a. Open a console session using PuTTY, a terminal server, or the equivalent

for your environment.

Check your laptop or console’s online help if you do not
know how to configure PuTTY.

b. Enter the management IP address when prompted by the script.

5. Using System Manager on your laptop or console, configure your cluster:

a. Point your browser to the node management IP address.

The format for the address is https://x.x.x.x.

b. Configure the system using the data you collected in the 

NetApp ONTAP Configuration guide

.

ONTAP Configuration Guide

6. Set up your account and download Active IQ Config Advisor:

a. Log in to your existing account or create an account.

NetApp Support Registration

b. Register your system.

NetApp Product Registration

c. Download Active IQ Config Advisor.

NetApp Downloads: Config Advisor

7. Verify the health of your system by running Config Advisor.

8. After you have completed the initial configuration, go to the 

ONTAP & ONTAP System Manager

Documentation Resources

 page for information about configuring additional features in ONTAP.

Maintain

Boot media

Replace the boot media - AFF FAS8300 and FAS8700

The boot media stores a primary and secondary set of system (boot image) files that the
system uses when it boots. Depending on your network configuration, you can perform
either a nondisruptive or disruptive replacement.

You must have a USB flash drive, formatted to FAT32, with the appropriate amount of storage to hold the
