ONTAP user interfaces
ONTAP data management software offers multiple interfaces you can use to manage your ONTAP clusters. These interface options provide different levels of access and functionality and give you the flexibility to manage your ONTAP clusters as appropriate based on your environment.
You can use any of these interfaces to administer your ONTAP clusters and perform data management operations
ONTAP System Manager
ONTAP System Manager is a web-based user interface that provides a simplified and intuitive way to manage your cluster. You can administer common operations such as storage configuration, data protection, and network setup and management. ONTAP System Manager also provides risk and cluster performance monitoring and insights to help you react to cluster issues and get ahead of issues before they occur. Learn more.
ONTAP 9.7 marked an important juncture for ONTAP System Manager. In that release, our company delivered two versions of ONTAP System Manager, introducing a redesigned, more streamlined and intuitive version along with the version that preceded ONTAP 9.7.
ONTAP command line interface
The ONTAP command line interface (CLI) is a text-based interface that allows you to interact with a cluster, node, SVM, and more using commands. CLI commands are available based on role type. You can access the ONTAP CLI through SSH or a console connection to a node in the cluster.
