Data ONTAP Basic Command Please?

[MAXSVEN2001]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to Data ONTAP OS and I have been playing around with the sims for a couple of months.

I had a look at the "Manual Page Reference, Volume 1 and 2" but there are basic linux style commands that I still can't find...

baisically, I'm looking for commands to :

1- "cd" change directory

2- "ls" ls files/directories

3- "cp" copy files from one directory to another

4- "mkdir" make new directory.

5- "ps" list running processes

6- "kill" kill a process.

7- piping and "grep" for a string. ex: ps | grep -i "string"

8- pwd "print workjing directory".

if someone can just include the Data ONTAP command for 1 to 8 I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks.

Max.

Hi,

Please have a look at the file I've attached, it helped me a lot when started with OnTAP.

Few commands you specified will work using the following commands:

priv set advanced

java netapp.cmds.jsh - Which take you a prompt where you can run the linux commands.

thank you,

very helpful thanks a heap!

however, it does not contain any commands for what i'm after...

[MAXSVEN2001]

this is exactly what I needed in terms of the commands however, it looks like I won't be able to use this prompt and still run normal ONTAP commands (ex: sysconfig)...

would you know what commands are equivalent to the ones I'm after in the normal or priv set ONTAP prompts?

Thanks for this very handy answer...

still however no mention of any command that would achieve what i'm looking for...

[SNETAPPUSER · Accepted solution]

Those commands are available in advance mode & in diag mode. However, you should not use those mode unless it is necessary. Those modes ususally use by NetApp technical support team or NetApp PSE.

Antway, if you wanna try out (in sim may be), type 'priv set advanced' to go to advanved mode. There u can do ls, mv etc. Type 'useradmin diaguser unlock' to unlock diag user then type 'useradmin diaguser password' to set a password to diag user. Then type 'systemshell'. Username 'diag' password is your diag password.

DONT GO TO DIAG MODE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

[MAXSVEN2001]

this answers my question... thanks a heap!

it looks like in this mode after i login with the diag user, the normal ONTAP management commands do not work... such as "vol", "sysconfig"... etc..

i wish i could find a document that would tell me the set of commands that you can run in each different mode..

would you know how I can pipe an output of a comman to a txt file in "normal mode"?

for example, i need to run "sysconfig -r" and save the output to a txt file that I can then CIFS to and read...

[SNETAPPUSER]

Your best bet will be non-interactive SSH / RSH session from *nix (linux, unix etc.) machine. For an example,

helios@athena ~
$ ssh root@10.1.1.60 vol status
root@10.1.1.60's password:
         Volume State           Status            Options
           vol0 online          raid0, flex       root, no_atime_update=on,
                                                  create_ucode=on,
                                                  convert_ucode=on,
                                                  maxdirsize=2621
helios@athena ~

Above is prompting for password because I am not using public key authentication. However, if you do so then, it won't ask for the password; quite helpful in scripts.

Just wanna add another example which uses RSH instead of SSH (again quite handy in scripts)

helios@athena ~
$ rsh -l root:your-password-here 10.1.1.70 aggr status
           Aggr State           Status            Options
          aggr0 online          raid0, aggr       root
helios@athena ~

Hope this helps..

Hi,

It would be great to have the ability in Normal Mode or at least in Advanced Mode to have tail, grep and pipe to file for troubleshooting and checking the logs.

I think rdfile should have the ability to perform these actions.

filer01>rdfile tail -f /etc/messages

filer01>rdfile /etc/messages |grep error

Unless I am missing pages in the ONTAP manual it is not a feature.

Cheers

Jeff

Dear Sir,

This is Vinit, Very good list of net app commands.

Sir, want to know how do we use net app simulator, can you provide any guide for a fresher.

Thanks & Regards,

Vinit pandey

[peter_lehmann]

piping, greping ... I always do this from the system I am administering the NetApp from (unix or windows)...

Like   already mentioned in his answer, there is a secure option (SSH) or insecure (RSH). With windows, just use plink.exe and then | findstr to get what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

Peter

PS I would NEVER use the diaguser/diagmode to do this stuff...

[sat]

in diag systemshell mkdir is not working

mkdir: /etc/software: Read-only file system

[chidam]

Its very good sir !!
