Understanding System Manager

System Manager is a graphical management interface that enables you to manage storage systems
and storage objects (such as disks, volumes, and aggregates) and perform common management tasks
related to storage systems from a web browser. As a cluster administrator, you can use System
Manager to administer the entire cluster and its resources.
System Manager enables you to perform many common tasks such as the following:

• Configure and manage storage objects, such as disks, aggregates, volumes, qtrees, and quotas.

• Configure protocols, such as CIFS and NFS, and provision file sharing.

• Configure protocols such as FC, FCoE, and iSCSI for block access.

• Verify and configure network configuration settings in the storage systems.

• Set up and manage mirroring and vaulting relationships.

• Perform cluster management, storage node management, and Storage Virtual Machine (SVM,
formerly known as Vserver) management operations.

• Create and configure SVMs, manage storage objects associated with SVMs, and manage SVM
services.

• Monitor and manage HA configurations in a cluster.

Supported versions of Data ONTAP

You should be aware of the Data ONTAP versions that are supported by System Manager.
For storage systems running clustered Data ONTAP, System Manager supports the following
versions:

• Data ONTAP 8.1.3 and 8.1.4

• Data ONTAP 8.2.1, 8.2.2, 8.2.3, and 8.2.4

Starting with clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.2, support for Federal Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) 140-2 is available for secure web services (HTTPS). However, System Manager does not
support FIPS. Therefore, you cannot manage FIPS-enabled clusters.

• Data ONTAP 8.3.x

When you use System Manager 3.1.3 to manage clusters running Data ONTAP 8.3 or later, the
corresponding version of System Manager is launched to manage these clusters.

Note: Data ONTAP 8.2.5 does not include the Cluster-Mode version.

For storage systems running Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, System Manager supports the
following versions:

• Data ONTAP 7.3.7

• Data ONTAP 8.0.4 and 8.0.5

You must enable HTTP on the storage system when using System Manager to manage the Data
ONTAP 8.0.x release family. You cannot use a secure communication protocol to manage your
storage systems.

• Data ONTAP 8.1.3 and 8.1.4

 Understanding System Manager | 5

• Data ONTAP 8.2.1, 8.2.2, 8.2.3, 8.2.4, and 8.2.5

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 2.0 and 3.0 versions are no longer supported. If you want to manage
Data ONTAP 7.3.x, 8.1.x, and 8.2.x using a secure communication protocol, you must verify that the
Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is enabled on the storage system.
Note: ONTAP 8.3 and later do not include a 7-Mode version.

For more information, see the Data ONTAP System Administration Guide for 7-Mode.

Support for multiple languages

System Manager supports the display of UI text in multiple languages.
The languages supported are as follows:

• English (en)

• Japanese (ja)

• Simplified Chinese (zh-cn)

The default language is the language derived from the locale of the operating system. Therefore, the
System Manager installer reads the system locale from the host operating system. If the system locale
is not supported, then the default language used is English.

Ports used by System Manager

System Manager uses specific ports when it accesses the storage system by using management
protocols such as HTTPS, HTTP, and SNMP.
System Manager uses the following ports to communicate with the storage systems:

• Port TCP/443 for HTTPS

• Port TCP/80 for HTTP

• Port UDP/161 for SNMP

It is best to use HTTPS for secure communication with the storage system. You must enable SSL on
your storage system to allow administrative requests over HTTPS to succeed. For storage systems
running clustered Data ONTAP 8.1 or later, if SSL is not enabled, you have to enable SSL from the
command-line interface (CLI).
System Manager does not allow you to specify a port range to start the Jetty Web server. System
Manager either allows you to select a specific port or automatically selects the port. If you manually
specify the port, you can start only one instance of System Manager. Running a single instance does
not allow multiple users to access the application simultaneously. For example, in a multiuser
environment with a terminal server, if System Manager does not start with a predefined port range,
multiple users cannot access the application simultaneously.

Enabling SNMP
For System Manager to discover storage systems, you must ensure that the SNMP protocols
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are enabled and an SNMP community is created on the storage system.

About this task

SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols are less secure compared to SNMPv3 protocol. In storage systems
running Data ONTAP 8.1 or later, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols are enabled by default. In
storage systems running clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 or later, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are disabled by
default. SNMPv2c is enabled when an SNMP community is created.
You must use the command-line interface (CLI) to enable SNMP because System Manager does not
support enabling SNMP. After the discovery of controllers by using SNMP, you require NetApp
Manageability SDK credentials to effectively manage the controllers.
 Getting started with System Manager | 17

Creating an SNMP community for clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 or later

You can create an SNMP community that acts as an authentication mechanism between the
management station and the cluster when using SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.

