If you are moving from Data ONTAP running in 7-Mode to clustered Data ONTAP, you might find it handy to refer to the command maps, which show the clustered Data ONTAP equivalents of 7-Mode commands, options, and configuration files.
The Command Map for 7-Mode Administrators includes the following mappings of 7-Mode commands, options, and configuration files to their clustered Data ONTAP equivalents:
Although the Data ONTAP command-line interface (CLI) is significantly reorganized for cluster operations, many of the commands have 7-Mode-compatible shortcut versions that require no change to scripts or other automated tasks. These shortcut versions are listed first and in bold in the tables here. Shortcut versions that are not 7-Mode-compatible are listed next, followed by the full, long-form version of the commands:
7-Mode command | Clustered Data ONTAP command |
---|---|
aggr add | aggr add aggr add-disks storage aggregate add-disks |
If no bold shortcut is listed, a 7-Mode-compatible version is not available. Not all forms of the commands are shown in the table. The CLI is extremely flexible, allowing multiple abbreviated forms.
A cluster has three different shells for CLI commands:
It provides all the commands you need to configure and manage the cluster.
These commands take effect only at the node level. You can switch from the clustershell to a nodeshell session to run nodeshell commands interactively, or you can run a single nodeshell command from the clustershell. You can recognize a command as a nodeshell command if it has the (long) form system node run -node {nodename|local} commandname.
It is not intended for general administrative purposes. Access the systemshell only with guidance from technical support.
When you see a 7-Mode-compatible shortcut version of a nodeshell command, it is assumed that you are running the command from the nodeshell. To switch to the nodeshell, enter the following:
system node run -node {nodename|local}Other forms of the nodeshell command must be run from the clustershell.
