TASK 2: CONNECT TO THE COMMAND SHELL AND EXPLORE THE COMMAND HIERARCHY
STEP ACTION

1. Type a question mark (?) to review the commands and command directories at the top level of
the command hierarchy.
?
NOTE: You don’t need to press Enter after typing a question mark.

2. Review the objects in the storage command directory.

storage ?

3. From the command shell, review the top-level command directories.

?
NOTE: An entry that ends with a “right angle bracket” (>) symbol is a command directory
rather than a command. The structure resembles a UNIX or DOS shell in that you cannot
execute command directory names as you do commands, but you can navigate to command
directories. Command directories can contain subdirectories, commands, or both. Command
directories provide contextual and hierarchical grouping of commands; the command structure is
not flat.

4. Open the cluster directory.

cluster
NOTE: You can use the question mark at any level of the command hierarchy to see which
commands and directories are available within that context. Notice that the command shell
prompt changes to indicate which context you’re in.

5. Look at the available commands and directories at this level.

6. Open the statistics directory.

statistics
You’re now in the cluster statistics context.

7. See what is available at this level.

8. Go back (up) one level by typing two periods and then pressing the Enter key.
..

9. Notice that you’re back at the cluster directory level.

NOTE: From any level, you can enter top to go directly to the top of the entire command
hierarchy.

10. Examine the manual page for the storage command directory.
man storage

11. Enter q to exit the manual page.

E1-5 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Exploring Data ONTAP Storage Fundamentals

12. Examine the manual page for the storage aggregate directory and compare the output with
the output of the man storage command in the previous step.
man storage aggregate

13. Enter q to exit the manual page.

14. Examine the manual page for the storage aggregate create directory.
man storage aggregate create

15. Enter q to exit the manual page.

TASK 3: REVIEW COMMAND OPTIONS

STEP ACTION

1. Go to the storage aggregate directory level within the command shell.

storage aggr

2. From the storage aggregate level, run this command:

modify ?
NOTE: Square brackets ([]) indicate optional command elements. The output of this command
shows the parameter –aggregate with brackets around the parameter name but not around the
parameter value. This means that the parameter name is optional but the value is required. To
save keystrokes, you can enter the aggregate name as a positional parameter rather than a named
parameter. All other parameters and values are optional, but brackets surround both parameter
and value because, if you provide one, you must provide the other. (The value cannot be
specified based on position.)
In this case, the aggregate name is required to determine which aggregate will be modified.
Although the other parameters are technically optional, at least one of them should be specified
for this command to be meaningful (that is, to actually modify an attribute of this aggregate).

3. Review the options for the storage aggregate scrub command.

scrub ?
NOTE: As with the modify command, the aggregate name is required, but the parameter name
is optional. In addition, the action value is required, but the parameter name (–action) is
optional. These are two possible forms of the command:
 storage aggregate scrub –aggregate aggr0 –action start
 storage aggregate scrub aggr0 start

4. Review the possible keyword values for the –state parameter.

modify –state ?

TASK 4: COMPARE PRIVILEGE LEVELS
STEP ACTION

1. Look at the volume directory.

volume ?
The default privilege level is admin.

2. Notice the commands that are available in this directory context at this privilege level.

3. Switch to the advanced privilege level.

set –privilege advanced
NOTE: Because –privilege is an optional positional parameter of the set command, you
can also specify the desired privilege level as a positional parameter: set advanced.

4. While you are in the advanced privilege level, look again at the volume directory.
volume ?

5. Notice the additional commands that are available.

Each command and directory that is available for nonadmin privilege levels has an asterisk (*)
in front of its description.

6. Switch back to the admin privilege level.

set admin

TASK 5: USE PARTIAL COMMANDS AND COMPLETE COMMANDS WITH THE TAB KEY
STEP ACTION

1. Display the logical interfaces.

network interface show

2. Try the following command:

net int sho
The command fails because this form of the command is ambiguous. Multiple verbs in this
command hierarchy begin with the letters “sho.”

