\"image1[1]\"Recently I was trying to take a backup of\u00a0the configuration for a\u00a0NetApp SAN for a scheduled power shutdown. Per this useful guide : http:\/\/pipe2text.com\/?page_id=1472<\/a> this can be done through the OnCommand facility.<\/p>\r\n

However once I tried to create the backup file I was given the error configuration plugin for data ontap version 8.1.1 is not installed. A look on Netapp Support shows I would need to download the software and install , however when I checked the below I only found version 8.1.3 which means I would need to reinstall and upgrade. I just wanted to get a config backup before the power down!!!<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. Go to http:\/\/support.netapp.com<\/span><\/a> & login using your account.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
      \r\n\t
    1. Go to Download -> Software<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
        \r\n\t
      1. Go to the Data ONTAP download section and supply the model of your controller (FAS2240-4) and click “GO”.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
          \r\n\t
        1. In the “Data ONTAP for FAS2240-4” page, find ONTAP 8.1.1 and click “View and Download<\/strong>” button.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
            \r\n\t
          1. Scroll down to the section titled, “Support for OnCommand Core Package or Operations Manager and DataFabric\u00ae Manager server multiple-system configurations<\/strong>“<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
              \r\n\t
            1. Click the link under that section titled “Data ONTAP 8.1.1 Operating in 7-Mode Plug-in for DataFabric Manager Server”.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

              So I found another way \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

              1) Login to the netapp controllers indivdually via SSH ( not through the service port )<\/p>\r\n

              2) Run ‘config dump -v nameofbackup’, this will backup to the \\etc\\configs directory<\/p>\r\n

              3) Open \\\\nameofnetappcontroller\\c$ ( Samba share )<\/p>\r\n

              4) Browse to \\\\nameofnetappcontroller\\c$\\etc\\configs and copy the file off<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
