The Shelf Alternate Control Path Management process provides the ability to recover from certain SAS shelf module failures and provides a level of availability that is higher than systems not using the Alternate Control Path Management process.
Do you want to configure the Shelf Alternate Control Path Management interface for SAS shelves [n]: 5. Now, lets reboot the storage system to make our changes take effect. NOTE: Because we only added the admin host setting, we dont really need to reboot. If this was a production storage system, you might make the change take effect without rebooting by using the source command. system> reboot The setup command automatically updates the following files: /etc/exports allowing the admin host to mount the root volume. /etc/hosts.equiv allowing the admin host to be trusted on the storage system (allows rsh commands). /etc/hosts allowing IP resolution of the admin host. options admin.host which displays the name of the admin host that was provided during the setup command. If volumes are automatically exported (a feature described later in the course), this setting determines who should receive access to the server-generated export. We will now explore these changes. 6. After the reboot, log in to your storage system. What volumes exist on your storage system? ______________________ Which command did you use to discover the volumes?_______________
E3-6
STEP ACTION
7.
List the content of the /etc/exports file in the space provided: HINT: There is a command-line interface command, but you might be able to do it another way. If you issued a command-line interface command, what command did you run?_____________ How do you list what exports are presently in memory? __________________ Remember this file was populated during the storage systems setup.
8.
Record the IP address and hostname for each entry in the /etc/hosts file as follows: Host1: IP Address:
9.
List the content of the /etc/rc file in the space provided: HINT: Again, there might be more than one way to accomplish this. The /etc/rc file sets up interfaces and loads exports, as well as other configurations, during boot up of the storage system. You modify the /etc/rc file by running setup but you can modify it directly. The /etc/rc file is only executed at boot up. To execute any modification to the /etc/rc, use the source command. system> source /etc/rc This executed the /etc/rc file again. To learn more about the source command, see the manual (man) page. system> man source

TASK 6: EXPORT TO A NETGROUP
In this task, you will identify targets and resources, create the /etc/netgroup file, create the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, and verify content of the /etc/rmtab and /etc/hosts files.
STEP ACTION
1.
Verify the existence of the netgroup file from the host with the ls command or from the storage system with the rdfile command. From the admin host: # cd /mnt/<system>/vol0/etc # ls l net* # more netgroup From the storage system: system> rdfile /etc/netgroup Does the file exist? ________________________________________ If no, what error message did you receive? ______________________ NOTE: If it doesnt exist, we will have to create it.
E4-9
STEP ACTION
2.
Use a UNIX or LINUX host or the wrfile command to create three groups. The groups are: trustedhosts, untrustedhosts, and allhosts. Add your assigned UNIX admin host to the trustedhost group and create other dummy hosts for the untrustedhosts. Place the trustedhosts and untrustedhosts in the allhosts folder. See the WRFILE METHOD below for an example. VI METHOD: From the UNIX host: # cd /mnt/<system>/vol0/etc # vi netgroup Use the WRFILE METHOD for the correct data. WRFILE METHOD From the storage system command-line interface, use the wrfile command to create the netgroup file. system> wrfile /etc/netgroup Enter the following netgroups: trustedhosts (adminhost,,) (name_of_your_station,,) untrustedhosts (host1,,) (host2,,) allhosts trustedhosts untrustedhosts (Make sure to press Enter after the last line.)

E10-2
STEP ACTION
4.
Before configuring your storage system for multiprotocol access, perform the following from your Windows Server: a) Create a share on the storage system called ntfsshare (for your ntfstree qtree on NASvol) and map a network drive to the share. b) Create a share on the storage system called unixshare (for your unixtree qtree on NASvol) and map a network drive to the share. c) Create a share on the storage system called mixedshare (for your mixedtree qtree on NASvol) and map a network drive to the share. NOTE: You might need to disconnect all map drives, log out, and log back in to the Windows machine to clear the security cache. Windows does not allow you to map two separate shares with different security accounts.
5.
At the storage system prompt, view the current default security style by entering the following command: system> options wafl.default_security_style What is the current default security style? ______________________
6.

