Last month I was asked to join two existing VMware vCenter Servers each with embedded platform services controllers, in enhanced linked mode. Additionally, this will create one SSO domain and enable vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode.
In this article I’m going to walk you through the steps I used to upgrade my NetApp Simulator from ONTAP 9.6 to the new ONTAP 9.7 RC1
If you have been following my Ansible demonstrations, you will see that authenticating to my NetApp simulator I had the username and password embedded into the variables.yml file. Like this:
If you have heard the announcements earlier this year and at VMworld 2019, you will know that VMware is embracing Terraform for VMware vCloud Director.
Who loves creating root load-sharing mirrors (LS-mirrors) ? If you manage 1 Ontap system with 1 SVM you may enjoy it, but if you manage multiple systems with many SVM’s then you may not enjoy it as much.
Have you ever had to perform a large number of vol moves in order to evacuate or decommission an aggregate? This week I had to evacuate about 50+ volumes from an aggregate that is being decommissioned. Instead of typing out the vol move command 50+ times I decided to automate it with NetApp Powershell module.
If you followed my last post where I created an Ansible Playbook to complete a full setup of a NetApp simulator, you would have seen that it was one gigantic playbook.
Last month, I decided it was time to get my hands dirty and jump right into learning some Ansible Automation with NetApp.
Today has been the release of NetApp Ontap 9.6 RC2 and what better way to get familiar with it than to run it up in the lab as a simulator.
In this video tutorial, I walk you through how to set up a fully functional VMware vSphere 6.7 Lab within your home pc utilizing VMware Workstation.
