Data ONTAP provides two sets of commands, depending on the privilege level, which can be administrative or advanced. You can set the privilege level by using the priv command.
At the administrative level, you have access to commands that are sufficient for managing your filer. At the advanced level, in addition to all commands available at the administrative level, you have access to commands for troubleshooting. Commands accessible only at the advanced level should be used under the guidance of Network Appliance Technical Support.
Caution
Advanced commands can be dangerous. Using some advanced commands without consulting Network Appliance Technical Support might result in data loss.
The console session and the Telnet session share the same privilege setting. For example, if you set the privilege level to advanced at the console, the advanced commands also become available to the administrator who is connected to the filer using Telnet.
You can, however, set a different privilege level for each invocation of rsh. Suppose your privilege level at the console is administrative and, through rsh, another administrator sets the privilege level to advanced. Your privilege level at the console remains unchanged.
The initial privilege level for the console and each rsh session is administrative.
Data ONTAP resets the privilege level to administrative for each rsh session. If you have a script invoking multiple rsh connections and you want to execute advanced commands in each connection, you must set the privilege level accordingly for each rsh session. If you set the privilege level for the first rsh session only, Data ONTAP fails to execute the advanced commands through the subsequent rsh sessions, because the privilege level for each subsequent session is administrative.
To set the privilege level, complete the following step.
