Cluster Mode Login Banner

mikecalwell2 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:10:56 GMT

How do you create a login banner for Data ONTAP 8 Cluster Mode? In 7-mode, you simply edited a file in the /etc dir. I cannot find any docs on how to do this in cluster mode.

"This system is restricted. Don't login or we'll pummel you with Donuts". I want to add something similar to this when someone attempts to SSH to our cluster.

Thanks,

Mike

I've been wondering the same thing, I can't find any documentation on how to do this.

Also interested in this feature, but have found no way to implement yet.

I just talk to NetApp support about this. They have logged a bug/feature request. The information is below.
