TASK 1: ENSURE CONNECTIVITY TO YOUR ONTAP CLUSTER

In this task, you familiarize yourself with the Windows Server desktop. You ensure connectivity to and verify

the health of the ONTAP cluster and Linux server.

STEP ACTION

1. On your Windows Server, minimize the Windows Server Manager Dashboard (if it is open), and

then click the Desktop tile.

2. To connect to the ONTAP cluster UI, browse to the NetApp OnCommand System

Manager URL, which is built in to ONTAP 9. (NetApp OnCommand System Manager

is introduced in the next module).

To connect to the CLI of the ONTAP cluster, you use PuTTY. PuTTY is a UI for the Telnet and

Secure Shell (SSH) protocols.

3. On the desktop, double-click the putty icon.

4. You can connect to cluster1 through the cluster1_mgmt cluster-management logical

interface (LIF). You can also connect through the cluster1-01_mgmt and cluster1-

02_mgmt node-management LIFs.



STEP ACTION

5. In the PuTTY Configuration dialog box, double-click cluster1_mgmt:

6. If a PuTTY Security Alert dialog box appears, click Yes.



STEP ACTION

7. At the ONTAP cluster login prompt, provide the cluster1 credentials:

login as: admin

Password: Netapp123

The ONTAP cluster CLI prompt and cursor appear:

8. If you have any difficulty logging in to the ONTAP cluster CLI, refer to this table.

Ensure that you are using the correct user name and password in the correct case (both

are case-sensitive).

SYSTEM HOST NAME IP ADDRESS USER NAME PASSWORD

END OF EXERCISE



EXERCISE 2: CLUSTER COMPONENTS

In this exercise, you use the CLI to identify components in a two-node ONTAP cluster.

OBJECTIVES


Identify the components and resources that make up a cluster

Describe the physical storage components





To connect to the Windows Server jump-host, use the connection information that the instructor assigned to

you. From the Windows desktop, you connect to the other servers in your exercise environment.











TASK 1: CLUSTER COMPONENTS

In this task, you identify the components and resources in an ONTAP cluster storage environment.

STEP ACTION

1. On the desktop, double-click the putty icon:

2. In the PuTTY Configuration dialog box, double-click cluster1_mgmt.


login as: admin

Password: Netapp123


4. Note two valuable ONTAP clustershell commands: rows 0, and system timeout

modify -timeout 0. The rows command sets the number of rows that are displayed

before the screen output is paused. If you set the number to 0, you turn off screen pause.

The system timeout command sets the amount of time before the command shell

session is terminated. If you set the timeout period to zero, you turn off the timeout.

5. Set the number of rows to 0:

cluster1::> rows 0

6. Set the system timeout period to 0:

cluster1::> system timeout modify -timeout 0

7. One of the biggest strengths of ONTAP is the CLI, also known as the clustershell. The

clustershell is described in depth in the next module; To quickly exploit the full

functionality of the tool, use the following tips:

Use the question mark “?” when you are unsure of the commands that are available.

Use tab-completion to complete commands for which you are unsure of the syntax.



STEP ACTION

8. Enter a question mark and review the commands that you can use at the root of the clustershell:

______________________________________________________________________________



STEP ACTION

19. When you are unsure of a command, use tab-completion to complete the command.

When the potion of the command or command parameter is unique, the command

interpreter automatically completes it.

Examples:

cluster1::> clu<tab>

Results in:

cluster1::> cluster

cluster1::> cluster h<tab>

Results in:

cluster1::> cluster ha

cluster1::> cluster ha s<tab>

Results in:

cluster1::> cluster ha show

When the potion of the command or command parameter is not unique, the command interpreter

lists all possible options.

Example:

cluster1::> cluster s<tab>

Results in:

cluster1::> cluster s

E2-1 NetApp Configuration and Administration Basics: Management


MODULE 2: MANAGEMENT

EXERCISE 1: COMMAND-LINE MANAGEMENT

In this exercise, you navigate the ONTAP cluster management using the clustershell.

