Running the NetApp ha-config-check script

Running the NetApp ha-config-check script from Windows can be problematic because you need SSH or RSH software on your Windows client.
But instead you could choose an easier way and use a secure connection via SSH. First create a Linux (e.g. Ubuntu) virtual machine (VM) on your Windows client. You can use VMware workstation for this purpose but others might do as well.
The VM needs to have network access to the filers.
Poweron the VM, logon, start a terminal session and navigate to the folder desktop (e.g. cd Desktop).
Next copy the ha-config-check.cgi and README.pod files to the VMs desktop.
Add execution permissions to the ha-config-check.cgi script by running the command chmod a+x ha-config-check.cgi.
Now you’re ready the run the script, enter the command ./ha-config-check.cgi –s root@<filer1> root@<filer2>
You will be prompted for the filers root passwords several times, just enter them.
If you want to capture the output into a text file enter the command script –a ha-config-check.txt before running the script, when the script is finished enter exit and all the output is stored in the text file.
