Exploring NetApp Simulate ONTAP

NetApp Simulate ONTAP is a simulator for running Data ONTAP software. It has been available for a number of years to NetApp customers and partners, and is readily obtainable (unofficially) from any number of websites. It enables you to test most features of Data ONTAP 7-Mode or Cluster-Mode, and is an excellent tool for learning about the features of Data ONTAP.

There have been various versions of Simulate ONTAP over the years. Initially it had to be installed on a Red Hat or SuSE Linux platform but over the years more Linux distributions were added. Nowadays Simulate ONTAP is also available as a VMware virtual machine that runs in a hypervisor such as VMware Workstation on either a Windows or a Mac system.

Simulate ONTAP has some limitations:

  • Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) is simulated and is not persistent.
  • You must shut down the simulator properly to avoid data loss.
  • There is no access to a Service Processor.
  • You can have a maximum of 4 simulated disk shelves with 14 disk drives per shelf, for a total
    of 56 drives.
  • Each simulated drive is limited to 9 GB in the current version of the simulator.
  • You can create 64-bit aggregates, but they are limited to a maximum of 9 GB per simulated disk
    drive.

The simulator image comes pre-configured with 28 1 GB disks. There are 14 each on simulated disk shelves 0 and 1. Disk shelves 2 and 3 are not populated. You can configure up to a maximum of 220 GB total disk space for each Simulate ONTAP node.

The 48 GB disk that comes with the simulate ONTAP VM is far too small for practical use and should be expanded if you wish to store real data on the simulator. You need to increase the size of the disk and then extend the partitions/slices within the simulator disk to take advantage of the new increased disk space available to the VM. Because the simulator runs on FreeBSD, you will have to download a live copy of FreeBSD and boot from it to modify the disk partitions/slices. See here for more information.

Here is my Data ONTAP 7-Mode VM configuration:

and here is the output of sysconfig -v:

ontap*>

I assume that you are somewhat familiar with Data ONTAP and Unix commands if you are reading this blog post so I am not going to explain the various commands unless it is necessary.

To get root access, we need to unlock and set a password for the hidden user diaguser and access the systemshell as shown below:

For some reason, the hidden diagnostic user is named diaguser but invoked as diag!

When you login to the systemshell, you are actually placed into a C Shell (csh) with a user id of 1002 and a home directory of /var/home/diag. Some useful aliases are available to you.

ontap% alias
h       (history 25)
j       (jobs -l)
la      (ls -a)
lf      (ls -FA)
ll      (ls -lA)
ontap%

Unfortunately logging into systemshell as user diag does not provide you with root privileges.

So how do you become root? Quite easily as it turns out. The Bash shell exists on the VM at /usr/bin/bash and is owned by root. So invoking sudo bash changes your id to 0, i.e. root, as shown above. Note that no man pages are available in either of these shells.

By the way, you could also have entered sudo /bin/sh to instead use a Bourne shell, but then you would not have command completion or command history.

Here is the contents of /etc/sudoers:

bash-3.2# cat /etc/sudoers
# sudoers file.
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
# Failure to use 'visudo' may result in syntax or file permission errors
# that prevent sudo from running.
#
# See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.

# FreeBSD pkg_* utilities.
#Defaults       env_keep += "PKG_PATH PKG_DBDIR PKG_TMPDIR TMPDIR PACKAGEROOT PACKAGESITE PKGDIR"

# Uncomment if needed to preserve environmental variables related to
# portupgrade. (portupgrade uses some of the same variables as the pkg_*
# tools so their Defaults above should be uncommented if needed too.)
#Defaults       env_keep += "PORTSDIR PORTS_INDEX PORTS_DBDIR PACKAGES PKGTOOLS_CONF"

# Runas alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
diag    ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

# Uncomment to allow people in group wheel to run all commands
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Same thing without a password
# %wheel        ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

# Samples
# %users  ALL=/sbin/mount /cdrom,/sbin/umount /cdrom
# %users  localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now
bash-3.2#


Nothing exciting or interesting there except that the user diag can gain elevated privilege without entering a password whereas root has to enter a password.

So where is the real password file? Turns out that it is in /var/etc.

bash-3.2# cd /var/etc
bash-3.2# ls
bootargs                localtime               periodic.conf.local
dhclient-enter-hooks    master.passwd           php.ini
dhclient.conf           mgmtlogspec             pwd.db
fstab                   motd                    rc.conf
group                   ndmpd.conf              resolv.conf
host.conf               newsyslog.conf          spwd.db
hosts                   nsmb.conf               ssh
httpd-custom.conf       nsswitch.conf           sysctl.conf
httpd-custom.conf.old   ntp.conf                ttys
httpd-vserver.conf      opieaccess              ttys.old
inetd.conf              passwd
ipf.user.rules          periodic.conf
bash-3.2#


and here is the contents of the password file as obtained using vipw:

You can change the root password using the passwd utility and it will persist across a reboot.