OBJECTIVES


Use the clustershell to manage a cluster

Change privilege levels in the clustershell











ONTAP cluster

management LIF (cluster1) cluster1 192.168.0.50 admin (case sensitive) Netapp123





TASK 1: CLUSTERSHELL NAVIGATION

In this task, you learn about cluster management using the default ONTAP CLI, the clustershell.

STEP ACTION

1. On the Windows Server desktop, double-click the putty icon.



login as: admin

Password: Netapp123


You have entered all clustershell commands at the root command prompt cluster1::>. Next,

you enter commands in subdirectories.

4. Navigate to the network subdirectory:

cluster1::> network

Sample output:

cluster1::network>

5. Navigate to the network>port subdirectory:

cluster1::network> port

Sample output:

cluster1::network port>

6. The cluster name and “::” do not change as you progress through subdirectories.



STEP ACTION

7. List the available commands:

cluster1::network port> ?

Sample output:

broadcast-domain> Manage broadcast domains

ifgrp> The ifgrp directory

modify Modify network port attributes

show Display network port attributes

show-address-filter-info Print the port's address filter information

vlan> The vlan directory

8. Modify a network port:

cluster1::network port> modify

Sample output:

Usage:

[-node] <nodename> Node

[-port] {<netport>|<ifgrp>} Port

[ -mtu <integer> ] MTU

[ -autonegotiate-admin {true|false} ] Auto-Negotiation Administrative

[ -duplex-admin {auto|half|full} ] Duplex Mode Administrative

[ -speed-admin {auto|10|100|1000|10000|40000} ] Speed Administrative

[ -flowcontrol-admin {none|receive|send|full} ] Flow Control Administrative

[ -ipspace <IPspace> ] IPspace Name

9. Square brackets ([]) represent optional command parameters. [-node] <nodename>

indicates that the parameter name, -node, is optional but the parameter value,

<nodename>, is required. Parameters that don’t require names are called positional

parameters. Positional parameter values must be in the exact order in the usage information.

Example: network port modify <nodename> <ifgrp> is correct, but network port

modify <netport> <nodename> is incorrect.

10. Enter two periods (..) to navigate “up” a directory:

cluster1::network port> ..

Sample output:

cluster1::network>

11. Navigate back to the root of the command directory:

cluster1::network> top

Sample output:

cluster1::>

12. For more information about a command, enter the command name preceded by man,

such as man cluster. To exit, enter q.

13. Review information about the network and volume commands.



STEP ACTION

14. The clustershell has multiple privilege levels. Use the set -privilege <level>

command to change levels. When you change to the advanced privilege level, an

asterisk is added to the command prompt, such as cluster1::*>.

15. Display all of the commands in the metrocluster subdirectory:

cluster1::> metrocluster ?

Sample output:

check> Check MetroCluster configuration and display

results

configure Configure MetroCluster and start DR mirroring

for the node and its DR group

heal Heal DR data aggregates and DR root aggregates

interconnect> MetroCluster interconnect commands

modify Modify MetroCluster configuration options

node> Display MetroCluster nodes

operation> Display MetroCluster operation status

show Display MetroCluster configuration information

switchback Switch back storage and client access

switchover Switch over storage and client access

vserver> Manage MetroCluster Vservers

16. Change the clustershell privilege level from admin to advanced (reply “y” when prompted):

cluster1::> set -privilege advanced

Sample output:

Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use them only when

directed to do so by NetApp personnel.

Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y



STEP ACTION

17. Display all of the commands in the metrocluster subdirectory:

cluster1::*> metrocluster ?

