Introduction
Carrying on from -
- we now create a DATA SVM for our 8.3 2-Node Simulator
Cluster.
In 8.3 the CLI based “Vserver Setup“ wizard does not exist anymore, but we have on-box
OnCommand System Manager, so, first we’ll setup an SVM using this.
1) On-Box OnCommand
System Manager
Point a browser at: https://CLUSTERNAME (this redirects to: https://CLUSTERNAME/sysmgr/SysMgr.html)
and login.

OnCommand System Manager login
Click the + next to “Storage
Virtual Machines” in the right-hand pane, and then click the Create button.

2) Storage
Virtual Machine (SVM) Setup Wizard
2.0) Pre-Requisites
to Completing Storage Virtual Machine Setup Wizard using OnCommand System
Manager
i) Licenses:
Protocol licenses must have been installed
ii) IPspace:
If you want to use anything other than the default IPspace, this must be
created beforehand.
iii) Configured
Subnets: Configured subnets must exist in the IPspace that is used. For
example:
network subnet
create -subnet-name DATA-10.10.10.X -broadcast-domain Default -subnet
10.10.10.0/24 -ipspace Default -gateway 10.10.10.1 -ip-ranges "10.10.10.101-10.10.10.200"
2.1) Enter SVM
basic details:
- SVM Name
- IPspace (if you’ve
not already created a non-default IPspace, this selection is greyed out)
- Volume Type: FlexVol Volumes or Infinite Volume
- Data Protocols: CIFS and/or NFS and/or iSCSI and/or FC/FCoE
- Default Language
(Default character set used by NAS volumes)
- Security Style: NTFS
or UNIX (this is for the SVM rootvol, and all new volumes by default inherit
this)
- Root Aggregate
(for the SVM rootvol)
- DNS Search Domains
(if not already populated to satisfaction)
- DNS Name Servers
(if not already populated to satisfaction)
Then click Submit
& Continue

Wizard - SVM Details
Note: For the sake
of this walkthrough I’ve selected CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI
2.2) Configure
CIFS/NFS protocol:
- Data LIF Configuration
+ Tick ‘Retain the CIFS data LIF’s configuration for NFS
clients’ if CIFS and NFS are to use the same Data LIF
+ Select Subnet
+ Select Port
- CIFS Server Configuration
+ CIFS Server Name
+ Active Directory
+ Organization Unit
(if not CN=Computers)
+ Administrator Name
+ Administrator Password
- (Optional) Provision a volume for CIFS
+ Share Name
+ Size
+ Permission
- (Optional) NIS Configuration
Then click Submit
& Continue
Image: SVM Setup
Wizard - Configure CIFS/NFS protocol
Note: The Active
Directory domain needs to be fully qualified!
2.3) Configure iSCSI
protocol:
- Data Interface (LIF) Configuration
+ Target Alias
+ LIFs Per Node
+ Subnet
+ Tick/Untick ‘Review or modify LIF configuration
(Advanced Settings)’
- Provision a LUN for iSCSI storage
(Optional)
+ LUN Size
+ LUN OS Type
+ Host initiator

Wizard - Configure iSCSI protocol
2.4) SVM
Administration (optional):
This section is
optional!
- (Optional) (SVM) Administrator Details
+ Password
- (Optional) Management Interface (LIF)
Configuration for SVM
+ Tick ‘Create a new LIF for SVM management’ if desired
++ Configure Subnet
++ Configure Port
Then click Submit
& Continue

Wizard - SVM Administration (optional)
2.5) You have
successfully created a new SVM with the following configuration...
Click OK
To be Continued
...
And in true Cosonok style, next time we do this using the
ClusterShell CLI!
