1.5.1

Ethernet Configuration Recommendations
Switch ports connected to 100Base-TX storage controller ports should be configured manually for speed
and duplex settings (100 Mbit Full Duplex) when possible.
Flow control should be enabled on Gigabit and 10 Gigabit network ports. On the storage controller
configure with Send on, Receive off, and on the switch configure as Send off, Receive on.
PortFast can be enabled on all switch ports connected to the storage controller to allow the port to enter
forwarding state faster.

Note: To trunk VLANs across an interface or IFGRP, you need to set "switchport mode trunk" on that
interface or logical interface. This will allow 802.1q trunking, so that traffic across it is VLAN tagged.
You must then create the relevant VLAN interfaces on the storage controller.
If you want a port or EtherChannel interface to be the only access port for a particular VLAN you must set
"switchport mode access" on that interface. Then give the storage controller interface an IP address on
that VLAN. No other information is required to VLAN tag the frames.
Reboot the controllers at this point for the settings to go into effect.
2.1.13 AutoSupport settings
AutoSupport is an automated diagnostic reporting function designed to notify you and NetApp of any

Data ONTAP® Version:

4.1

Cluster information
It is assumed that the cluster will contain four nodes. If there are more than four nodes, replicate the
appropriate section to add additional node information.
Starting from Data ONTAP 8.1 the 'cluster create' and 'cluster join' commands have built-in
wizards.
The wizard generates hostnames, IP addresses for the cluster LIF and subnet masks for the cluster LIF. It
is recommended to use the cluster setup wizard while creating a new cluster or attempting to join an
existing cluster.
The wizard has the following rules:
The names for the nodes in the cluster are derived from the name of the cluster. If the cluster is
named clust1, the nodes will be names as clust-01, clust-02 and so on. The node name can be
changed later with the cluster::system>node>modify command.
The cluster LIF will be assigned IP address in the 169.254.0.0 range with a Class B subnet
(255.255.0.0) if the default is taken.
The initial cluster creating and configuration will be performed on the first node that is booted. The initial
setup script will ask if the operator wants to create a cluster or join a cluster. The first node will be ―create‖
and subsequent nodes will be ―join‖.

Cluster administrator password
The password for the ‗admin‘ account that the cluster requires
before granting cluster administrator access at the console or
through a secure protocol.
The default rules for passwords are as follows:
A password must be at least eight characters long.
A password must contain at least one letter and one number.
Cluster management LIF IP address
A unique IP address for the cluster management LIF. The cluster
administrator uses this address to access the cluster admin
Vserver and manage the cluster. Typically, this address should be
on the data network.
Cluster management LIF netmask
The subnet mask that defines the range of valid IP addresses on
the cluster management network.
Cluster management LIF default gateway
The IP address for the router on the cluster management network.

Node Management
Data Intercluster
Cluster
Node Management ports are required to maintain connection between the node to site services such as
NTP and AutoSupport. Data ports are used to transfer data or communicate between the cluster and the
applications. Intercluster LIFs are used to setup peer relations between clusters for replicating data
between clusters. Cluster ports are specifically used to transfer data between nodes within a cluster.
Note: Due to BURT 322675, NetApp recommends setting up an interface group for the node
management LIF on each node of the cluster. The instructions below cover scenarios that have or do
not have a fix for this BURT. Follow the section that is relevant to your case. Some of these instructions
might diverge from the guidelines on the NetApp Support site. Check for updated versions of this
document for latest information.
For versions of Data ONTAP that do not have a fix for BURT 322675, create a single-mode interface
group of the following ports. Use this interface group as the port for the node management LIF. The
interface group should be created before using the ‗cluster setup‘ wizard on the node.

Cluster network information
Starting from Data ONTAP 8.1 the 'cluster create' and 'cluster join' commands have built-in wizards to
generate hostnames, IP addresses for the cluster LIF, and subnet masks for the cluster LIF. NetApp
recommends using the cluster setup wizard whenever you create a new cluster or attempt to join an
existing cluster.
The wizard has the following rules:
The names for the nodes in the cluster are derived from the name of the cluster. If the cluster is
named cmode, the nodes will be names as cmode-01, cmode-02 and so on
The cluster LIF is assigned IP address in the 169.254.0.0 range with a Class B subnet (255.255.0.0)
Once the cluster has been defined and the nodes are joined to the cluster, other elements can be created.
These elements can be created using System Manager, Element Manager, or CLI.

