Overview

In this section, we will learn how to manage the NetApp cluster. We will change the serial, disable and remove snapshots and others:

Disks

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:

Create Data Disks

Now that we are in the system shell we are ready to create the disks as follows:

Change the Path

Create the disks

Create SSD Disks

To add SSD disks, use the same command, just instead of type 23, we will add disks with type: 35

After that, we can safetly reboot the machine. Once the machines boots, we have to fix a common problem with the simulator. 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

After that we can reboot the server:

Once rebooted, we can assign disk to the root aggregate and increase the space in the volume:

Add disk & Increase space on the Volume

Firstly, we have to add the disk to the volume:

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)
