Features

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/rgroten/NetApp-Snapshot-Manager

This web-based AngularJS and Flask application allows users to perform simple operations on NetApp volumes.

Operations that this app provide include:

- Displaying volumes and their snapshots
- Creating snapshots with specified or default names
- Renaming snapshots
- Deleting snapshots
- Restoring snapshots

More specific features LDAP authentication, RFCChecker (using sql query)

Software Pre-requisites

- See requirements.txt for list of python requirements from pip
- xml2json js library is used (https://code.google.com/p/x2js/)
- ngProgress AngularJS progressbar (http://victorbjelkholm.github.io/ngProgress/)
- NetApp python SDK libraries			# NaServer.py, NaElement.py.  Tested with SDK5. Available from NetApp

Deployment

No building required, simply use git to checkout the project where you want to run from (ie: /var/www/html) After checking out the project, edit the snapmgr/config.ini to set the connection info for your NetApp SVM. deploy_snapmgr.sh is a wrapper script you can use to deploy snapmgr (and update it subsequently)

config.ini Details - see example config.ini included in project for syntax

  1. [DEFAULT]

    • VolFilters : is a list of strings used to exclude volumes from being displayed on the page
    • Debug : Debug mode enables additional logging on the server side. It also enables Flask debugging and should be set to False in real deployments
    • AuthRequired : If true the LDAP connection info needs to be supplied. When a user hits the page they will need to input their LDAP username/password to access the page
    • LdapServer : Format is ldap(s)://<ldap.example.com>
    • BaseUserDn : Base search DN for LDAP users
    • TLSCACertFile : If using LDAPS a path to the cacert may be required
    • RFCRequired : If true for a specific environment, the server will check an RFC Database to ensure that an RFC is created before allowing a Snapshot Restore to proceed
  2. [GENERAL]

    • Environments : This is a list of NetApp environments to allow the user to connect to. Each string in this list must have a subsection with connection info.
  3. [RFCDBCONN]

    • Server : Server where RFC Database runs
    • Port : Port to connect to the RFC Database on
    • DB : Name of the RFC database
    • User/Password : User/Password of user who has access to RFC database (read-only access is enough)
    • Driver : Driver used by pyodbc to connect to database (ie: PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc)
  4. [ENVIRONMENTS] One [ENV] section is required for each string in Environments parameter.

These parameters override anything specified in the DEFAULT section.

- NAHost		: hostname or IP address of NetApp SVM to connect to
- User/Password	: User/Password of user who has been given access to ONTAP within NetApp SVM
- Debug			: You can set parameters in each environment section. 
	For example, set Debug: True in [TEST] section to enable debugging for only the TEST environment. 
	Don't include Debug in the [PROD] and it will default to the Debug value set in [DEFAULT] section 

This app requires the NetApp python libraries (NaServer.py, NaElement.py) to communicate with the NetApp SVM. These libraries are not included in this project but are available from the vendor.

Dump of installation/setup (on Fedora 22)

[rgroten@rgroten-fed ~] $ git clone rlx7009:/git/NetAppSnapManager
[rgroten@rgroten-fed ~] $ cd NetAppSnapManager
[rgroten@rgroten-fed NetAppSnapManager] $ sudo dnf install python-virtualenv gcc-c++ openldap-devel unixODBC-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
[rgroten@rgroten-fed NetAppSnapManager] $ virtualenv env
[rgroten@rgroten-fed NetAppSnapManager] $ source env/bin/activate
(env)[rgroten@rgroten-fed NetAppSnapManager] $ pip install -r snapmgr/requirements.txt
[rgroten@rgroten-fed NetAppSnapManager] $ ./deploy_snapmgr.sh

For simple testing purposes, you can now run the app using Flask's built-in webserver (NOT to be used for real/prod environments):

(env)[rgroten@rgroten-fed NetAppSnapManager] $ cd snapmgr
(env)[rgroten@rgroten-fed snapmgr] $ python snapmgr.py
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5001/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
 * Restarting with stat
