Management node overview
You can use the management node (mNode) to use system services, manage cluster
assets and settings, run system tests and utilities, configure Active IQ for system
monitoring, and enable NetApp Support access for troubleshooting.
For clusters running Element software version 11.3 or later, you can work with the management node by using
one of two interfaces:
• With the management node UI
cluster settings, run system tests, or use system utilities.
• With the built-in REST API UI
to the management node services, including proxy server configuration, service level updates, or asset
management.