3. Retype the command using the full verb, show.

ne in show

4. Type the first two letters of the network command directory (ne) and press Tab.
If the substring that you type is unambiguous, when you press Tab, the command shell
completes the substring.

5. Continue the command by entering in and pressing Tab and then entering sho and pressing
Tab.
sho is ambiguous in the context. The command shell displays the options for sho.

6. This time, enter ne, press Tab, enter in, press Tab, and then enter show.

MODULE 4: STORAGE MANAGEMENT

EXERCISE 4: CREATING AND GROWING AN AGGREGATE

In this exercise, you use the CLI and NetApp OnCommand System Manager to create and add disks to an
aggregate. You also create flexible volumes.

OBJECTIVES
By the end of this exercise, you should be able to:
 Create an aggregate
 Add disks to an aggregate
 Create a flexible volume

TASK 1: CREATE A NEW AGGREGATE

STEP ACTION

1. Log in to cluster1 by using PuTTY.

2. From the command line, show the aggregates.

stor aggr show

3. Show the volumes.

volume show

4. View the disks that are attached to each node, noticing the disks that belong to aggregates and
the spare disks that are available to create additional aggregates.
storage disk show –owner cluster1-01
storage disk show –owner cluster1-02

5. Look at the usage information of the storage aggregate create command.

stor aggr create ?
NOTE: To help familiarize yourself with a command, you can type the command without
parameters, followed by a question mark (?).

6. Create an aggregate with the unique name n1_aggr1 (as an abbreviation of aggregate 1 on the
cluster1-01 node).
stor aggr create -aggr n1_aggr1 –node cluster1-01 –disktype
fcal -diskcount 5
NOTE: The aggregate will have the storage capacity of three disks. (Two of the disks are used
for parity for RAID-DP, which is the default RAID type.) This aggregate is only an example. In
a production environment, a RAID-DP aggregate of this size is a very inefficient use of disks.
Also, note that the –diskcount parameter cannot exceed the available number of spare disks.

7. Review the list of aggregates again.

stor aggr show

E4-1 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Storage Management

8. Review the details for the new aggregate, noticing that the new aggregate has a high-availability
(HA) policy of sfo.
stor aggr show –aggregate n1_aggr1

TASK 2: ADD DISKS TO THE AGGREGATE

STEP ACTION

1. Add two disks to the aggregate.

aggr add-disks -aggr n1_aggr1 -diskcount 2
The aggregate now has two parity disks and five data disks.

5. For now, leave the number of disks at 20.

E4-3 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Storage Management

6. For RAID Configuration, click Change.

7. Notice the RAID allocation. In a real-world environment, would this allocation be an efficient
use of disks?

8. Click the up and down arrows to adjust the RAID Group size to 20, then adjust it back down to
5. Observe the effect on how the disks are distributed in the RAID groups and how many parity
disks are used.

9. Return the RAID Group size to 16, then click Save.

E4-4 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Storage Management

10. Select seven disks for the new aggregate, leave RAID configuration as RAID-DP, and then click

MODULE 9: MANAGING STORAGE SPACE

EXERCISE 9: CONFIGURING ADVANCED VOLUME FEATURES

In this exercise, you create a volume so that you can learn about configuring storage efficiency.

OBJECTIVES
By the end of this exercise, you should be able to:
 Explore thin provisioning of volumes
 Enable deduplication and data compression
 Perform a volume move

TASK 1: EXPLORE THIN PROVISIONING AND STORAGE EFFICIENCY

In this task, you create two new aggregates on cluster1, enable svm1 to access them, create a new volume in
each of the new aggregates, thin provision a volume, and enable deduplication and compression.
STEP ACTION

1. Use NetApp OnCommand System Manager to create a new aggregate on cluster1 with these
parameters:
 Name: n1_aggr2
 Disk Type: FCAL on cluster1-01
 Number of disks: 5

E9-1 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

2. Create another new aggregate on cluster1 with these parameters:

 Name: n2_aggr2
 Disk Type: FCAL on cluster1-02
 Number of disks: 5

3. To give access to your new aggregates to svm1, select Storage Virtual Machines > cluster1,
select svm1, and click the Edit button.

