Set Netappsvm

The set netappsvm command associates the logon credentials for a cluster management server, which are specified on the set password command, with a NetApp storage virtual machine, and the data storage virtual machine (SVM) name (data Vserver). You must enter this command before you can create a snapshot difference incremental backup of a clustered NetApp volume.

This command is typically entered only once. The parameters are stored and are reused the next time that you backup a clustered volume that is managed by the storage virtual machine. If you move an storage virtual machine to another cluster management server, you must reenter this command and specify the new cluster management server. If necessary, change the login credentials by using the set password command.

Supported clients

AIX operating systems Linux operating systems This command is valid for AIX® and Linux backup-archive clients that complete snapshot difference backups of clustered-data ONTAP-c-mode file-server volumes.

Windows operating systems This command is valid for Windows clients that perform snapshot difference backups of clustered-data ONTAP-c-mode file-server volumes.

Syntax


>>-SET NETAPPSVM--+-svm_hostname--cms_hostname-- svm_name-+----><
                  '- -remove--svm_hostname----------------'

Parameters

svm_hostname: Specifies the host name or IP address of the storage virtual machine that manages the volumes and logical interfaces (LIFs), for the volumes that you want to protect.
cms_hostname: Specifies the host name or IP address of the cluster management server. Specify the same host name that you specified for this cluster management server when you used the set password command to establish the login credentials.
svm_name: Specifies the name of the data SVM that manages the mounted volume. Contact the NetApp SVM administrator to obtain the data SVM name that is assigned to the virtual machine.
-remove svm_hostname: Disassociates the SVM from the cluster management server that it was previously associated with. Specify a SVM host-name
You can specify this parameter if you accidentally associated a storage virtual machine with a 7-mode file server. If you remove a 7-mode file server and then associate a cluster management server, set the logon credentials for the cluster management server by using the set password command.

Examples

Configure the credentials and access to a storage virtual machine:

set netappsvm svm_example.com cms_filer1.example.com svm_2
dsmc set password cms_filer1.example.com user_name password

Remove the associations that were created for the storage virtual machine:

set netappsvm -remove svm_example.com
