After you unzipped the file vsim_netapp-7m.tgz you have to open DataONTAP.vmx in VMware Fusion. The virtual network cards are configured as “Host-only” by default and only reachable from the host actually running the VM. To be able to communicate with the VMs in your normal network you should switch them to “Bridged”.

Hint: If you do not want to install the client and all software needed by it on your web server you can also try getting a certificate with the help of this website which leeds you through the steps to manually request a certificate.

On December 3rd, 2015 Let’s Encrypt entered Public Beta. So now you can get a SSL certificate for free without waiting period. At home I use a Cubietruck (device similar to the Raspberry Pi) as ny own personal cloud. Here I want to show how I configured Nginx with a SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt.

At first you have to install the Let’s Encrypt client installiert. The installer downloads and installs debian packages needed and sets up an environment for the client in ~/.local/share:

hostname:~# git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
hostname:~# cd letsencrypt
hostname:~/letsencrypt# ./letsencrypt-auto

To test NetApp vFiler DR and other NetApp features you can use Data ONTAP Simulator. At the end of this series of articles you have 2 7-Mode NetApps with all licenses needed and vFiler DR configured. I use VMware Fusion on Mac OS X to run the Data ONTAP Simulator but VMware Workstation and VMware Player should work quite the same.

After an update from TYPO3 version 4.5 to 6.2 the system extension “Frontend Editing” (feedit) no longer worked. The icons for editing the content were not shown. Users are all member of an user group with this TSconfig:

admPanel {
  enable.edit = 1
  module.edit.forceNoPopup = 1
  module.edit.forceDisplayFieldIcons = 0
  module.edit.displayIcons = 1
  module.edit.forceDisplayIcons = 1
  hide = 1
}

If you want to add parameters to your PowerShell Script you have to define them. In this defintion you also specify the data type. A simple example to get the idea:

# definition of parameters
Param(
    [string]$StringParameter,
    [bool]$BooleanParameter = $False,
    [int]$IntegerParameter = 10,
    [switch]$SwitchParameter
)

# output of the parameter values
Write-host "StringParameter: $StringParameter"
Write-host "BooleanParameter: $BooleanParameter"
Write-host "IntegerParameter: $IntegerParameter"
Write-host "SwitchParameter: $SwitchParameter"
