Are ONTAP cluster shell modify settings persistent across reboot?
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Answer
Yes. Cluster shell commands that modify settings (such as system services firewall modify, storage raid-options modify, etc.) are persistent after reboot.
Additional Information
Cluster shell modify commands update relational database (RDB) tables and sync across the cluster interconnect to ensure settings are persistent and consistent.
Example:
cluster::> system services firewall show

-------------- ------- -------
cluster-1a true false
cluster-1b true false

cluster::> system services firewall modify -node * -enabled false
