A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

How to Discover NetApp Filers

This task describes how to discover NetApp Filers.

Prerequisite - Set up protocol credentials

This discovery includes the NetApp protocol for NetApp WebServices. To use the NetApp protocol, configure the appropriate credentials and port to the NetApp WebService API. The discovery uses the NetApp ONTAP SDK to get information from NetApp Filers and clusters.

Prerequisite - Permissions

Note For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Online Help.

Ensure the user has the appropriate permissions on the Netapp Filer system to run the following discovery commands:

Run the discovery
Note For details on running jobs, refer to "Module/Job-Based Discovery" in the Universal CMDB Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Online Help.

Run the following jobs in the following order:
1. Run the Range IPs by ICMP job.
2. Run the Host Connection by SNMP job to identify NetApp Filers.
3. Run the NetApp Filer Connection by WebServices job to connect to NetApp Filers or clusters. For job details, see NetApp Filer Connection by WebServices Job.
4. Run the NetApp Filer by WebServices job. For job details, see NetApp Filer by WebServices Job.