About this task

You must use the CLI to enable SNMP on the cluster.

• Starting from Data ONTAP 8.2, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are disabled by default.
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are enabled when an SNMP community is created.

• Data ONTAP supports read-only communities.

• By default, a firewall data policy has SNMP service set to deny.

• You can create SNMP communities for the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c users for Storage Virtual
Machines (SVMs).

Steps

1. Use the system snmp community add command to create an SNMP community.

Example
The following command creates an SNMP community:

cluster1::> system snmp community add -type ro -community-name public

The default string in System Manager is public. However, you can use other community strings.
You must specify the correct community string while adding or discovering clusters in System
Manager.

2. Use the system snmp community show command to verify that the communities have been
created.

Example
The following command displays the different communities created for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c:

cluster1::> system snmp community show

cluster1 ro public

3. Use the firewall policy show -service snmp command to verify that SNMP is allowed
as a service in the cluster firewall policy.

Example
The following example shows that the SNMP service is allowed in the cluster firewall policy:

cluster1::> firewall policy show -service snmp

(system services firewall policy show)

Policy Service Action IP-List

---------------- ---------- ------ --------------------

18 | Installation and Setup Guide

intercluster
snmp deny 0.0.0.0/0
mgmt

4 entries were displayed.

4. If the firewall data policy has SNMP service set to deny, use the firewall policy modify -
service snmp -policy cluster -action allow command to set it to allow.

5. Use the options snmp.enable command to enable SNMP on the cluster.

Example
The following example shows that SNMP is enabled on the cluster:

cluster1::> options snmp.enable

cluster1
snmp.enable on

Enabling or disabling SNMP

You can enable or disable SNMP from the command-line interface by entering the options
snmp.enable command.

Step

1. To enable or disable SNMP, enter the following command:

options snmp.enable {on|off}

on—Enables SNMP

off—Disables SNMP

Adding storage systems or clusters

Before you use System Manager to manage your storage systems and clusters, you have to add them
to the application. You can also add storage systems that are in an HA configuration.

Before you begin

• Your storage systems must be running a supported version of Data ONTAP.

Supported versions of Data ONTAP on page 4
• The DNS domain name of your storage system must be added to the DNS search list in the client
running System Manager.

• All the nodes in the cluster must be running Data ONTAP 8.1 or later.

• You must have the Data ONTAP credentials (user name and password) of the storage object that
you are adding to System Manager.

About this task

If you are adding one of the storage systems from an HA pair, the partner node is automatically
added to the list of managed systems. If the partner node in an HA pair is down, you can add the
working storage node.
 Getting started with System Manager | 19

Steps

1. From the home page, click Add.

2. Type the fully qualified DNS host name or the IPv4 address of the storage system or cluster.

If you are adding a cluster, you must enter the IP address of the cluster-management LIF.

3. Click the More arrow.

4. Select the method for discovering and adding the storage system or cluster:
• SNMP
You must specify the SNMP community and SNMP version (SNMPv1 or SNMPv2).
Although you can use SNMP to communicate with the nodes, you must provide the controller
credentials to manage these nodes.

• Credentials
You must specify the Data ONTAP credentials (user name and password) of the storage object
that you are adding to System Manager.
You can use SNMP to communicate with the nodes. However, controller credentials are
required for managing the nodes.

5. Click Add.

Result
The storage system that you have added is displayed in the home page.

Discovering storage systems

You can use the Discover Storage Systems dialog box to discover storage systems, clusters, or
storage systems in an HA pair on a network subnet and add them to the list of managed systems.

Before you begin

• Your storage systems must be running a supported version of Data ONTAP.

• All the nodes in the cluster must be running Data ONTAP 8.1 or later.

• The DNS domain name of your storage system must be added to the DNS search list in the client
running System Manager.

• The SNMP protocols SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c must be enabled, and an SNMP community must
be configured.

About this task

If you are adding one of the nodes in an HA pair, the partner system is automatically added to the list
of managed systems.

Steps

systems in the System Manager home page.

Configuring storage systems

You can use the Storage Configuration wizard to configure your storage system or an HA
configuration running Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode. You must separately configure each
storage system when you configure an HA configuration.

Before you begin

• The storage system must not be configured previously.

• Your storage systems must be running a supported version of Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode.
Supported versions of Data ONTAP on page 4
• You must have enabled HTTP by using the httpd.admin.ssl.enable option for storage
systems running Data ONTAP 8.2 or later operating in 7-Mode.

Note: In the Data ONTAP 8.x operating in 7-Mode product name, the term 7-Mode signifies that
the 8.x release operates in the same way as the prior Data ONTAP 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 release
families.

Steps

1. From the home page, double-click the appropriate storage system.