On the Windows Server, open Windows Explorer, go to the mapped network drive for ntfsshare, and view the security of the ntfsshare by performing the following: a) From Windows Explorer, click on Computers within the left pane. You should see a list of your local and mapped drives. b) Right-click the drive that is mapped to ntfsshare and choose Properties. c) Click the Security tab. Who has access to the qtree, and what are the NTFS permissions on the file system? ___________________________________________________________ d) Click the Cancel button. e) Double-click the ntfsshare in the console tree to view the contents of the share. f) Create a new text file in this share by right-clicking in the right windowpane and choosing New > Text Document. g) Right-click the previously created text file and choose Properties. h) Click the Security tab. Who has access to the file and what are the file permissions? _______________________________________________ i) Click the Cancel button. Recall that the ntfstree qtree has a designated security style of NTFS. This means that files have Windows NTFS ACLs (permissions).
E10-4
STEP ACTION
8.
On the Windows workstation, open Windows Explorer, go to the mapped network drive for the unixshare share, and view the security of the unixshare by performing the following: a) From Windows Explorer, click on Computers within the left pane.

Is there a Security tab? ________________________ c) Click the Cancel button. d) Double-click the unixshare in the console tree to view the contents of the share. e) Create a new text file in this share by right-clicking in the right windowpane and choosing New > Text Document. f) Right-click the New Text Document.txt file and choose Properties. Is there a Security tab? ________________________ g) Click the Cancel button. Recall that the unixtree qtree has a designated security style of UNIX, and that files and directories have UNIX permissions. You are a Windows user accessing a UNIX qtree and a UNIX file. The Properties window (in Microsoft Windows) is not designed to interpret the UNIX permissions on the share and file and hence the Security tabs are missing. However, starting with Data ONTAP 7.2, changes have been made to the multiprotocol functionality. Now administrators can both display and change UNIX permissions from the Windows Security tab. You will set this in step 10 of this lab.
E10-5

Who has access to the file, and what are the file permissions? _______________________________________________ i) Click the Cancel button. Recall that the mixedtree qtree has a designated security style of mixed. This means that the default security style of a file is the style most recently used to set permission on that file. With mixed security style, the volume or qtree can have UNIX or NTFS file security in play. Because the mixedtree qtree was created when the storage system was multiprotocol mode, the mixed qtree initially inherited the effective security style of the parent volume.
10.
To view the UNIX permissions on the files in this multiprotocol environment, enter the following option at the storage system prompt: system> options cifs.preserve_unix_security on Enabling this option allows you to manipulate a files UNIX permissions using the Security tab on a Windows client, or using any application that can query or set Windows ACLs.

NOTE: This task will only be completed if you are managing the destination storage system within the SnapMirror relationship.
STEP ACTION
1.
To reinstate the original SnapMirror relationship, you have to resync it, but this time you will issue the command from the destination storage system. destination> snapmirror resync S src_hostname:vol3 dst_hostname:vol3 Answer yes or y when prompted to confirm the command.
2. 3.
Verify that the Dataset2 directory is present in the destination volume. You can check that the original relationship was successfully reinstated by triggering a manual update. But first, copy the Dataset3 directory into the source volume. After the manual update, we will verify whether Dataset3 was mirrored to the destination volume. Trigger a SnapMirror update from the destination volume: destination> snapmirror update vol3 Check that the Dataset3 directory is present in the destination volume vol3.
4.
Task complete.
TASK 8: CONFIGURE SYNCHRONOUS SNAPMIRROR In this task, you will change your asynchronous SnapMirror configuration to a synchronous configuration.
STEP ACTION
1.
License SnapMirror for synchronous replication on the source and the destination storage systems. source> license add <code> destination> license add <code>
2. 3.
Delete the Dataset3 directory on the source volume. Edit the existing snapmirror.conf file and modify the schedule field as follows: src_hostname:vol3 dst_hostname:vol3 sync
4.
Use the snapmirror status command to ensure that the relationship is in sync.
E23-7
STEP ACTION
5.
Is the Dataset3 directory present in the destination volume? ______________________________________________________
6.
On the destination, edit the snapmirror.conf file and comment out, with a pound sign (#), the entry: src_hostname:vol3 dst_hostname:vol3 sync HINT: You can map C$ to edit this file.
7.
Review the history of the SnapMirror operations you performed reading from the SnapMirror log file. HINT: Use the rdfile /etc/log/snapmirror command. What is the state of the SnapMirror relationship? __________________________ Hint: Use the snapmirror status command. Does the relationship ever transition into synchronous SnapMirror? __________ NOTE: Depending on your exercise environment, this transition may not occur. Verify that your exercise environment supports a synchronous SnapMirror environment.
