Automated ONTAP configuration check and diff

SCL — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 16:01:53 GMT

Hi,

I am looking for a way ascertain config changes to SVMs, Volumes, LIFs, Shares, Service Policy, Fpolicy, LDAP settings, CIFS security settings, etc -- i.e., the kitchen sink or as close to that as possible.

Any suggestions on how to do that?

TIA!

Ansible worked for me well in one project… but, it was a lot of work - with very little return, and it made me a single point of failure (as engineers and support people struggled with it).
I shared an old script before to enforce standards https://github.com/MGidi/NetAppCdotBestPracticeReportForNAS.
I evolved it in a few places, and had some scripts to create different objects in a standard way (e.g qtree, quota, share, DFS mount, AD groups, NTFS ACL etc..)
