-=====Configure=====
+=====Create Cluster=====
 In this section we will configure the physical and software component of the Netapp. Well physical...as most as we can, given that it is virtualized :D
 Firstly, following our topology from the Vyos, we need 7 network adapters connected to the different networks.

-====Disk Addition====
-Now, in order to make some use of our Virtualised storage, we need to add some disks.
-===Enter System Shell===
-Before that however, we need to unlock the diag user. Diag user is a special type of user, used for administrative purposes and the most important thing is that it allows us to enter into the system shell:
-{{:undefined:netappunlockdiaguser.jpg?500|}}
+=====Joining to a Cluster=====
+Now, to joing a NetApp simulator to our previously created cluster, we need to do a little change.
-===Create Data Disks===
+====Change Serial====
-Now that we are in the system shell we are ready to create the disks as follows:
+That change is to change the serial number, because if we don't when it will try to join, it will try to check the serial and if it sees two machines with the same serial it will fail.
+So, at the begining of the booting, don't press enter, just press any other buttom and follow the instructions:
-  * Change the Path
+{{:netappchangeserialnumber.jpg?500|}}
-  * Create the disks
-{{:netappcreatedatadisks.jpg?500|}}
+Once that we changed the serial the serial we can continue as before with the booting:
-===Create SSD Disks===
+====Joining====
-To add SSD disks, use the same command, just instead of type 23, we will add disks with type: 35
+To join a cluster, we have to again interupt the booting menu (the 2nd one, not the 1st one as the previous section) and again choose option 4) (Clean installation)
+Repeat the steps from the creation of the clustert with the exception of the step for: "Create or Join"
+This time choose JOIN:
-{{:netappcreatessddisks.jpg?500|}}
+{{:netappjoin.jpg?500|}}
+====Obtain the Private IP====
+After that, we will be asked to enter the private Cluster network IP from node 1.
+So go to Node 1 and issue the following command to obtain the IP:
-After that, we can safetly reboot the machine. Once the machines boots, we have to fix a common problem with the simulator.
+{{:netappmasteripinterfaces.jpg?500|}}
-The simulator often crashes because of the insufficient space in the root aggregate. So, we have to assign all disks this node and remove & disable the snapshots
-===Assign Disks & Remove / Disable snapshot===
-{{:netappassigndisksremovesnapshots.jpg?500|}}
-After we have disabled the snapshots, we can assign disk to the root aggregate and increase the space in the volume:
+So enter this IP in the configuration on the 2nd node:
+{{:netappjoinprivateclusternetwork.jpg?500|}}
-===Add disk & Increase space on the Volume===
-Firstly, we have to add the disk to the volume:
-{{:netappreboot.jpg?500|}}
-Once we have that we can increase the storage of the volume. Firstly, I will give him bigger number (1G) so I will see with how much I can increase it (in my case 888MB)
+That should work and we should be given the login prompt:
-{{:netappincreasevolspace.jpg?500|}}
+{{:netappjoined.jpg?500|}}
+====Assign Disks====
+Repeat the steps from the previous section for the disk addition, reboot and assigning of the disks, like the 1st node.
