Dear Regmi,
it's for my own understanding, as well as for those NetApp customer's being die-hard *NIX oriented and desire to understand what's configured in which config file and how.
Stephen C. Losen answered by pointing me in the direction of Chapter 5 of the man pages.
Kind regards, Soren

Would like a list with a description/explanation of the /etc/ files - do you know if there is a such?
What I'm looking for is something that would e.g. explain something like: *** /etc/rc - The /etc/rc file contains commands that the storage system executes at boot time to configure the system. Commands in the /etc/rc file configure the storage system to: - Communicate on your network - Use the NIS and DNS services - Save the core dump that might exist if the storage system panicked before it was booted ***
I can of course begin to dig out the information from NOW, sysadmin guide etc., but would safe a LOT of time if such a list already exist.

Seems to me the more you know and understand about your infrastructure the better you'll be able to support it. Very few problems have been caused by knowing too much, lots are from now knowing quite as much as you should (or think you do ;)
