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).

NetApp Release 9.0RC2: Tue Jul 26 08:55:23 UTC 2016
cluster1-02:
NetApp Release 9.0RC2: Tue Jul 26 08:55:23 UTC 2016
STEP ACTION
12. In the PuTTY Configuration dialog box, double-click linux1.
13. At the Linux Server login prompt, provide the linux1 credentials:
 login as: root
The Linux Server CLI prompt and cursor appear.
14. Verify that the Linux server is responding:

[root@centos65 ~]# uname -a
Sample output:
Linux centos65 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 03:15:09 UTC 2013

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.

jump host
LIF (cluster1)
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
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

OBJECTIVES
 Use the clustershell to manage a cluster
 Change privilege levels in the clustershell


jump host
ONTAP cluster
management LIF (cluster1)
E2-1 NetApp Configuration and Administration Basics: Management
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
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


jump host
LIF (cluster1)
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
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.
