There are certain prerequisites. Looks like you will need to setup admin password.

Prerequisites as mentioned in the blogpost below:

1) The latest NetApp PowerShell Toolkit (4.3) has been installed
2) Node setup has been run on each node
3) The same admin password has been assigned to each node (security login password)
4) ONTAP 9.1 GA release (but this should work with 8.3 and higher)
5) A cluster base license is required

Hi Ontapforrum

How to setup the node ?

becasue the cluster setup command will config both the node and cluster,

but I don't find any method to confing the node only
or I need separate config each parameter ? just like node name,node ip,.......?

Thanks

in step 2,I want to config node
so use security login command to config admin password of node
the ip address is get from DHCP
but when I use connect-nccontroller command

Connect-NcController 20.1.1.2 -Credential(Credential)

it show the error

Connect-NcController : Could not connect to 20.1.1.2 on port 80 for protocol HTTP.

Bydefault, http (80) is disabled. Try -https instead. If you want try http, then you will need to first enable it.