AutoSupport settings
AutoSupport is a ‗phone home‘ function to notify you and NetApp of any hardware problems, so that new
hardware can be automatically delivered to solve the issue. (System must remain on a support contract
and the level of responsiveness is dependent on the level of service contract: 2 hours – Next Business
Day.)

Confirm the Cluster Interconnect Cables are connected (for HA pairs).
Confirm there is sufficient space behind the cabinets to perform hardware maintenance.
Confirm that the Cisco Nexus Cluster Interconnect switches are properly placed in the cabinet.
Confirm that the Cisco IP switches are properly placed in the cabinet.
Confirm that the Cisco FCP switches are properly placed in the cabinet.
Confirm that the latest ―Reference Configuration File‖ for the Cisco Nexus switches has been
installed.
Confirm that any VLANs required have been defined to the appropriate switches.
Confirm that the Ethernet cables are properly connected to the Cisco IP switches.
Confirm that the FCP cables are properly connected to the Cisco Fabric switches.

Power On and Perform Cluster Creation, Node and Vserver configuration
Power up the disk shelves to ensure that the disks spin up and are initialized properly.
Connect the console to the serial port cable and establish a console connection using a terminal
emulator like Terra Term, PuTTY or Hyperterm.
Note: Log all console output to a text file.
Power on the controllers.
On the first controller console, reply to the initial Cluster Setup response request with ―create‖ to
initialize the cluster and the first node.
On the next controller console, reply to the initial Cluster Setup response request with ―join‖ to
initialize the second node and join the cluster.
On each subsequent controller, perform the same task as the second controller to join them as
nodes in the cluster.
Install System Manager 2.0 on a Windows or Linux system.

Status

Power On and Perform Cluster Creation, Node and Vserver configuration

Status

Use System Manager 2.0 to install remaining licenses on the cluster.
Note: If any of the nodes are V-Series, the V-Series license needs to be added at the node level
for each node that is a V-Series controller. You have 72 hours from the Cluster Setup script
completion to install the license on the local nodes.
cluster::>run –node node1
node1>license add <V-Series license>
node1>exit
Use System Manager 2.0 to create the first Vservers.
Use the WireGauge tool to verify that all the shelves are cabled correctly and switches are
properly connected.

Miscellaneous configuration

Status

Where necessary, confirm the network switches are configured to support dynamic or static
multi-mode IFGRPs (LACP or Etherchannel) as per customer requirement.
Has the customer accessed the system console using the RLM / BMC / SP?
Verify network connectivity and DNS resolution is configured properly:
cluster::>network ping -node <node name> –destination <hostname of DNS
server>
Verify configured IFGRPs with more than one port function properly by disconnecting one or
more cables
Confirm each node date and timezone is set correctly
cluster::>system node date show
cluster::>timezone
Display whether NTP is used in the cluster
cluster::>system services ntp config show
cluster::>system services ntp server show
Confirm that AutoSupport is configured and functioning correctly.
cluster::>system node autosupport show
Confirm that telnet and RSH is disabled and SSH is enabled
If required, confirm SNMP is configured on all controllers to the appropriate traphost
Download documentation pack and provide to customer

CIFS configuration (per Vserver servicing CIFS)
Check the export policy rules to ensure that the CIFS access protocol will allow access
cluster::>vserver export-policy rule show
If necessary, run through CIFS setup and join the controllers to the customer's Active Directory
(requires an AD account with suitable permissions).
Confirm the NetApp controller‘s local administrator account was created while configuring the
CIFS service (and the password is set appropriately).
Confirm the permissions to the root volume (c$) and /etc folder (etc$) are configured
appropriately (that is, NOT Everyone Full Control).
Confirm that appropriate Windows Domain Administrators group(s) are member of the cluster‘s
local administrator group.
Create a share.
Have the customer map the share to a host, write data to it.
Create a Snapshot and confirm that Snapshot visibility is configured appropriately (for example,
hidden to regular CIFS clients)
Confirm that qtrees storing CIFS data have the appropriate security style specified:
cluster::volume> qtree show –vserver <vserver> -volume <volume name> qtree <qtree name>
Confirm that qtrees storing CIFS data have the appropriate ‗oplocks‘ setting.
