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

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

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
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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.

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

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.
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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)
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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)
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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.
7/25/2019 Boopathy Netapp Storage LAB
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.