Here we see 2 shelves (0 and 1) with 14 disks apiece. Note there is no v0.23, v0.30, v0.31 or v1.23, v1.30, v1.31 disks. Can you figure out why?

See Netapp Support DOC-9579 for detailed information about how to add more disks to Simulate ONTAP.

Here is how to add another shelf (2) with 14 x VD-4000MB-FZ-520 (4 Gb) disks:

Here is the only useful documentation on the vsim_makedisks utility that I can find:

bash-3.2# vsim_makedisks -h
Usage: /usr/sbin/vsim_makedisks [ -n <additional number of disks to create> ]
          [ -t <disk type ID> ]
          [ -e <additional sectors> ]
          [ -a <adapter on which to start populating disks> ]
          [ -h ]

By default 5 disks will be added. The >disk type ID>> can be one
of the following: (NOTE, 0 is the default)

bash3-2#


Switching topics now to how you can display a banner before the login prompt and display another banner after successful login. Displaying a banner after a successful login is not a problem as anything in /etc/motd will be displayed.

Looking at /etc/gettytab, the default termcap capability if is set to /etc/issue. This means that anything in /etc/issue will be displayed on the console before the login prompt. See FreeBSD gettytab(5) man page for more information.

default:\
        :cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:\
        :if=/etc/issue:

You also need to modify the ssh daemon (sshd) configuration file to display a banner page before an ssh login prompt. The settings for sshd are located in /var/etc/ssh

bash3.2#  cd /var/etc/ssh
bash3.2#  ls -l 
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  88039 Oct 28  2011 moduli
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   1283 Mar 30 02:07 ssh_config
-rw-------  1 root  wheel    668 Mar 26 14:55 ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    595 Mar 26 14:55 ssh_host_dsa_key.pub
-rw-------  1 root  wheel    520 Mar 26 14:55 ssh_host_key
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    324 Mar 26 14:55 ssh_host_key.pub
-rw-------  1 root  wheel   1675 Mar 26 14:55 ssh_host_rsa_key
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    387 Mar 26 14:55 ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   2454 Oct 28  2011 sshd_config

To display a banner before the ssh login, modify sshd_config, uncomment the Banner directive and set it to /etc/issue. Also set the hidden registry option ssh2.banner.enable to on using the options command in ONTAP shell advanced mode.

This is what is displayed after the above modifications were made and the ssh daemon restarted.

Note that some versions of Putty only display /etc/issue after you enter your username. This is a known issue.

Option settings are persisted in /mroot/etc/registry*

Why, for example, is ypbind running when NFS is not licensed? Why are telnet-related processes running when telnet is disabled?

It turns out that the telnet process is being used as a hack to enable diag to login to systemshell. See below:

bash3-2# cat /etc/netapp_systemshell
#! /bin/sh

# Script to verify that the diag user is not locked when running
# 'systemshell' from the dbaldecli in 7mode.
# This is to ensure that when presented with a login prompt, the user
# is able to log in, since there is no way to exit from the login prompt
# unless you log in. Ctrl-D is ignored by the console.
# See Burt 355606 for details.

RSLT=`ngsh -c "security login diaguser show diag" 2>&1`
echo $RSLT | grep -q 'Locked: no' 2>&1

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        echo "Unable to launch systemshell because the 'diag' user is locked."
        return 1
fi

export TERM=xterm
telnet -K -Q localhost

return $?

There appears to be built-in support for the power on and off features of VMware tools. See /etc/vmservices-backup-config, /etc/vmservices-poweroff-vm and /etc/vmware/tools/tools.conf.

The telnet, ssh, login and rsh daemons are controlled by the extended internet daemon (/sbin/xinetd) and the configuration file for each service is located in /etc/xinetd.d.

Well, this blog post is getting way too big – so it is time to stop writing now. You should now be able to explore and modify Simulate ONTAP for yourself. I will continue posting any useful information that I discover about Simulate ONTAP as time permits.

By the way, SSH’ing into this version of Simulate ONTAP frequently fails. Apparently, it has been fixed in later versions but the only fix in the current version seems to be to either reboot the simulator or wait about 10 minutes and try again. See NetApp bug ID 608206.

Enjoy!