Sample output:

check> Check MetroCluster configuration and display

results

config-replication> *Display configuration replication information

configure Configure MetroCluster and start DR mirroring

for the node and its DR group

heal Heal DR data aggregates and DR root aggregates

interconnect> MetroCluster interconnect commands

modify Modify MetroCluster configuration options

node> Display MetroCluster nodes

operation> Display MetroCluster operation status

show Display MetroCluster configuration information

switchback Switch back storage and client access

switchover Switch over storage and client access

vserver> Manage MetroCluster Vservers

18. Has anything changed?

______________________________________________________________________________

19. Change the privilege level back to admin.

20. Use the -fields parameter to selectively limit the fields in the output of commands or

to change the order in which fields are displayed. Use the question mark to get a list of

all of the field names for a particular command. Example: -fields ?

21. In the previous module, you issued the storage aggregate show -aggr n1_aggr_main

command, and the output spanned multiple pages. Which command limits the aggregate show

output to the aggregate name, RAID status, and SnapLock type?

______________________________________________________________________________



TASK 2: CLUSTERSHELL SHORTCUTS

In this task, you use more cluster management features and shortcuts for the clustershell.

STEP ACTION

1. View the ONTAP images in node1:

cluster1::> system image show -node cluster1-01

Sample output:

Is Is Install

Node Image Default Current Version Date

-------- ------- ------- ------- ------------------------- -------------------

cluster1-01

image1 false false 9.0RC1 7/3/2016 17:54:30

image2 true true 9.0RC2 8/22/2016 05:53:32


2. Use the up arrow key to recall the previous command. Use the up and down arrow keys

to navigate the command history buffer.

3. Use the up arrow key to reissue the command for node2.

4. List the commands that are in the command-history buffer:

cluster1::> history

Sample output:

1 network

2 port

3 modify

4 ..

5 top

6 man network

7 man volume

8 set -privilege advanced

9 set -privilege admin

10 system image show -node cluster1-01

11 system image show -node cluster1-02

5. The redo command reissues commands from the command history buffer. For the

example in the previous step, redo 11 would reissue the eleventh command in the list,

the system image show -node cluster1-02 command and redo -3 would

reissue the second to the last command, the system image show -node cluster1-01

command. The reason that -3 reissues the second to the last command in the list instead of the

third to the last command is because in this example, the history command would also be

added to the list as the last command in the buffer.

6. Which two commands could be used to reissue the man network command?

______________________________________________________________________________



END OF EXERCISE



EXERCISE 2: LOGIN BANNER AND MESSAGE OF THE DAY

In this exercise, you configure a login banner and a message of the day (MOTD) to communicate

administrative information to CLI users of the cluster or of a particular storage virtual machine (SVM).

OBJECTIVES


Update the login banner

Modify the message of the day

















TASK 1: UPDATE THE LOGIN BANNER

In this task, you configure a login banner to provide additional administrative information to CLI users of

cluster1.

STEP ACTION

1. Open a PuTTY session to the cluster1 cluster management LIF (cluster1_mgmt), and then view

the current cluster-wide login banner:

cluster1::> security login banner show

Sample output:

The login banner has not been configured for the cluster or any data Vserver.

2. Change the cluster-wide login banner (the command is case-sensitive):

cluster1::> security login banner modify -message "Authorized users

ONLY!"

3. Open a second PuTTY session to the cluster1 cluster management LIF (cluster1_mgmt) and

provide the cluster1 credentials:

login as: admin

Password: Netapp123

The new login banner appears.

4. Reset the cluster-wide login banner to the default:

cluster1::> security login banner modify -message ""



TASK 2: MODIFY THE MESSAGE OF THE DAY

In this task, you modify the message of the day to provide more administrative information to CLI users of

cluster1.

STEP ACTION

1. The message of the day (MOTD) provides administrative information after security

credentials are validated. Because a user first provides credentials, the message can be

targeted directly at the administrator who has logged in. The message can include

various information:

Cluster name, node name, or SVM name

Cluster date and time

Name of the user logging in

Most recent login for the user on any node in the cluster

Login device name or IP address

Operating system name

Software release version

Effective cluster version string

2. Open a PuTTY session to the cluster1 cluster management LIF (cluster1_mgmt), and then view

the current cluster-wide message of the day:

cluster1::> security login motd show

Sample output:

The message of the day has not been configured for the cluster or any data Vserver.

