ntap_symlink -- Adam Fox, NetApp

NOTE:  This is not an official tool of NetApp and is not supported by NetApp Global Services.
It is provided as-is with best effort support provided by me.  (adamfox@netapp.com).

Usage:  ntap_symlink [-l user] controller path link_name

-l user: Allows the user to specify a user other than root

controller:  The name or IP of the NetApp Controller

path: A full path of the destination of the link

link_name: A full path name of the name of the link.

(Note:  The -h option doesn't seem to work consistently so at this time is unsupported).

Example:

I want to create a symlink to /vol/vol0/etc named 'foolink' in /vol/vol0 on controller 'mojito'

unix> ./ntap_symlink.pl mojito /vol/vol0/etc /vol/vol0/foolink

Enter the password for user root:

unix> ls -l

drwxr-xr-x 32 root root 16384 2010-02-03 17:27 etc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    13 2010-02-03 17:33 foolink -> /vol/vol0/etc

There is a Windows binary for those Windows users who do not have Perl.
