Operations Manager (DFM) offers the ability to compare the configurations of all the systems, and report on any differences.
Download DFM plugins for all relevant versions of Data ONTAP.
In the DFM GUI, go to Management > Storage System > Configuration
Files
- Create a new configuration file and call it something similar to
baseline.options.config.
- In DFM GUI, go to Management > Storage System > Compare
Configurations
- Compare the baseline.options.config to the other filers that should
have the same configuration information.
- Refresh and click on the completed job to view any differences
Wow. Lots of really good advice from several folks. I have it working on the command line as well, so that makes some things easier. It seems that if I have one or two option areas that I care about, having a specific script to examine might be better than asking DFM to generate a full comparison report (which will have lots of differences that I might not care about).
Got all the plugins. Almost all the data received. Now I just have to figure out why a few filers that otherwise report fine in Ops manager don't get the detailed information for the configurations.
$ dfm config dump <filer> Error: Failed to pull configuration from <filer>(3972). Unable to open /vol/vol0/etc/dfm-10.0.36.39-04082011084439.cfg: No such file or directory Error: Failed to get configuration dump from <filer>.
Thanks again for all the pointers
