1/17

Basic NetApp Configuration and Administration Lab1

Equipment Diagram

Exercise environment includes several virtual machines (VMs): oneWindows 2012 Server, one Data ONTAP cluster, and one Linux server. Only the

hardware of the Data ONTAP cluster virtual machine (VM) is simulated; The DataONTAP software is authentic.

EXERCISE 1: GETTING TO KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT KIT

Objectives:-

Task 1:- Ensure connectivity to a Data ONTAP cluster

Above screen shows the both the cluster are accessible and in healthy state.

Task 2 :- Synchronize the date and time between a Windows domain anda Data ONTAP cluster

Above image shows the time of both the windows server and clusters are in sync withUS/Pacific time zone


3/17


4/17

Above image shows the DNS entries are added for both cluster1 and UNIX server andboth server and cluster is pinging from windows server.

EXERCISE 2: WORKING WITH DATA ONTAP ADMINISTRATIVE INTERFACES

Objectives:-

Task 1:- List basic commands for managing a Data ONTAP cluster fromthe CLI

There is a huge list of commands which can be used in CLI to manage ONTAP cluster. Ihave listed few of them discussed in the lab training.

Version Displays the version and mode of the ONTAP

? Is similar to the help command where it displays the list of availablecommands.

q Quit the list of commands and return to the CLI prompt

man Display the index of Data ONTAP manual pages

Network Display the network command and sub commands

Clusters Manage clusters

Up Go up one directory

Storage Manage storage ,disks, aggregates and failover


5/17

Task 2:- Add a two-node Data ONTAP cluster to be managed byOnCommand System Manager

Above image shows cluster one is added to the On Command System manager. Andthe cluster is functional and the status is up.

Task 3:- Use OnCommand System Manager to configure the SNMP publiccommunity name for a Data ONTAP cluster


6/17

Above image shows the SNMP protocol is enabled and the community name public isadded to configuration.

EXERCISE 3: HARDWARE BASICS AND MANAGING PHYSICAL COMPONENTS

Objectives:-

Task 1:- Use OnCommand System Manager to display hardwarecomponents

By navigating to Storage on the Nodes section on the Left pane on the commandmanager we can check the volumes and disk layout on any cluster. Images below showthe different section of aggregate tab.


7/17

Task 2:- Use CLI commands to display hardware components

To display the hardware components on a cluster on CLI first we have make surewe are in the navigated to proper cluster and storage command is used to manage to

components.

Command used below for example is storage > disk show


8/17

EXERCISE 4: CREATING AND MANAGING AGGREGATES

Objectives:-

Task 1:- Use OnCommand System Manager to create an aggregate for aData ONTAP cluster

Using create aggregate wizard Aggr1has been created using the on commandmanager.


9/17

Task 2:- Use the command-line interface (CLI) to create an aggregate for aData ONTAP cluster

Using the command Storage aggregate Createaggregate aggr2 hasbeen created .

Task 3:- Delete an aggregate and initialize disks

Now another aggregate by the name aggr_testhas been created. Before deletingthe aggregate must be taken offline using the command Storage aggregate offline.Once it is offline Storage aggregate deletecommand is used to delete the aggregate.

Once the aggregate is deleted initialize the disk using the command Storagedisk zerospares.

EXERCISE 5: SETTING UP A STORAGE VIRTUAL MACHINE

Objectives:-

Task 1:- Use the System Manager Vserver Setup wizard to create an SVM(called a Vserver by the UI)


10/17

Vserver svm1has been created using the setup wizared. And above image shows the

Vserver being listed on the cluster1.

Task 2:- Use the Vserver Setup wizard to configure CIFS and NFS settingsand create a logical interface (LIF) for CIFS and NFS data

Vserver has been configured to accept bot nfs and cifs data.

Task 3:- Use the Vserver Setup wizard to configure a data LIF for theiSCSI protocol


11/17

iSCSI has been configured using above data.

Task 4:- Use the Vserver Setup wizard to configure the SVM administrator

Vserver administrator has been configured.


12/17

Task 5:- Add DNS host records for the SVM management LIF, CIFS dataLIF, and NFS data LIF

Both SVM1 and SVM1_data vservers have been added to the windows DNS manager

EXERCISE 6: CREATING AND MANAGING VOLUMES ON AN SVM

Objectives:-

Task 1:- Delegate volume creation to the SVM administrator (vsadmin)


13/17

Volume creation has been delegated to SVM administrator.

Task 2:- Create volumes on the SVM

Volumes Project_y, Project_z, Teams are created.

Task 3:- Organize the SVM namespace

SVM namespace has been organized in to sub volumes as shown in the image above.

EXERCISE 7: SHARING VOLUMES WITH WINDOWS CLIENTS

Objectives:-

Task 1:- Create a CIFS share for a volume at the root of the namespace


14/17

Vol1 CIFS share has been created.

Task 2:- Change the default access control settings

As shown in the image above access have been granted to Learn\Administrator/

Task 3:- Map a disk to a shared volume and view other volumes that are inthe junction path

Shared Volume has been mounted on the windows server as a network drive.

Task 4:- Create a CIFS share with share-specific permissions for a volumein a junction path


15/17

Provided specific permission for the individual folder .As show abouve wire access tothe folder Project_yis restricted.

EXERCISE 8: EXPORTING VOLUMES TO UNIX AND LINUX CLIENTS

Objectives:-

Task 1:- Confirm that the NFS protocol is allowed on a storage virtual

machine(SVM)

Verified NFS protocol is enabled for the volumes.

Task 2:- Confirm that the data LIF enables the use of the NFS protocol


16/17

Verified LIF allows the nfs protocol.

Task 3:- Configure multiprotocol access for Windows and UNIX users

Windows to UNIX and Unix to windows protocols have been configured successfully.

Task 4:- Create export policies

Export policies have been created.


17/17

Task 5:- Assign an export policy to a volume

Policy has been assigned to the volume and it is accessible in a Unix server.
