Basics of NetApp Cluster-mode Shells

Similar to 7-mode we have three administrative privilage levels: admin, advanced and
diagnostic. Clustered ONTAP system can be managed either from CLI or GUI (system
manager or element manager). There are three different shells available with different
scopes: Clustershell, nodeshell, systemshell

Step:1 Access through CLI

Clustershell:
=========
-SSH is default method
-One can access clustershell using cluster management LIF (recommended) or the node
management LIFs
-Scope: entire cluster

LIFs Management: 'net int show' with display the output of available cluster management
and node management LIFs along with their IP's, current node, current port and status

Nodeshell:
=======
-Access nodeshell within the clustershell
-Scope: limited to one node at a time
-Command to access nodeshell is:

system node run

Systemshell:
=========
-Access systemshell from within the clustershell
-This is to access BSD shell
-Scope: single node at a time
-To access systemshell:
a. security login unlock -username diag
b. system node systemshell
c. Login as "diag"

Step:2 Access through GUI

-Start the system manager client using the IP address of the cluster management LIF
-This is well known interface to all the existing 7-mode administrators and I don't think more
explanation is needed here
