The systemshell is used for low-level diagnostic purposes.
As per the Netapp documentation, only the diagnostic account user, named “diag,” can access the systemshell.
systemname*> systemshell login: diag Password: WARNING: The systemshell provides access to low-level diagnostic tools that can cause irreparable damage to the system if not used properly. Use this environment only when directed to do so by support personnel. %whoami diag %exit logout systemname*>
However, it is possible to jump into the systemshell as root using the sudo command. This way is much faster because you don’t need to deal with the diag user problems (account locking, password changing, etc.).