E9-2 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

4. Click the Resource Allocation tab, select n1_aggr2 and n2_aggr2, and then click Save and
Close.

5. In System Manager, select Storage Virtual Machines > cluster1 > svm1 > Storage >
Volumes, and then click Create.

E9-3 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

6. In the Create Volume window, enter these volume attributes, and then click the Create button:
 Name: svm1_vol2
 Aggregate: n1_aggr2
 Total Size: 6 GB
 Snapshot Reserve: 0%
 Thin Provisioned checkbox: Not selected

E9-4 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

7. In the Create Volume window, enter these volume attributes to create a thin-provisioned
volume, and then click the Create button.
 Name: svm1_vol3
 Aggregate: n2_aggr2
 Total Size: 6 GB
 Snapshot Reserve: 0%
 Thin Provisioned checkbox: Selected

8. At the bottom of the Volumes page, click the Space Allocation tab.

9. Select each of the two new volumes and view the space allocation data in the lower pane.
Is there any difference between the two?

E9-5 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

10. Select Cluster > cluster1 and inspect the Storage report.

11. Consider these facts:

 Aggregates n1_aggr2 and n2_aggr2 are identical.
 Each aggregate contains one volume.
 Those two volumes are identical except that one is thin-provisioned, and the other isn’t.
 Neither volume contains user data.
With all that in mind, why is there a difference in the space utilization of the two aggregates?

12. Display the Namespace page to see where the new volumes were mounted.
Remember that System Manager automatically mounts new volumes at /<volname>.

13. Select the svm1_vol2 volume from the list, click Change Export Policy, and change the export
policy to exp_svm1.

14. Repeat the process for svm1_vol3.

15. Navigate to the Volumes page for svm1, select the volume svm1_vol2, and click Edit.

E9-6 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

16. In the Edit Volume window, on the General tab, give the Group and Others read, write, and
execute permissions, activate thin provisioning, and then click Save and Close.

17. From your Linux system, mount svm1_vol2.

mkdir /mnt/vol2/
mount –t nfs 192.168.0.60:/svm1_vol2 /mnt/vol2/

18. Create a 2-GB file on svm1_vol2.

The write operation can take five to ten minutes.
cd /mnt/vol2
dd if=/dev/zero of=hugefile bs=4K count=500000

E9-7 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

19. Notice that the size of svm1_vol2 is 6 GB and recall that the size of hugefile is 2 GB.
What percentage of the space available in svm1_vol2 is used?

20. Use System Manager to check space usage on the volume.

21. In System Manager, on the Shares page, click Create Share to create a CIFS share for the new
volume.

22. Select svm1_vol2 and click the Edit button.

23. Click the Storage Efficiency tab.

E9-8 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

24. To enable on-demand deduplication and data compression for this volume, select Enable
Storage Efficiency, On Demand, and Enable Compression, and then click Save and Close.

25. With svm1_vol2 still selected, click the Storage Efficiency button to run on-demand
deduplication.

E9-9 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

26. Select Scan Entire Volume, and then click the Start button.

27. Click the Storage Efficiency tab at the bottom of the page and review the storage efficiency
statistics.

28. After several minutes, return to this page and compare the statistics. In the meantime you can
continue with the next task.

E9-10 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

TASK 2: PERFORM A VOLUME MOVE

STEP ACTION

1. In System Manager, on cluster1, navigate to the list of aggregates on the cluster and notice that
n1_aggr1 has 14 GB of available space.

