Requirements for creating disks on a Vserver in Cluster-Mode

You must be aware of the configuration requirements before you create a disk on a Vserver in Cluster-Mode.

• Vserver administrator (vsadmin) account is unlocked.

  For more information on how to unlock a vsadmin account, see the Data ONTAP® 8.1 Cluster-Mode Commands: Manual Page Reference.

• SAN protocol is enabled and configured on the Vserver.
• Use HTTP or HTTPS protocol to connect or create a disk on a Vserver.

  RPC protocol is not supported in Cluster-Mode.

• You must use Vserver management LIF and set the management firewall policy, data role, and protocols to none.

For more information about Vserver and Vserver administrator capabilities, see the Data ONTAP Cluster-Mode Vserver Administrator Capabilities Overview Guide.
