How do I create and access the Etc. folder for each node in a cluster?

You cannot access ETC directory from the network.

In some cases you might be asked by support to turn the "diag" account on and log into the "systemshell", which is basically the low level BSD shell for a node, and from here access or copy different files out, but you can't go in from the outside.

You used to access the etc. folder for doing OnTap upgrades by dropping files in etc. folder. This has changed in cluster OnTap then?
