The configuration files

Some of the configuration files in the /etc directory can be edited to affect the behavior of the storage system.

If a configuration file can be edited by the system administrator, it is listed in Section 5 of the man pages for your storage system. To edit a configuration file, use an editor on your administration host.

For more information about the quotas file, see the Data ONTAP Storage Management Guide. For more information about other editable configuration files, see the man pages.

• How you edit configuration files
  Data ONTAP does not include an editor. You cannot edit files by using the system console or by establishing a Telnet session to the storage system. You must use an editor from an NFS client or a CIFS client to edit storage system configuration files.
