What permissions are required to add a cluster to AIQUM?
Applies to
Active IQ Unified Manager (AIQUM)
Answer
- To add an ONTAP cluster in AIQUM, you must have the user name and password to access the cluster
    - This account must have the admin role with Application access set to ontapi, ssh, and http
- Starting with AIQUM  9.11 the account must have Application access to ontapi, console, and http .
        - Domain users cannot be granted console access.
- Use CLI to add/modify clusters on AIQUM if domain users are needed
 
- See adding clusters for more information
 
- Use the command  security login showto display the current users plus their assigned role and application(s).- For simplicity and testing purposes use the default "admin" user seen below
 
cluster1::> security login show
Vserver: cluster1
                                                                 Second