2. On your Linux system, mount svm1_vol3.

mkdir /mnt/vol3/
mount –t nfs 192.168.0.60:/svm1_vol3 /mnt/vol3/

3. Write a 2-GB file into volume svm1_vol3. The dd operation can take several minutes to
complete; continue to the next step while it runs.
cd /mnt/vol3
dd if=/dev/zero of=hugefile bs=4K count=500000

4. In the svm1 volume list, select svm1_vol3 and click the Move button to move volume
svm1_vol3 to another aggregate across the cluster interconnect.
NOTE: Moving the volume while the file “hugefile” is being written will not interrupt the write
operation.

E9-11 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Managing Storage Space

5. Select n1_aggr1 as the destination aggregate and click the Move button.

6. Click OK to acknowledge the job in progress.

7. Click the Refresh button to monitor the creation of the temporary file on the destination
aggregate and the progress of the move operation.

8. Check the Linux system to verify progress and the eventual completion of the write operation.

MODULE 10: DATA PROTECTION

EXERCISE 10: WORKING WITH SNAPMIRROR TECHNOLOGY

In this exercise, you create and initialize load-sharing and data-protection SnapMirror replications, add
volumes and files to a replicated namespace, schedule periodic SnapMirror replications, and promote a load-
sharing mirror.

OBJECTIVES
By the end of this exercise, you should be able to:
 Create and initialize load-sharing and data-protection SnapMirror replications
 Add volumes and files to a replicated namespace
 Schedule periodic SnapMirror replications
 Promote a load-sharing mirror

TASK 1: CREATE AND INITIALIZE SNAPMIRROR REPLICATIONS

STEP ACTION

1. Use PuTTY to log on to cluster1.

2. Create a mirror for the root volume of svm1 on the same aggregate as the root volume.
vol create -vserver svm1 -volume svm1_root_ls1 -aggregate n2_aggr1
-type dp
NOTE: Although this is a load-sharing mirror, it must be created as a data-protection mirror
volume and then changed.

3. Establish the mirror relationship between the source volume and the destination volume and
change the destination to a load-sharing mirror.
snapmirror create -source-cluster cluster1 -source-vserver
svm1 -source-volume svm1_root -destination-cluster
cluster1 -destination-vserver svm1 -destination-volume
svm1_root_ls1 -type ls

4. Create another load-sharing mirror of the same volume on the other node and establish the
mirror relationship with the same source.
vol create -vserver svm1 -vol svm1_root_ls2 -aggr n1_aggr1 -type dp
snapmirror create -source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root -destination-
path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_ls2 -type ls

5. Use a summary view and then an instance (detailed) view to view the mirrors.
snapmirror show
snapmirror show -instance
The state of each mirror is “Uninitialized.” No data has been transferred to the mirrors.

E10-1 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Data Protection

6. Perform the initial (baseline) replication to the set of load-sharing mirrors of this source volume.
snapmirror initialize-ls-set -source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root
snapmirror show
NOTE: Now that the first replication of the load-sharing mirrors has occurred, all requests that
are sent through existing NFS mounts or CIFS shares to the storage virtual machine (SVM) root
volume are transparently routed to one of the load-sharing mirrors of this SVM root volume
rather than to the read and write volume. This includes write requests, which will fail, because
mirrors are read-only.

7. Create two data-protection mirrors.

volume create –vserver svm1 -volume svm1_root_dp1 –aggr n1_aggr1 -type
dp
volume create –vserver svm1 -volume svm1_root_dp2 –aggr n2_aggr1 -type
dp

8. Establish the data-protection mirror relationships.

snapmirror create -source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root -destination-
path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_dp1 -type dp
snapmirror create -source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root -destination-
path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_dp2 -type dp
snapmirror show

9. Perform the initial (baseline) replication to one of the data-protection mirrors.

snapmirror initialize -source-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root -destination-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_dp1

10. View the volume Snapshot copies of the source volume.

volume snapshot show –vserver svm1 -volume svm1_root
NOTE: You see Snapshot copies that are named with a prefix of “snapmirror.” These Snapshot
copies are specifically for the mirrors and are kept so that future replications to the mirrors can
determine which data is new after the last replication. Two SnapMirror Snapshot copies of this
volume exist. One is for the set of two load-sharing mirrors. The other is for the data-protection
mirror.

