2.8 Creating a custom user for managing the storage systems from Oracle
Enterprise Manager
A custom user account is required to manage the NetApp storage systems from Oracle Enterprise
Manager. The custom user must have necessary permissions to access the storage systems.
2.8.1 Creating a custom user for managing storage systems operating in 7-

Mode
A custom user account must be created by the storage administrator for Oracle Enterprise Manager plug-
in user to manage the NetApp storage systems operating in 7-Mode. This process involves creating role,
group, and the user.
If you were already using an earlier version of NetApp storage system plug-in, the user will exist. You
must assign additional privileges to the user to view all the metrics supported in the latest version of
NetApp storage system plug-in. For information about how to assign additional privileges, see Assigning
privileges to the existing user for managing storage systems operating in 7-Mode
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 system with root credentials by using Secure Shell (SSH).
2. Create the roles for the custom user by running the following command:
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*,api-net-
ifconfig-get*,api-quota-report*,api-snapshot-list*,api-ems-autosupport-
log*,api-cf-status*,api-snmp-get*,api-volume-clone-split-estimate
3. Create the group for the custom user by running the following command:
useradmin group add oemplugingrp -r oempluginrole
4. Create the user by running the following command:
useradmin user add oemplugin -g oemplugingrp
You are prompted for a password when you add the user for the systems. This password must have
at least eight alphanumeric characters. The user “oemplugin” has been created with minimal
privileges to access the NetApp storage systems
5. Log in with this user’s credentials when you register this storage systems with the Oracle Enterprise
Manager plug-in.
For more information about the useradmin command, see the Data ONTAP Commands:
Manual Page Reference.
Assigning privileges to the existing user for managing storage systems operating
in 7-Mode
If you were already using an earlier version of NetApp storage system plug-in, the custom user will exist.
However, if you have imported the latest version of NetApp storage system plug-in, you must assign
additional privileges to the existing user to view all the metrics.
2. Assign the privileges to the custom user by running the following command:
useradmin role modify <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*,api-net-
ifconfig-get*,api-quota-report*,api-snapshot-list*,api-ems-autosupport-
log*,api-cf-status*,api-snmp-get*, api-volume-clone-split-estimate
where <oempluginrole > is the role that was assigned to the existing user.
2.8.2 Creating a custom user for managing Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs)
This process enables the storage administrator to create a custom user for Oracle Enterprise Manager
plug-in user to manage the NetApp Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs).
The custom user is usually given the read-only privilege. However, the user with read-only privilege
cannot view Network Interface Rate, Protocol Rate, SnapMirror, and Volume Performance Statistics
metrics because of a limitation in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.x or later. The user must have admin
privileges to view these metrics.
1. Log in to the clustered Data ONTAP storage system with cluster administrator credentials by using
SSH.
2. Create the custom user.
a) To create the user with read-only privilege, run the following command:
security login create -vserver <vserver_name> -username oemplugin -
application ontapi -authmethod password -role readonly
b) To create the user with admin privilege, run the following command:
security login create -vserver <vserver_name> -user-or-group-name
<oemplugin> -application ontapi -authmethod password -role vsadmin-
readonly
where <vserver_name> is the name of the Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs) for which you are
creating the user.
2.8.3 Creating a custom user for managing clustered Data ONTAP storage
systems
This process allows the storage administrator to create a custom user for Oracle Enterprise Manager
plug-in user to manage the clustered Data ONTAP storage systems.
1. Log in to the clustered Data ONTAP storage system with cluster administrator credentials by using
SSH.
2. Create the custom user by running the following command:

object*,api-net-ifconfig-get*
useradmin group add oemparentusergrp -r oemparentuserrole
useradmin user add oemparentuser -g oemparentusergrp
at least eight alphanumeric characters. The user “oemparentuser” has been created with minimal
privileges to access data of the NetApp vFiler storage systems.
5. Provide this user’s credentials as the parent storage user name when you register the vFiler storage
system with the Oracle Enterprise Manager plug-in.
Perform the following to create user for vFiler storage system:

1. Log in to the parent NetApp storage system of the vFiler with root credentials by using SSH.
2. Switch to vFiler context using the following command:
vfiler context <vfiler_name>

4. In Database Storage Reports, select one of the options based on which you want to generate the
report and click View.
Log in to BI publisher and the report will be displayed. For more information about the reports,
see the following sections:
 Utilization
 SnapShot Copies
 Alerts
 FlexClone Savings
To view database and storage performance, you can either enter the IP address, FQDN, or short
name of the storage system while defining the NFS mount point of the database host. The FQDN of
the storage system is the fully qualified domain name and the short name is the alias name of the
storage system. For example, if the FQDN is fas2040-197-42.host_name, the short name is fas2040-
197-42.
When the plug-in agent initiates the collection of “network interface list” metric, the
StorageIPAddressMapping.xml file is generated at the
agent_install_path/plugins/netapp.storage.sys.agent.plugin_12.1.0.2.1/scripts/data/7mode/IP_a
ddress location.
The StorageIPAddressMapping.xml file contains the short name along with the corresponding IP
address and FQDN of the host and an unique interface name. An example of a
StorageIPAddressMapping.xml file is:
<storageIPAddressMapping>
<InterfaceMappingInfo manualMapping="false" shortname="fas2040-197-42" fqdnName="fas2040-197-

42.host_name" ipAddress="10.72.197.42" interfaceName="e0a"/>
<InterfaceMappingInfo manualMapping="false" shortname="Not Assigned" fqdnName="Not Assigned"

ipAddress="Not Assigned" interfaceName="e0b"/>

ipAddress="Not Assigned" interfaceName="e0c"/>
<ManualMapping>false</ManualMapping>
</storageIPAddressMapping>
If you enter a short name that is different from FQDN while defining the NFS mount point, you must
manually add the short name in the StorageIPAddressMapping.xml file by performing the following
steps:
1. Open the StorageIPAddressMapping.xml file.
2. Enter the short name that you specified while defining the NFS mount point.
3. Change the default interface name.
4. Change the value to true for the ManualMapping tag.
For example, if the FQDN is fas2040-197-42.host_name and you have entered the short name as
fas2040Storage, edit the file as follows:
<InterfaceMappingInfo shortname="fas2040-197-42" fqdnName="fas2040-197-42.host_name"

ipAddress="IP_address" interfaceName="e0a"/>
<InterfaceMappingInfo manualMapping="true" shortname="fas2040Storage" fqdnName="fas2040-197-

42.host_name" ipAddress=" IP_address " interfaceName="e0a1"/>
<InterfaceMappingInfo shortname="Not Assigned" fqdnName="Not Assigned" ipAddress="Not Assigned"

interfaceName="e0b"/>
<ManualMapping>true</ManualMapping>

15 Metric retention policy

The NetApp storage system plug-in manages NetApp storage systems in Enterprise Manager Cloud
Control environment and stores the monitoring metric data in Oracle Enterprise Manager repository.
Similarly, other target types also store information in the Oracle Enterprise Manager repository. Therefore,
a large amount of data is stored in the Oracle Enterprise Manager repository which might result in poor
performance of Enterprise Manager (EM).
Therefore, a default policy is defined by EM for purging data from the repository. These purge policies in
EM are defined globally and applicable for all target types managed by EM. The data is purged after 31
days, by default.
For more information, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c documentation.

publisher, you can view it.
Description Workaround
This issue occurs because of few limitations with BI
publisher PL or SQL programming.
For example, if the mount point is

/FIN/VOL/DATAVOL/DIR/mnt/FINDB/DATA1,
/FIN/VOL/DATAVOL is the junction path, and DIR is the
qtree; the discovery of volumes fail and thus reports
are not displayed. However, if the mount point was
/FIN/VOL/DATAVOL, then the discovery operation is
successful and the reports are displayed.
If the SAN Discovery Server is started using the below Navigate to the folder
