NetApp Setup Cheat Sheet

http://blog.aarondelp.com/2009/05/netapp-setup-cheat-sheet.html 
This is getting a little closer to something I am happy with.  I have tried to list both telnet(SSH) and FilerView for everything up to the volume level.  I will fill in the rest later.  After that, my next major update will be to add Systems Manager for each step.  I am waiting on Systems Manager version 1.1 to be released before I update that piece.  I have also noted where vifs will be changed to interface groups (ifgrp) in ONTAP8.


Latest Revision Date: 10/28/2009 tested on ONTAP 7.3.1

Setting Up a Filer:

1. Check version and licenses

  • (telnet) license to list
  • (telnet) license add (key) to add a license
  • (FilerView) Filer -> Manage Licenses
2. Setup Network Interfaces (set up single-mode and multi-mode vifs or ifgrps)
  • NOTE: You can't modiy a vif once it is created.  I usually have to delete the vif and start over to modify it.  This also means network service will go down on that port group!
  • (telent) ifconfig -a to list the interfaces
  • (telnet) ifconfig command to manage the interfaces
  • (telent) To manage vifs in ONTAP 7: vif command, in ONTAP 8: ifgrp
  • (telnet) You can also run setup, will probably require a reboot!
  • (FilerView) Network -> Manage Interfaces -> i.e. vif1a or vif1b
3. Enable SSH on the filer
  • (telnet)  secureadmin setup ssh
  • (FilerView) Secure Admin ->SSH -> Configure -> Generate Keys -> OK -> Apply
4. Set Snap reserve on Aggr0 if not MetroCluster
  • The default for this is 5%.  I have seen some set this to 0% if not using MetroCluster.  I set it to 3% because I have seen issues if set to 0% and NetApp support likes at least a little reserve at this level for disaster recovery
  • (telnet) snap reserve -A aggr0 3
  • (FilerView) I don't think this is possible from FilerView
5. Resize Vol0
  • (telnet) vol size vol0 15g for 2000 series (20gb on 3000 series)
  • (telnet) vol size vol0 to check
  • (FilerView) Volumes -> Manage -> Click on vol0
    • Click Resize Storage
    • Click Next -> Click Next -> Enter New Volume Size -> Next -> Commit -> Close
6. Iscsi & FCP status
  • (telnet) iscsi status to check
  • (telnet) iscsi start to enable
  • (telnet) same commands for fcp
  • (FilerView) LUNs -> Enable/Disable ->Check Enable Box
7. NTP Setup
  • (telnet)  to list all time options: options timed
  • (telnet) options timed.servers 0.us.pool.ntp.org,1.us.pool.ntp.org,2.us.pool.ntp.org (or enter your time servers for your site)
  • (telnet) options timed.proto ntp (if not already set to ntp)
  • (telent) options timed.log on (if you would like the updates to go to console and log)
  • (telnet) options timed.enable on
  • (FilerView) Filer -> Set Date/Time -> Modify Date/Time
    • Choose Time Zone -> Click Next
    • Choose Automatic -> Click Next
    • Change Protocol to ntp -> Click Next
    • Enter ntp servers 0.us.pool.ntp.org (1&2) - or any other ntp server you have
    • Click Commit -> Click Close
8. Enable and Test Autosupport
  • (telnet) to list all options: options autosupport 
  • (telnet) options autosupport.from (userid) - sets the userid autosupport is sent from
  • (telnet) options autosupport.mailhost (host ip or name)
  • (telnet) options autosupport.to (user1,user1)
  • (telnet) options autosupport.enable on
  • (telnet) options.autosupport.doit test - generates a test autosupport
  • (FilerView) Filer -> Configure Autosupport
    • Change Autosupport enabled to Yes
    • Enter mailhosts
    • Enter To: fields -> Click Apply
    • Click Test Autosupport on the left -> Click Send Mail
9. Check Cluster Failover
  • (telnet) cf status – Check Cluster Failover Status
  • (telnet) cf partner - Lists the partner head
  • (telent) cf monitor – more details on failover
  • (telnet) cf  takeover - This will reboot the host you are taking over!
  • (telnet) cf giveback - when partner is ready to receive back
  • (FilerView) Cluster - Click the buttons!  :)
10. Disk Commands (Assign Drives to Controller)
  • Typically I would assign the odd disks to the first controller and the evens to the second controller.  I have also assigned the majority of drives to one controller and a minimum (3-4 drives) to the other controller to maximize capacity
  • (telnet) disk show –n - show disks NOT owned
  • (telnet) disk show –o (controller name) - show disks owned by a controller
  • (telnet) disk show –v - show all disks owned and not owned
  • (telnet) disk assign (drive#)
  • (telnet) disk remove_ownership (drive#) (This is a priv set advanced command!)
  • (telent) disk zero spares
  • (FilerView) - I don't think this is possible from FilerView
11. Aggregate Commands (Assign Drives to Aggregate)

