Netapp ONTAP single node netapp simulator setup

now I have in my simple lab is the following I have a Windows machine which is my Active Directory server the DNS domain name and active directory name is net up dot local I also have a Macbook that runs VMware fusion this is the place where I will run my simulator and I have a Linux machine the network is 192 168 for 0 Windows and Linux will function as my clients that will get storage space from the simulator my mech is just sort of my access point but all machines including the simulator will be able to connect to one another the simulator can be downloaded from the my support website at NetApp its downloadable for free you will need an account to log into network though so let's have a look at now before we start there's something else which is pretty important in the lab set up the simulator offers four network interfaces but you can add two more and we will do that the first two interfaces however should be set to private or host only this is automatically done so you don't have to think about that we will need those interfaces later we are not going to use them for data traffic all the other interfaces should be said to bridged if you do not set the interfaces to bridge but leave them at the default which is net meaning network address translation then you will not be able to connect from clients to your simulator your simulator will be able to connect to the outside world but not vice versa so you have to set these interfaces to bridged so summary we're going to create two additional interfaces so in total we will have four data interfaces and all four data interfaces should be set to breached so first of all I'm going to create a directory structure on my Seagate drive to host all of the files that I'm going to download and work from so I get to Seagate in my case and I'm going to create a folder and I'm going to call the folder lab environment then in that folder I'll create a folder for node 1 which is obviously I'm going to call it node 1 I'm going to store my virtual machine in that folder then I'm going to create a second folder that I'm going to be using later on in the training for the second node that I'm going to add to my single node cluster so my environment is set up and I will start a browser and we'll go to my support Metacom and I will sign him then I go to the download section and I select product evaluation because that's where the simulator is and I select data ONTAP simulator then I scroll down to the bottom of the page and agree to the licenses and Terms & Conditions and press continue now I'm not going to download the installation guide I could do that and read it but I'm not going to do that right now also I'm not going to download the licenses I'll do that later as well when we need them and but I am going to download the simulator not for ESX but for VMware Workstation player and fusion so I will download the correct simulator which is for my fusion environment so when I click on it it will start downloading and it's nine hundred three megabytes I select the lab environment directory as the location and it will start downloading what I can do is I can view it in in the folder itself and see that it is downloading so I simply wait until it's finished and when the download is complete I will have that OVA file which I will have to extract I see it's almost one gigabyte of space that it takes and when I look at it in a terminal window and I list my directories so I get to the Seagate lab environment and do a listing and what I see is I have that OVA file I have to extract it and on UNIX I can do that with tar so it's compressed so zet means decompress X means extract and F is obviously the file that you want to extract so I've extracted it and I do listing again and I see I have my files this is the collection that I'm going to use and I'm going to use that particular OVA file that it has extracted from the zip tar file so that's the file that I will need in fusion so let's start fusion so I will import the OVA file so I run import then I choose the file and the file is that OVA file of eight kilobytes I open it and I continue now it asks me where do you want to place it and now I will place it and know what which is the first node of my cluster so this is the location of that virtual machine so it starts importing the virtual machine and once it's imported I have to look at the settings and I see that my networking is private to my Mac and private to my Mac which is the first two interfaces and the other two are shared with my neck which is network address translation we don't want that so we have to change that so we go to the settings and we will change we don't touch the first one just check it and we see it's private to my Mac which is okay because this is going to be much lesser interconnect later on then the second one is also private to my Mac I don't touch it then I go to the third one and it says it is shared with my Mac and I don't want that I changed that to bridge networking and I set it to auto detect so we'll find out which of the interfaces physical ports it's going to use to connect to the outside world and the outside world can connect to my physical port as well and so I do that for the second interface as well then I'm going to add two more devices and both will be bridged like we agreed so I said it abridged and add the last device also set that to bridged and we're done with the devices so now we can boot up virtual machine for the first time so we boot our VM and I go to your lives to screen a little bit so it's more readable for us and it tells us that we should type ctrl C if we like you have to do that otherwise a will will come into a good loop because it doesn't have its disks initialized yet so you have to initialize the disks so you simply press ctrl C then it says the boot menu will be available and once that's there I can select number four which says clean configuration and initialize all disks we have to do that only once ok so we press 4 and it asks us it checks whether we're sure and we have to be very sure because you will lose all the data on the drives if you would have date all the drives but we have no data so we can initialize all of the disks and it will start to reboot for a wipe config again I press ENTER to continue the boot so I don't have to wait for 15 seconds and it says wipe filer procedure requested so we'll start initializing all of the tribes which basically means zeroing the disks once it's done that these disks can be used to store our data so in real life this will take a little bit longer so I speed I speed up the video a little bit so it says you should have Auto support configured because then we can help you if we have problems we agree to that we simply say yes then I have to specify the node management port which is the third interface which is the bridge the first bridge interface and we give it address 99 in our subnet and we say the net mask is Class C we specify any gateway we like we're not going to be using that gateway anyway but we specify it then it says you can continue using the browser but we are going to stay in the command line and press ENTER to complete cluster setup using the command line do you want to create a new cluster or joint of course we want to create a new cluster then is this going to be single node yes or no and let's say yes so we're going to create a single node cluster then it will ask us for the administrator password so we enter the administrator password twice then the cluster name let's call it cluster one then it will start creating the cluster that will take some time because it has to start all of the demons so the services will be started in the background system startup and all the other stuff that it will need to run the cluster software is started at this point again I speed up the video a little bit then we can add an additional license key we're not going to do that then it also asks for the management for it how do you want to manage your cluster via which port we are not going to do that via a we're going to do that via C so and the address would be 98 the netmask again then the dns domain name that we'll be using is net @ of local and the name server IP address is my Windows server which is the Active Directory domain controller and also the DNS server so in my environment I use 247 as the DNS server and ad server then I have to enter a location let's say somewhere in the Netherlands and I'm able to log in so I log in as admin enter the password and I have my cluster all set up so there's cluster one note one health is true eligibility is true as well and we're done I was logged in as admin but I cannot so log in as admin using a browser so I just want to show you we're not going to be using this all of the time but every now and then we will have a look at what you can do in that browser so we connect to the cluster management port from a browser and it says it's not secure or we don't care about that so we type Adam in and we type the password and then we sign in and we get to see the dashboard as you can see I'm logged in as admin and I see the number of nodes I've got exactly one node the name is called cluster 1-0 one and the note is on line which is nice also we have some additional things that we can start to configure the storage the network we're not going to do all that now what we do is we know that it's there and we can go to it at any time and we sign out and we leave the system manager oh that's a lot of Windows
