EXERCISE 1: VERIFY EXERCISE ENVIRONMENT
In this exercise, you familiarize yourself with your equipment.
OBJECTIVES
This exercise focuses on enabling you to do the following:
 Ensure connectivity to the ONTAP cluster
 Ensure connectivity to the Linux server
EXERCISE EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM
Your exercise environment contains the following virtual machines (VMs):
 One Windows 2012 R2 Server system
 One CentOS Linux 6.5 Server system
 One ONTAP 9 two-node cluster (cluster1)

To connect to the Windows Server jump-host, use the instructions provided on the lab portal. From this
Windows desktop, you connect to the other servers in your exercise environment.

TASK 1: ENSURE CONNECTIVITY TO YOUR ONTAP CLUSTER
In this task, you familiarize yourself with the Windows Server desktop. You ensure connectivity to and verify
the health of the ONTAP cluster and Linux server.
STEP ACTION
On your Windows Server, minimize the Windows Server Manager Dashboard (if it is open), and
1.
then click the Desktop tile.

To connect to the ONTAP cluster UI, browse to the NetApp OnCommand System
2.
Manager URL, which is built in to ONTAP 9. (NetApp OnCommand System Manager
is introduced in the next module).
To connect to the CLI of the ONTAP cluster, you use PuTTY. PuTTY is a UI for the Telnet and
Secure Shell (SSH) protocols.
On the desktop, double-click the putty icon.
3.

You can connect to cluster1 through the cluster1_mgmt cluster-management logical
4.
interface (LIF). You can also connect through the cluster1-01_mgmt and cluster1-
02_mgmt node-management LIFs.

STEP ACTION
At the ONTAP cluster login prompt, provide the cluster1 credentials:
7.
 login as: admin
 Password: Netapp123
The ONTAP cluster CLI prompt and cursor appear:

8. If you have any difficulty logging in to the ONTAP cluster CLI, refer to this table.
Ensure that you are using the correct user name and password in the correct case (both
are case-sensitive).

List the nodes of the ONTAP cluster and verify that the nodes are healthy and eligible:
9.
cluster1::> cluster show
Sample output:
Node Health Eligibility
--------------------- ------- ------------
cluster1-01 true true
cluster1-02 true true
2 entries were displayed.
List the version of ONTAP that is running on each node:
10.
cluster1::> version -node *
Sample output:

cluster1-01:
NetApp Release 9.0RC2: Tue Jul 26 08:55:23 UTC 2016

cluster1-02:
NetApp Release 9.0RC2: Tue Jul 26 08:55:23 UTC 2016

EXERCISE 2: CLUSTER COMPONENTS
In this exercise, you use the CLI to identify components in a two-node ONTAP cluster.
OBJECTIVES
This exercise focuses on enabling you to do the following:
 Identify the components and resources that make up a cluster
 Describe the physical storage components
EXERCISE EQUIPMENT DIAGRAM
Your exercise environment contains the following virtual machines (VMs):
 One Windows 2012 R2 Server system
 One ONTAP 9 two-node cluster (cluster1)

To connect to the Windows Server jump-host, use the connection information that the instructor assigned to
you. From the Windows desktop, you connect to the other servers in your exercise environment.