3. Enter interactive mode (the command is case-sensitive):

TASK 3: SYNCHRONIZE THE SYSTEM TIME FOR WINDOWS DOMAINS

In this task, you manually synchronize the time zone, system date, and time on the Windows Server to the

system date and time in the ONTAP cluster.

STEP ACTION

1. Windows domains must be synchronized to within 5 minutes of all member servers.

If the time of the ONTAP cluster is not synchronized with a domain controller, then the

ONTAP cluster cannot join or remain joined to the Windows domain.

Without synchronization, computers in the Windows domain cannot access resources in the

ONTAP cluster, and resources in the cluster cannot access the Windows domain.

2. Click the time and date display in the lower-right corner of the desktop:

3. Click Change date and time settings:



STEP ACTION

4. Review the date, time, and time zone on the Windows Server:

5. In the following steps, you determine which time zone has been configured in the

ONTAP cluster and, if necessary, change the cluster time zone to US/Pacific.

Etc/UTC Time Zone

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard by which the world regulates

clocks and time. UTC is one of several replacements for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The zone information database, which is a collaborative compilation of time zone information,

has a special area called “Etc.” The Etc area is for administrative zones, particularly for

“Etc/UTC,” which represents UTC.

6. Time zones can differ across Microsoft Windows domains, as long as the date and time

across the time zones are synchronized. However, you might need to configure the time

zone of your ONTAP cluster.

7. Open a PuTTY session to the cluster1 cluster management LIF (cluster1_mgmt), and then show

the configured time zone:

cluster1::> timezone

Sample output:

Timezone: Etc/UTC



STEP ACTION

8. If the time zone of the ONTAP cluster differs from the time zone of the Windows Server (that you

reviewed in step 4), enter the following case-sensitive command to change the cluster time zone

configuration:

cluster1::> timezone US/Pacific

Sample output:

1 entry modified

9. Display the date and time on the ONTAP cluster:

cluster1::> date

Sample output:

Node Date Time zone

--------- ------------------------ -------------------------

cluster1-01

Sun Apr 03 07:36:05 2016 US/Pacific

cluster1-02

Sun Apr 03 07:36:04 2016 US/Pacific


10. The date command ensures consistency across nodes by setting the date and time on

all nodes in the ONTAP cluster. The date command has the following format: date

[year][month][day][hour][minute]. Example:

cluster1::> date 201604160600

cluster1::> date

Sample output:

Node Date Time zone

--------- ------------------------ -------------------------

cluster1-01

Sat Apr 16 06:00:05 2016 US/Pacific

cluster1-02

Sat Apr 16 06:00:05 2016 US/Pacific


11. If the date and time on the Windows Server (which you reviewed in step 4) differs by more than

five minutes from the date and time on the ONTAP cluster, change the date and time on the

ONTAP cluster:

cluster1::> date [year][month][day][hour][minute]

12. The date command also accepts the -u parameter to set the date and time in UTC

mode. In UTC mode, the format is -u [<[[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]hhmm[.ss]]>]. See

the ONTAP Commands: Manual Page Reference for more information.



TASK 4: ASSIGN A NETWORK TIME PROTOCOL (NTP) SERVER TO THE CLUSTER

In this task, you assign a Network Time Protocol (NTP) network time server for cluster1.

STEP ACTION

1. On the System Manager menu bar, click the Configurations tab:

2. You might need to maximize your browser window to see all of the tabs.

3. In the Configurations pane, in the Cluster Settings section, click Date and Time:

4. In the Date and Time configuration dialog box, click Edit.



STEP ACTION

5. In the Edit Date and Time window, enter the IP address (192.168.0.11) of the Windows Server

and click Add:

6. Click OK.

7. In the Date and Time configuration window, verify that the Windows Server IP address has been

set as the time server for cluster1:

8. To avoid issues with the CIFS protocol, always assign one of the domain controllers as

the network time server for ONTAP clusters. The NTP service setting for the ONTAP

cluster keeps all nodes in the cluster synchronized with the Windows domain time.

_NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI

_____________________________________________________________________________


_no

______________________________________________________________________________

11. Which volumes, if any, are not mounted in the namespace, and why?

_finance4_SAN_volume, because the namespace is for NAS volumes

______________________________________________________________________________

13. Which protocols require shares to be defined for client access?

_SMB (CIFS)

______________________________________________________________________________

14. How many shares are available and visible to the client?

_one (finance1)

______________________________________________________________________________

17. What is the Active Directory Domain Name for SMB_FINANCE?

_LEARN.NETAPP.LOCAL

_____________________________________________________________________________

18. Which version or versions of NFS are enabled?

_NFSv3

_____________________________________________________________________________

21. What would happen if the new rule had a rule index of 2 instead of 1?

_the new rule would never be used, because the rule ahead of it maps to all clients

_____________________________________________________________________________



TASK 2: EXPLORE SMB CLIENT CONFIGURATION

STEP ACTION

2. In storage-system terms, what are 192.168.0.61 and 192.168.0.60?

_logical interfaces (LIFs)

_____________________________________________________________________________

3. In storage-system terms, what are finance1 and smb_main_share?

_shares

_____________________________________________________________________________

7. Where does this file reside on the storage system?

_the volume finance1_CIFS_volume

_____________________________________________________________________________

22. Is the finance1_data file the same file that you edited in step 5?

_no, this file is a daily Snapshot copy (created on 08-25-2016 at 10:00am) of the file in Step 5.

_____________________________________________________________________________



TASK 3: EXPLORE NFS CLIENT CONFIGURATION

STEP ACTION

6. Does the list of exported directories from the SVM match the list of exported volumes in the

namespace for svm_finance? If not, what is missing?

Hint: see task 1, step 9.

_no, finance1_CIFS_volume, finance2_NFS_volume, and finance3_NAS_volume should also be

listed

_____________________________________________________________________________

12. Does this export list match the exported volumes in the namespace for svm_finance?

_yes

_____________________________________________________________________________

18. What is the meaning of -rw-r--r-- in front of the file name?

_The file owner has read and write permission, the file group has read permission, and all other

users (“rest of the world”) have read permission.

EXERCISE 3: CONFIGURING AN SVM FOR SMB WORKGROUPS

TASK 2: CREATE AN SVM FOR SMB WORKGROUPS

STEP ACTION

5. What IP address is associated with the new LIF?

Hint: network interface show.

_192.168.0.67

_____________________________________________________________________________

END OF EXERCISE



MODULE 7: SAN

EXERCISE 1: SAN

TASK 1: EXPLORE ONTAP IP SAN CONFIGURATION

STEP ACTION

9. Are any LUNs available in the storage virtual machine (SVM)?

_yes

______________________________________________________________________________

11. On which of the two tabs (Initator Groups or Portsets) can you view mappings of IP addresses to

LIFs?

_Portsets

______________________________________________________________________________

14. Which portion of the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) is the SVM identifier?

_vs.4

_____________________________________________________________________________

15. How many LIFs are defined for each node?

_two

_____________________________________________________________________________



TASK 2: EXPLORE ISCSI CLIENT CONFIGURATION

STEP ACTION

2. Compare finance1 (E:) with finance4 (F:).

Do the storage locations look the same? If not, how do they differ?

_no, finance1 (E:) appears under “Network locations” with IP address 192.168.0.61, and

finance4 (F:) appears under “Devices and drives” and looks the same as the local disk (C:)

_____________________________________________________________________________

12. From the Disk Management utility, is there any easy way to tell that finance4 (F:) is not a local

disk?

_no

_____________________________________________________________________________

17. How many connections are active to the ONTAP cluster?

_one

_____________________________________________________________________________

18. Which ONTAP LIF is active?

_192.168.0.62

_____________________________________________________________________________

19. Is multipath I/O active? If so, which load-balancing policy is being used?

_yes, Round Robin With Subset