11. Review the mirrors.

snapmirror show -inst
NOTE: The mirror root_dp1 has the state “Snapmirrored,” and the Mirror Timestamp field
shows the date and time of that replication. Because this is asynchronous mirroring, mirrors are
only as up to date as the manual replications or the scheduled replications keep them.

E10-2 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Data Protection

© 2015 NetApp, Inc. This material is intended only for training. Reproduction is not authorized.
TASK 2: COMPARE DATA-PROTECTION MIRROR REPLICATION TIMES
STEP ACTION

1. Replicate the data-protection mirror that has not been replicated.

snapmirror initialize -source-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root -destination-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_dp2

2. Review the mirrors.

snapmirror show -inst
The two data-protection mirrors have different replication times.

3. View the volume Snapshot copies of the source volume.

volume snapshot show -vserver svm1 -volume svm1_root
NOTE: Three SnapMirror Snapshot copies of this volume exist. They enable SnapMirror
software to perform incremental transfers to the mirrors of this source volume. One of these
SnapMirror Snapshot copies is for the set of two load-sharing mirrors. The other two are for the
two independent data-protection mirrors.

4. Replicate to both data-protection mirrors.

snapmirror update -source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root -destination-
path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_dp1
snapmirror update -source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root -destination-
path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_dp2

5. Review the mirrors.

snapmirror show -inst

6. Review the volume Snapshot copies of the source volume.

volume snapshot show -vserver svm1 -volume svm1_root
Three SnapMirror Snapshot copies of this volume still exist.

TASK 3: ADD VOLUMES AND FILES TO A REPLICATED NAMESPACE

STEP ACTION

1. On svm1, on the aggregate n2_aggr1, create a volume.

volume create -vserver svm1 -volume svm1_new -aggr
n2_aggr1 -junction-path /svm1new –policy exp_svm1

2. Access your Linux client.

E10-3 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Data Protection

3. Assuming that your data LIF is still mounted from that NFS client, view the root of your
namespace.
cd /mnt/svm1
ls
The new volume doesn’t appear in the file list. The new volume is in the namespace, but
because the requests for your SVM root volume are routed to one of its load-sharing mirrors,
you still see the contents of the root volume as of its last replication, which does not include the
junction for vs2_vol03.

4. From your clustershell, perform an incremental replication to the set of load-sharing mirrors of
the SVM root volume.
snapmirror update-ls-set -source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root

5. After the mirror jobs are finished, from your NFS client, review the mirror of the root of your
namespace.
ls /mnt/svm1
The junction for svm1new appears.

6. In the root of the namespace, create a file called “myfile.”

touch /mnt/svm1/myfile
Because the NFS client references one of the load-sharing mirrors, which is read-only, the file
creation fails. No writes can be made to a load-sharing mirror.

7. Using the special .admin path, mount (as “root”) your namespace.
mkdir /mnt/svm1rw
mount 192.168.0.60:/.admin /mnt/svm1rw
The .admin path forces your mount to use the source volume, which is read and write, rather
than allowing automatic routing to load-sharing mirrors.

8. In the read and write root of the namespace, create a file called “myfile.”
touch /mnt/svm1rw/myfile
ls /mnt/svm1rw/myfile
The new file should appear.

9. Using the “normal” path that is routed to the load-sharing mirrors, view the SVM root.
ls /mnt/svm1/myfile
Because the new file is on the read/write volume and the load-sharing mirrors have not been re-
replicated, the “myfile” file is not visible.

