General storage system management

You manage a storage system using the Data ONTAP operating system. You edit configuration files to supply information that Data ONTAP needs to perform certain tasks. You can use FilerView to perform most administrative tasks from a Web-based user interface.

Note: You can perform tasks in FilerView according to the capabilities that have been granted to the roles assigned to the group(s) to which your user account belongs. For information about administrator access, groups, and roles, see the Data ONTAP System Administration Guide. If you are unable to exercise capabilities that you think you should be authorized to perform, see your system administrator.
