The wizard now requires the password for the admin account.Īnd re-type to confirm the admin password. “Create” is the command to type in.Īnd confirm this Node will be part of the Cluster with a “yes”. In this instance this will work as single Node Cluster. By pressing “Enter” allows to continue the wizard using the command line.įirst step is to create the Cluster. For some reason the button to start the web based wizard was not working so carried on with the more efficient command line. Ideally it is possible to point with a web browser to this IP and run the wizard to create the Cluster and associate the first Node to it. Same applies for Subnet mask and Gateway.Īt this point the Management Interface for the first Node is created. Next step is to confirm the Network settings to use starting from the IP address. Each Node is configured with 4 network cards: e0a, e0b, e0c, e0d. Next question is to accept the default network card interface to associate to this first Node Management. First question is about the AutoSupport option. Part of the functionalities are preinstalled but it is necessary to clean the configuration and initialize all disks with option “4”.Īt the prompt to zero disks and reset configuration let’s proceed with a “y” and confirm again “y”.Īt this point the wizard wipes the configuration for the NetApp Filer.
#Nes app switch install
Upon the first boot the “CTRL” command brings the main install menu where to run the main install wizard. Install NetApp ONTAP Sim on VMware vSphereĪfter deploying NetApp ONTAP Sim OVA everything is ready to power on the appliance and start the procedure to install NetApp ONTAP Simulator first Cluster and Node. This should be enough to cover different testing scenarios configuring disks as separate aggregates covering: This is also the limit supported on each NetApp ONTAP Simulator Node. Disk size is created at 4 GB which provides a 224 GB of usable storage space. It is worth noting the built-in setup installer generates the emulated drives in the disk shelves. Other Nodes can be added later on in case the install should move from a single Node Cluster to multiple Nodes. From install NetAPP ONTAP point of view Cluster and first Node names are essentials. So having this one in place it comes handy. This way it would be possible to create an environment to test many other features included in the license for Storage Replication like NetApp SnapMirror, SnapVault, FlexClones and more.īefore proceeding, it is recommended to put down on paper and pre-create the DNS entries for:Īs expected the NetApp ONTAP system heavily relies on DNS configuration. A second node will be installed as part of a different Cluster.
#Nes app switch how to
In this case the installation will cover how to install NetApp ONTAP Cluster and first node.

Enough to test the High Availability scenarios. Each NetApp ONTAP Simulator allows two nodes per cluster in the free license. Primarily based on command line the NetApp ONTAP appliance based on FreeBSD runs a simple script which guides the admin to the essential steps for the install.Įxactly the same steps can be executed to install NetApp ONTAP cluster and subsequently by additional nodes which will be part of the same cluster. The process to install NetApp ONTAP Simulator comes after the first virtual appliance deployment.
