NetApp Storage Systems running Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode

HTTPS port (443) enabled on the NetApp controller

Administrator rights on your Oracle Enterprise Manager management server

Root user credentials on the NetApp storage controller or the proper level of authority to manage the NetApp Storage System Plug-In as described in ―Creating a Custom User for Managing the Plug-In‖

2.3 Downloading the Plug-In

The first step to deploy the plug-in is to download it from the plug-in site in NetApp Communities. To

download the plug-in:

1. Navigate to the site that has the plug-in .opar file.

2. Download the file 12.1.0.1.0.sys_netapp.storage.sys_2000_0.opar to the appropriate

directory on the local OMS server.

2.4 Importing the Plug-In

Before the plug-in deployment process can be initiated, the NetApp Storage System Plug-in must be

imported into the software library using the OEM CLI. First you must download the plug-in archive to an

accessible location, as described in the previous section. Then you can import the plug-in into the

Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Framework using the emcli import_update command.

1. Log in to the Linux system as root.

2. Navigate to the OMS/bin directory.

3. Log in to the OMS server as sysman: emcli login –username=sysman. The sysman user

password is required at this point.

4. Synchronize the OMS server: emcli sync

5. Import the plug-in to the OEM framework with the following command: emcli import_update -file=12.1.0.1.0_netapp.storage.sys_2000_0.opar -omslocal

where is the path where you downloaded the .opar file in the preceding section.

The –omslocal flag indicates that the plug-in archive is on the same system where you are

running this command and the path exists on this system.

See the Importing Plug-In Archives section in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control

Administrator’s Guide for additional information about importing plug-in archives to the Oracle Software

Library.

Guide for additional information about deploying plug-ins on the OMS.

2.6 Creating a Custom User for Managing the Plug-In

You can create a custom user who has the proper level of authority to manage the NetApp Storage Plug-

in. This process involves three parts: creating the role, creating the group, and creating the user. The

following steps describe how to create the custom user.

Note: The role, group, and user names used to illustrate creation of the custom user are only examples. You should use names that reflect the needs of your organization.

1. Log in to the NetApp storage controller with root credentials using ssh.

2. Create the role for the custom user: useradmin role add oempluginrole -a login-*,api-system-get*,api-volume-list*,api-aggr-list*,api-snapmirror-

get-status*,api-snapshot-reserve-list*,api-disk-list*,api-qtree-list*,api-


license-list*,api-perf-object*,api-snapshot-list-info*,api-nfs-

status*,api-cifs-status*

3. Create the group for the custom user: useradmin group add oemplugingrp -r oempluginrole

4. Create the user: useradmin user add oemplugin -g oemplugingrp

You are prompted for a password when you add the user for the controller. This password must have at least eight alphanumeric characters.

5. Now the user ―oemplugin‖ has been created with minimal privileges to access the NetApp storage controller. Log in with this user’s credentials when you register this storage controller with the OEM plug-in.
