Of course... many hundreds of them, in fact. And as a 20-year UNIX engineer, this is far from a problematic maneuver. But the difiiculty or lack thereof in setting up a CIFS share or an NFS export is not the issue. Any low-rent administrator can do these things. I just want some non-license dependent consistency. As an administrator, there should be standard methods to accomplish all of your configuration and administration tasks that are not specifically related to a licensed function (get this...) *without needing a licensed function*
I suppose the point is this, and please forgive me for being snide... I find it lacking in NetApp's attention to ease of administration that such a simple operation as enabling key-exchange authentication has to be written up as:
"Step 1 - Make /etc/sshd/root/.ssh/authorized-keys:
IF this filer is licensed for CIFS ( use the "license" command or "cifs stat" to determine this, or you know, whatever...), then do blah blah blah
OR
IF this filer is licensed for NFS (use the "license" command or "exportfs" to determine this, or, again, whatever...), then do the other blah blah blah
OR
IF you are only licensed for FCP, then, well, I can't help you... "
NetApp has spent a LOT of time and development effort trying to shake the workgroup-level or small-business-level appliance status and present themselves as a provider of enterprise-class storage software and platforms. Making simple tasks inconsistent and confusing is a great way to discredit that assertion. If only the attention to ease of administration matched the level of customer support that I have had the pleasure of receiving, then they would be much more believable as a legit Enterprise player.