10. From your clustershell, perform an incremental replication to the set of load-sharing mirrors of
the SVM root volume.
snapmirror update-ls-set –source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root

E10-4 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Data Protection

11. From your NFS client, review the mirror of the root of your namespace.
ls /mnt/svm1/myfile
The file should appear.

TASK 4: SCHEDULE PERIODIC SNAPMIRROR REPLICATIONS

For this exercise, you use the 5-minute schedule for load-sharing mirrors and the hourly schedule for a data-
protection mirror.
NOTE: The schedule that you use for replication depends on the data that is contained in each volume and
the requirements of the particular mirror. Some volumes might not need to be replicated, although other
volumes do; for example, the data-protection mirrors don’t have to be synchronized as often as the load-
sharing mirrors. In a real-world situation, it might be sufficient to replicate to load-sharing mirrors hourly and
to data-protection mirrors daily.
STEP ACTION

1. View the schedules that were created by default.

job schedule show

2. Modify one of the load-sharing mirrors to use the 5-minute schedule.

snapmirror modify -destination-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_ls1 -schedule 5min

3. View the details of the load-sharing mirrors.

snapmirror show -destination-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_ls* -instance
snapmirror show -destination-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_ls* -fields
schedule

The SnapMirror schedule of each load-sharing mirror is now set to 5min.

4. Modify one of the data-protection mirrors to use the hourly schedule.

snapmirror modify -destination-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_dp1 -schedule hourly

5. View the details of the data-protection mirrors.

snapmirror show –fields schedule
NOTE: Only the schedule for the data-protection mirror that you explicitly modified is set to
use this schedule. Each data-protection mirror of a read and write volume is separate from the
other data-protection mirrors, except that they’re associated with the same read and write. They
can each have separate replication schedules, or one data-protection mirror can have a schedule
although another does not.

6. Check the time on a node.

system date show

E10-5 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Data Protection

7. While waiting for the scheduled mirror update to run, continue to run the system date show
command and watch for the system clock to reach a multiple of five, which triggers the
replication of all the load-sharing mirrors of this volume.
NOTE: After the system clock reaches the five-minute mark, the mirror update occurs but is not
visible, which means that no job is created for it.

8. To determine which mirrors were replicated, view the summary of the mirrors.
snapmirror show –instance
snapmirror show -fields newest-snapshot-timestamp

TASK 5: PROMOTE A LOAD-SHARING MIRROR

STEP ACTION

1. Examine the read and write copy of the SVM root volume and all its mirrors.
volume show -volume svm1_root*
The Type field shows the values RW, LS, and DP.

2. Promote one of the load-sharing mirrors.

snapmirror promote -source-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root -destination-path
cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_ls2

3. At the prompt to proceed, type y.

4. While the command runs in the foreground, wait for the command to finish.

5. Review this volume family.

volume show -volume svm1_root*
The old read and write volume (svm1_root) is gone, and the volume svm1_root_ls2 has the type
RW. The name of the volume didn’t change, but it is the read and write volume now, and all the
mirrors replicate from that volume.

6. Review the SnapMirror relationships.

snapmirror show
Only one load-sharing mirror (svm1_root_ls1) exists.

7. From the newly appointed read/write volume, replicate everything again.

snapmirror update-ls-set –source-path cluster1://svm1/svm1_root_ls2

8. Rename the new svm1 root volume to svm1_root.

vol rename -vserver svm1 -volume svm1_root_ls2 -newname svm1_root

6. Under Global Access Specifications, select 4k; 50% Read; 0% random.

7. Click the Add button.

8. Click the Test Setup tab.

E10-9 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Data Protection

9. On the Test Setup tab, specify the following:

 Test Description: QoS Share Test
 Ramp Up Time: 4 seconds
 Record Results: None

10. Click the Results Display tab.

E10-10 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Data Protection

11. Change the Update Frequency to 4 seconds.

This frequency reduces the load on the Windows machine to update the Iometer interface.

12. On the toolbar, click the Start Tests button (a green flag).

E10-11 Clustered Data ONTAP Administration: Data Protection

13. Open File Explorer to the Q drive and notice a new file, iobw.tst.
This is the test file that is growing until it is 80,000 KB (20,000 x 4 KB).

14. Leave the process running.
