Hi,

This is a semi pressing issue where no matter what method I use to install the TGZ update file (server or local), both methods 

fail

I'm trying to upgrade from  9.9.1P7 to 9.12.1P4

I'm aware of the following KB: When uploading an OS image from the system manager, request timeout occurs - NetApp Knowledge Base

and 

System Manager fails to upload ONTAP image due to insufficient space - NetApp Knowledge Base

But I haven't been able to get it to work. I've also opened up a case with NetApp but they have not gotten back to met yet

Good day, i am running OnCommand System Manager ver 3.1.1 on Windows.

Today, for the very first time, i have seen this issue: i can connect to my 3210 running DataONTAP 8.0.3P2 7-mode, but when i try to reach my new 2240 running DataONTAP 8.1.3P3 7-mode i recieve an error 500 "connection refused".

I have found this workaround: on the 2240s i have issued the command >options httpd.admin.enable on ;

after this the OnCommand System Manager probably still tries a secure connection, on the console i see errors like 

[hostname: HTTPPool03:warning]: HTTP XML Authentication failed from MyClientIP . 

But now i guess OnCommand System Manager falls back to a non secure connection, i see the question "do you want to set up a secure connection or continue without...", i answer "continue without" and i'm able to manage my filers again.

What's happened? Maybe something java updates related? Thanks in advance.

In today's fast-paced IT landscape, the task of supervising and scrutinizing a broad spectrum of components, from intricate container architectures and powerful compute to sophisticated storage systems, can appear to be a significant undertaking.

With alert fatigue becoming an increasingly common problem among IT teams, Cloud Insights showcases its stronghold in the field, offering a comprehensive solution to optimize your IT infrastructure by reducing the noise and tracking every change, and providing insights into how changes affect Kubernetes health, availability, and performance.

Comprehensive Understanding of Your IT Infrastructure

NetApp Cloud Insights is a powerful tool that helps you keep an eye on all parts of your IT systems.

This all-encompassing visibility allows IT owners to understand how systems are performing and how to optimize them for better efficiency and reliability.

With Cloud Insights, you can track crucial metrics that reflect the health and performance of your systems. These metrics should be well-defined, actionable, informative, and impactful. They should provide valuable and relevant information about the systems being monitored and should be closely tied to the potential issues that could affect your business operations.

Tackling Alert Fatigue

Alert fatigue can be a significant issue in complex IT environments. It occurs when teams are overwhelmed by a flood of alerts, many irrelevant or nonactionable, leading to the potential overlooking of critical alerts. Cloud Insights addresses this by focusing on delivering alerts that truly matter.

Cloud Insights comes equipped out of the box with the ability to set up alerts that are immediately actionable and impactful, allowing teams to focus on significant events that could influence the system's health, availability, and performance.

The process can be customized to match your specific infrastructure and business requirements, ensuring the alerts you receive are timely, relevant, and valuable, including corrective actions.

Setting the appropriate thresholds is a vital part of this strategy, contributing to smoother operations and fewer disruptions. This approach keeps your team's attention on critical issues while reducing unnecessary noise and distractions.

Hi

I'd like to update to a higher version of ONTAP to address a pretty severe bug: SU530: [Impact Critical] NTLM authentication fails due to enforcement of Netlogon RPC sealing (Microsoft CVE-2022-38023) - NetApp Knowledge Base

In this case, 9.12.1P4 

However, all attempts at updating it through the ONTAP System Manager have failed. It either endlessly gives me the "Uploading" message or spits out the following error message: 

Internal Error: There is not sufficient space in the file upload directory to upload this file. Contact technical support for assistance.

I ended up using ::*> system services web file-uploads config modify -node * -size 7GB 

But this didn't resolve the issue. Please advise. We can only upload the file locally, and not using a server at present time

Greetings,

I am looking to add a banner "Click Box Banner"  to Oncommand System. Currently setup on cli. Does anyone have any info on this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

I just installed ONTAP 8.3.1 on new systems and I'm looking for a columns sort in volumes view in Oncommand System manager

Actually I can just filter.

It's missing or I did something wrong.

Help appreciated

François

I'm new to netapp and azure so please, bear with me. I follow these instructions to get NetApp in my Azure cloud. I created a volume share using the oncommand cloud manager. However, when I try to mount it, I get these errors. I also followed NetApps guide but I clearly missed something when it comes to permissions.

Any and all help is appreaciated. 

System Manager 3.1.2 won't start on any virtual machine I install the application on using either Windows 7 or 8.1

When starting the application I get the error message below:

UNable to access the SystemManager.ks file because OnCommand System Manager failed to authenticate the file. Delete the SystemManager.ks file and launch OnCommand System Manager again.

So having a look around it says that it should be located in C:\Users\%Username%\NetApp\SystemManager.ks the only problem is that file or folder don't exist.

What else can I try to get this working? it works fine from my laptop but I need to be able to use it from virtual machines as well.

Hi guys. Running C-Mode 9.3 clusters. I see system manager is baked into the cluster. Does this mean that any updates to system manager ship with the underlying OnTap version and hence to update system manager one updates the OnTap version?

Hello folks, please help me.

I don't get LDAP running in Grafana. Let me aks few questions, please?

How do I need to login in Grafana "domain\user", or "user@domain", or just "user"

I have in my base DNs spaces, such as "cn=Frank Schubert". Do I need to escape them somehow?

How can I check in CLI if auth is working? 

Would realllllly appreciate help...

regards Frank

Hello,

How I miss ONTAP 9.6 GUI. I just cannot understand what happened at NetApp to change System Manager in such a dramatic way. I am having trouble almost every time I need to find basic information on 9.7 "new experience".

Possibly the problem is on me, but even so, I cannot believe.

I would like to see storage efficiency gains for a specific volume. Where is it?

Regards,

Pedro Rocha.

Can you help.

i have the storevault s300 and dont have the storevault manager software to configure it. can you please tell me where to download it.

best regards,

franko.

As the title says, we cannot log in to the management system and we receive a 500 refused message. Sometimes we are able to log in to one controller but never two any more. No changes have been made to the configuration. The issues began when I upgraded my oncommand app. to 3.1.2. Rolling back did not help. I assumed it was a local PC issue with java or my browser and so I built a fresh VM install of Windows 7 but no matter what I try in terms of java version or oncommand version I still cannot log in, even with a vanilla Windows 7 install. 

As I'm a bit stuck, does the community have any pointers which I could try? The FAS's are coming up to 3 years old now, and they've not had any software upgraded either. I'm not sure if this is the cause. 

Thanks,

I suspect a network setup issue. The installation instructions for 8.2.1 for VMwrkstn say to use VMnet8 and also to use it's IP address as assigned (displayed via ipconfig) for cluster mgt and to ignore the gateway request; the gateway request can't be ignored so I used the same address. The Cluster appears to be up and a "net int show" displays the VMnet8 address for cluster_mgmt. I was also able to join in a 2nd controller.

I provided the Cluster Mgt (VMnet8) IP address and credentials to the "add" function in OnCmd and after a few seconds, the box line around the address turns red and a hover produces "500 Connection Refused".

OnCommand System Manager 3.1.3 for Windows will not install. I am on windows 10 and Java 8 is installed (and reinstalled).

The error is: "OnCommand System Manager requires you to install a 64-bit Java 8 software." Java 8 Update 141 is installed.
