For any data Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs) that have a namespace (CIFS and/or NFSv3), it is recommended to protect the SVM root volume. This is not required for SAN based (FC or iSCSI only). There are two ways to accomplish this: Data Protection Mirrors (DP) or...
The following is an abbreviated procedure for configuring NetApp SnapDrive for Windows with Clustered ONTAP. The full article can be found at How to configure SnapDrive for Windows with clustered Data ONTAP. Before you begin, check the compatibility matrix and review...

DNS Delegation Load Balancing Steps The following is based on How to set up DNS load balancing in clustered Data ONTAP To use DNS Zones you must configure your DNS server to delegate DNS authority for the subdomain to the SVM. Besides giving the least used LIF,...
The following is a basic “default” export-policy rule for SVMs that have a namespace (NAS only). The rule will prevent writing to the root volume but allow reading and traversing it to the junction. Policy Name: default Rule Index: 1 Access Protocol: nfs Client Match...
To enable Active Directory (AD) domain users to access the cluster or Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs), set up an authentication tunnel through a CIFS-enabled SVM. This is for administrative access only. This procedure will work with any data SVM that has a CIFS server...
The following recommendations should be considered when deploying NetApp Clustered ONTAP (cDOT/ONTAP) systems. It is understood that some items may not be in every environment and that there may be preexisting standards for others. However, if there are no preexisting...
The following is based on Selective LUN Map. Additional information can be viewed at FAQ: Selective LUN mapping. Selective LUN Map (SLM) reduces the number of paths from the host to the LUN. With SLM, when a new LUN map is created, the LUN is accessible only through...
