Volume Clone/Lun Map Automation?

[gdekhayser]

Hello all-

I want to build a workflow that lets the user choose a filer->volume->snapshot, clone from that snap, and map the lun in that clone to an igroup on that filer with a pre-set LUN ID (say 15 or 16). 

I also want to build a reverse workflow that will take that flexcloned lun, UNMAP it, and then destroy the cloned volume.

Having trouble getting my head around how to do this.  BTW, this is on 7-mode.

Thanks for any advice/help.

Glenn

gdekhayser, is your solution shared somewhere?

I'm relevantly new for the NetApp and I'm afraid it's beyond my power to build a working solution.

thanks in advance for your reply.

Hey Glenn,

I've done a lot of schema work and I find MySQL Workbench very useful for prototyping queries and browsing the data. It's handy for performance tuning queries too if you have complex ones.

Either install it locally, or edit the mysql/my.ini on your WFA server and comment out the bind-address=localhost setting at the end and restart the DB to allow remote connections. Then connect using wfa/Wfa123. You can view data but you can't change data except for the playground database.

Hope that's useful!

Michael.

Care to share your Workflow... looking to do this same thing for a VMware datastore for setting up Test/Dev environments.  Short of pulling in the datastore into VMware, this will get me much closer.
