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

Operations Manager (DFM) offers the ability to compare the
configurations of all the systems, and report on any differences.
1. Download DFM plugins for all relevant versions of Data ONTAP.
2. In the DFM GUI, go to Management > Storage System > Configuration
Files
3. Create a new configuration file and call it something similar to
baseline.options.config.
4. In DFM GUI, go to Management > Storage System > Compare
Configurations
5. Compare the baseline.options.config to the other filers that should
have the same configuration information.
6. Refresh and click on the completed job to view any differences

Subject: Easy way to monitor options?
I would like to check the options on my filers for various items, but
I'm not sure the best way to do it. Could anyone tell me if I'm missing
something?
SNMP and Operations Manager: I don't see that I can pull the data from
either of these sources.
SSH and SDK access: I could create an account, but it seems to me that
the only
restriction available is the ability to run the "options" command.
There's no way to grant an account read-only access to the data. I'd
rather not give the monitor direct access to modify things.
NFS: The current options appear to be visible as a local file in /etc,
but creating NFS access to vol0 for lots of filers for a single file
seems more of a hassle to me.
At the moment I'm leaning toward a collector that would poll all the
filers via SSH or SDK to run "options" and dump that into static files
on a normal export that the monitoring system could examine. Anyone have
any other suggestions?
Thanks!
