of all data received by
AltaVault, leading to higher deduplication rates.
• Maximizes data movement efficiency of the WAN
through deduplication of data.
• Cache expansion capability via add on shelves allows for
growth as needed by the business.
• Higher ingest performance than Cold Storage mode.
• Cloud capacity managed
limited to a maximum of up to
5 times the usable space on the
AltaVault’s disk cache.
Cold storage mode • Protects archive workloads for long periods of time,
typically to cool or cold cloud storage tiers.
• Allows access to far greater cloud capacity (Up to 10PB of
storage, based on 1.333 billion files of 100MB average
file size).
• Provides expansive long term storage in just one head
controller unit.
• Minimal deduplication
compared to backup mode.
• Limited network and WAN
performance, dependent on
average, file size of objects
sent to AltaVault.
• Only available on AVA-400
48 TB and virtual models.
• No expansion capability with
shelves.
• Restores are always from the
cloud provider.

Home page
The Home page displays the following parameters:
Cloud and Disk Storage Allocation - The outer circle represents the cloud storage and the inner circle represents
the local AltaVault cache storage. This section also lists the used storage, free storage, and total storage on the
cloud and the disk.
Optimization Service - Specifies whether the Storage Optimization Service is running or has stopped and the
status of the service:
Cloud Storage Reclamation - Provides the completion percentage of the cloud storage reclamation service
(garbage collection). This service runs automatically when needed to clean up fragmented disk and cloud space.
Alarms Triggered - Displays the appliance health status and software update. To view the alarms triggered,
choose Reports > Alarm Status.
System Status - Displays details such as the AltaVault time, system up time, and optimization service up time.
Appliance Information - Provides the appliance hostname and its model number.
Replicated Data - Displays the status of the process of copying data and metadata from the AltaVault to the cloud.
Storage Optimization - Displays the expanded data, deduplicated data, and deduplication factor. Expanded data is
the data that has been backed up locally by the AltaVault. Deduplicated data reflects data that has been optimized
through the use of deduplication and compression. Deduplication factor is the ratio of the expanded data and total
optimized data. The total optimized data includes both deduplication and compression savings.
Cloud Information - Displays the status of the cloud connection that the appliance is configured to communicate
with.
Navigating in the Management Console
You navigate to the tools and reports available to you in the Management Console using cascading menus.
Status Description
Ready Storage Optimization Service is ready to ingest and replicate data to the cloud.
Not ready Storage Optimization Service is unavailable. No data will be ingested or replicated.
Replaying Storage Optimization Service has been terminated during backup replication, either due to loss of power or
a crash. During this replay process, the AltaVault verifies data consistency from its transaction logs.
The amount of time it takes to replay process to complete will depend on the amount of data in flight at the
time the AltaVault appliance was abnormally stopped.
Upgrading Storage Optimization Service is unavailable due to an in-progress upgrade. No data will be ingested or
replicated.
