NetApp Commandline Cheatsheet

Server operations:

Startup and Shutdown
Boot Menu	1) Normal Boot. 2) Boot without /etc/rc. 3) Change password. 4) Clean configuration and initialize all disks. 5) Maintenance mode boot. 6) Update flash from backup config. 7) Install new software first. 8) Reboot node. Selection (1-8)? Normal Boot - continue with the normal boot operation Boot without /etc/rc - boot with only default options and disable some services Change Password - change the storage systems password Clean configuration and initialize all disks - cleans all disks and reset the filer to factory default settings Maintenance mode boot - file system operations are disabled, limited set of commands Update flash from backup config - restore the configuration information if corrupted on the boot device Install new software first - use this if the filer does not include support for the storage array Reboot node - restart the filer
startup modes	boot_ontap - boots the current Data ONTAP software release stored on the boot device boot primary - boots the Data ONTAP release stored on the boot device as the primary kernel boot_backup - boots the backup Data ONTAP release from the boot device boot_diags - boots a Data ONTAP diagnostic kernel Note: there are other options but NetApp will provide these as when necessary
shutdown	halt [-t <mins>] [-f] -t = shutdown after minutes specified -f = used with HA clustering, means that the partner filer does not take over
restart	reboot [-t <mins>] [-s] [-r] [-f] -t = reboot in specified minutes -s = clean reboot but also power cycle the filer (like pushing the off button) -r = bypasses the shutdown (not clean) and power cycles the filer -f = used with HA clustering, means that the partner filer does not take over
System Privilege and System shell
Privilege	priv set [-q] [admin \| advanced] Note: by default you are in administrative mode -q = quiet suppresses warning messages
Access the systemshell	## First obtain the advanced privileges priv set advanced ## Then unlock and reset the diag users password useradmin diaguser unlock useradmin diaguser password ## Now you should be able to access the systemshell and use all the standard Unix ## commands systemshell login: diag password: ********
Licensing and Version
licenses (commandline)	## display licenses license ## Adding a license license add <code1> <code2> ## Disabling a license license delete <service>
Data ONTAP version	version [-b] -b = include name and version information for the primary, secondary and diagnostic kernels and the firmware
Useful Commands

Storage operations:

Storage Commands
Display	storage show adapter storage show disk [-a\|-x\|-p\|-T] storage show expander storage show fabric storage show fault storage show hub storage show initiators storage show mc storage show port storage show shelf storage show switch storage show tape [supported] storage show acp storage array show storage array show-ports storage array show-luns storage array show-config
Enable	storage enable adapter

Rename switch	storage rename <oldname> <newname>
Remove port	storage array remove-port <array_name> -p <WWPN>
Load Balance	storage load balance
Power Cycle	storage power_cycle shelf -h storage power_cycle shelf start -c <channel name> storage power_cycle shelf completed

Disk operations:

Disk Information
Disk name	This is the physical disk itself, normally the disk will reside in a disk enclosure, the disk will have a pathname like 2a.17 depending on the type of disk enclosure 2a = SCSI adapter 17 = disk SCSI ID Any disks that are classed as spare will be used in any group to replace failed disks. They can also be assigned to any aggregate. Disks are assigned to a specific pool.
Disk Types
Data	holds data stored within the RAID group
Spare	Does not hold usable data but is available to be added to a RAID group in an aggregate, also known as a hot spare
Parity	Store data reconstruction information within the RAID group
dParity	Stores double-parity information within the RAID group, if RAID-DP is enabled
Disk Commands
Display	disk show disk show <disk_name> disk_list sysconfig -r sysconfig -d ## list all unnassigned/assigned disks disk show -n disk show -a
Adding (assigning)	## Add a specific disk to pool1 the mirror pool disk assign <disk_name> -p 1 ## Assign all disk to pool 0, by default they are assigned to pool 0 if the "-p" ## option is not specififed disk assign all -p 0
Remove (spin down disk)	disk remove <disk_name>
Reassign	disk reassign -d <new_sysid>
Replace	disk replace start <disk_name> <spare_disk_name> disk replace stop <disk_name> Note: uses Rapid RAID Recovery to copy data from the specified file system to the specified spare disk, you can stop this process using the stop command
Zero spare disks	disk zero spares
fail a disk	disk fail <disk_name>
Scrub a disk	disk scrub start disk scrub stop
Sanitize	disk sanitize start <disk list> disk sanitize abort <disk_list> disk sanitize status disk sanitize release <disk_list> Note: the release modifies the state of the disk from sanitize to spare. Sanitize requires a license.
Maintanence	disk maint start -d <disk_list> disk maint abort <disk_list> disk maint list disk maint status Note: you can test the disk using maintain mode
swap a disk	disk swap disk unswap Note: it stalls all SCSI I/O until you physically replace or add a disk, can used on SCSI disk only.
Statisics	disk_stat <disk_name>
Simulate a pulled disk	disk simpull <disk_name>
Simulate a pushed disk	disk simpush -l disk simpush <complete path of disk obtained from above command> ## Example ontap1> disk simpush -l The following pulled disks are available for pushing: v0.16:NETAPP__:VD-1000MB-FZ-520:14161400:2104448 ontap1> disk simpush v0.16:NETAPP__:VD-1000MB-FZ-520:14161400:2104448
