Limited Commands on netapp filers

SEENIKANNAN — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:07:24 GMT

I have netapp filers which has only following commands but using this will not able to find out what is the version of ONTAP version running on this.

I am logging in to the filers via root account.

Username is root

It seems to be a old system and I not able to find the commands

If you point me to the right direction it would be helpful.

? ipsec nis snap

cifs iscsi options snapmirror

The command to find the version is just "version"

Re: Limited Commands on netapp filers

SEENIKANNAN — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 14:53:46 GMT

if you see on the provided available commands "version" not found. It seems to be older systems not sure which ONTAP is running.

What's the model number of the controller?

You can also try running "sysconfig -v" That command has been around a long while.

Here's an example from a F330

even from the CLI am not able to find the model of the filer

also when i tried "sysconfig" with root, the error message says as below,

sysconfig not found. Type '?' for a list of commands

SpindleNinja — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 16:38:03 GMT

Re: Limited Commands on netapp filers

You, sir, were handed the blue pill. In other words, you were given root creds to a vfiler.

You can't escape the vfiler, so you'll need credentials and management ips for the hosting 7mode system to get at the version and sysconfig commands.

vfiler command set:

test7m> vfiler run vf1 ?

Actually I am not sure what are these?

Can you help me with the some good documents for better understanding

Re: Limited Commands on netapp filers

SeanHatfield — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 18:09:25 GMT

vFilers were part of the multistore feature, which provided secure multitenancy back in the 7mode days.

Here's a good place to start:

https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1222473/html/GUID-AC776453-E3CA-4509-BEAD-3DCDD8A46FCA.html

Then read through the multistore management guide:

How do we confirm running options command vfiler is configured?