  • In RAID-DP environments, if there are 2 hot spares, I often add one back in.  You already have 2 drive failure with RAID-DP and this way you have one more drive capacity
  • (telnet) aggr status -v - shows status with volume information
  • (telnet) aggr status –r - shows which drives are in the aggr already including raid groups
  • (telnet) aggr options (aggr) - shows all options for the aggr (raid groups, raid type, etc.) 
  • (telnet) aggr show_space -m OR -g
  • (telnet) aggr add (aggr) –d (drive#)
  • (FilerView) Aggregates -> Click on the aggregate
    • Click Show Raid to see existing disk configuration
    • Click Add Disks to add new disks and follow the wizard
12. Volume Commands (Create Volumes From Aggregates)

  • (telnet) vol status - shows all volumes and options
  • (telnet) vol create (volumename) -s none (aggr) (size) - create volume with no guarantee
  • (telnet) vol create (volumename) -s volume (aggr) (size) - create volume with volume guarantee
  • (telnet) vol size (volume) - check the volume size
  • (telnet) vol size (volume) (size) - set volume to new size
  • (telnet) vol autosize (volume) on - turn on volume autogrow, the volume will grow by default in 5% increments until 20% growth achieved by default
  • (telnet) vol autosize volume -m (new max size) -i (new increment amount) - notice that even though the defaults are 20% max and 5% increments, if you change the value the new values have to be in space (MB or GB)!
  • (telnet) vol autosize (volume) - reports the current setting
  • (telnet) vol options (volume) - list the volume options
  • (telnet) vol options (volume) guarantee volume OR none - sets the volume guarantee to volume or none
    (telnet) vol options (volume) fractional_reserve (value) - sets fractional reserve to (value) but only works if volume guarantee is volume.
  • (telnet) vol options (volume) try_first snap_delete OR volume_grow - sets the value to which method a volume will use when it runs out of space.  It will either grow the volume or delete snap shots.  The defaults is to grow the volume.
  • (FilerView) Too much here to list.  Just click on volumes and poke around.  The following aren't possible in FilerView that I can tell: volume autosize, volume try_first option, changing fractional reserve
13. Check and Modify Snapshot Settings as Needed per Volume

  • NOTE: Disable the snapshot schedule on the volume if SnapManager is protecting the volume
  • (telnet) vol options (volume) nosnap on - Turn off the SnapShot Schedule but leave the schedule in place. I do this to disable snapshots in favor of the following command
  • (telnet) snap sched (volume) 0 0 0 - Disable SnapShots by modifying the schedule.  I like the first option better.
  • (telnet) snap reserve (volume) (#) - Sets the snap reserve to #% of the volume
  • (telnet) snap autodelete (volume) - shows the snapshot autodelete settings
  • (telnet) snap autodelete (volume) on - turns on snapshot autodelete (Check the settings!  Too many default settings to list here!)
  • (FilerView) Too much here to list.  Just click on Volumes -> Snapshots and poke around.  The snap autodelete option is not possible in FilerView that I can tell.
14. Set DeDupe Settings per Volume
  • DELETE EXISTING SNAPSHOTS FIRST ON THE TARGET VOLUME!
  • Note: For the sis command you need the full volume path, /vol/vol0 for instance
  • (telnet) sis on (full volume path) - enables dedupe on that volume
  • (telnet) sis start (full volume path) - runs dedupe on that volume now
  • (telnet) df –sh - To check space saving on DeDupe
  • (telnet) sis config and sis status to check settings
  • (telnet) sis config -s sun,mon-fri,sat@0,3-9,12 (full volume path) - The -s option allows you to change the schedule.  You can list the days separated by commas or a range by dash, same with hours.
  • (FilerView) This is not possible in FilerView
15. Cifs setup (set up ntp first!)
  • (telnet) cifs setup
  • OR (Filer View) CIFS -> Configure -> Setup Wizard
16. To Set-up a CIFS Share (Add Volume First!)
  • (Filer View) CIFS -> Shares -> Add
  • (Filer View) CIFS -> Shares -> Manage -> Change Access
17. NFS Setup (Add Volume First!)
  • Need to Add NFS Export Permissions
18. LUN Setup (Add Volume First!)
  • Need more information here
  • (telnet) lun setup - wizard to create the lun and map the igroup all in one
  • (telnet) lun set reservation (full path to lun) enable OR disable - disable space reservation to thin provision the LUN
  • (Filer View) LUNS -> Add (Name Lun with aggr.LUN file convention)
  • Add an igroup and assign initiators
  • LUNS -> Manage -> No Maps
Other Common Information Commands That I Still Need to Add and Document:
Sysconfig

snap reclaimable
snap delta
aggr show_space (aggr) -g
shelfchk
Wrfile /etc/hosts
Rdfile /etc/hosts
Rdfile /etc/rc
rdfile /etc/messages

Priv set advanced
Led_on (drive#) (get nmber from disk show) (need priv set advanced first)
(priv set) disk shm_stats 
(need to add deswizzle status command)
sysstat
statit (disk utilization)
stats (performance data)
reallocate measure or
reallocate start
to see raid groups: sysconfig -r OR aggr status -R
fcstat device_map - command to show shelf layout
sysconfig -d
interface alias process
