MyAutoSupport diplaying half informations

[#1]

Good morning everyone,

I just configured the autosupport in HTPPS for a customer Aff200 in Ontap 9.1. The command autosupport check show-details displays no erros.

Commands autosupport history show shows everything has been send in https. Note that our smtp configuration is not working, we are using smtp.office365.com as the smtp relay, but it's something else.

So now I connect to "My AutoSupport", going to the customer dashboard and see that everything is blank. So i used the command : "system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message "WEEKLY_LOG" -force true".

Then refreshing the "new" Asup dashobard and still shows me in the tab "Autosupport Adoption" 0/2. I clic on it and I can see that it retrieves teh name of my cluster, his model, OS version and in the column "Last Autossuport" the time correspond to my command "system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message "WEEKLY_LOG" -force true".

So my AFF200 is registered in the Asup but I have nothing on dashobard (everything blank). When I go the Classic Autosupport I have a lot of incoherences :

The autossuports shows perfectly the number of aggregates,Volumes,Lifs and switches. But it can't display the SVMs for example and the rest and shows this message instead "Unable to retrieve performance counters for clusterID :XXXXXXXX".... You may look at the picture in the post.

Am I missing an option ? Thank for your help !

Best regards,

AmauryP

hello,

i recommend you open a support case. you have various issues which need to be diagnosed separately.

1. smtp

if using office365 follow the following:

From Mailhost:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/How-to-set-up-a-multifunction-device-or-application-to-send-email-using-Office-365-69f58e99-c550-4274-ad18-c8...

Requirements for SMTP client submission
Authentication: You must be able to configure a user name and password to send email on the device.

Mailbox: You must have a licensed Office 365 mailbox to send email from.

Transport Layer Security (TLS): Your device must be able to use TLS version 1.0 and above.

Port: Port 587 (recommended) or port 25 is required and must be unblocked on your network. Some network firewalls or ISPs block ports—especially port 25.

Configure in NetApp:

 

ONTAP 9 Documentation Center


system node autosupport modify

 
[-mail-hosts <text>, ...] - SMTP Mail Hosts

    Use this parameter to specify up to five SMTP mail hosts through which the node sends AutoSupport messages. This parameter is required if you specify e-mail addresses in the -to, -noteto, or -partner-address parameters or if you specify smtp in the -transport parameter. Separate multiple mail hosts with commas with no spaces in between. The AutoSupport delivery engine attempts to use these hosts for delivery in the order that you specify.

 

    You can optionally specify a port value for each mail server. A port value can be specified on none, all, or some of the mail hosts. The port specification for a mail host consists of a colon (":") and a decimal value between 1 and 65335, and follows the mailhost name (for example, mymailhost.example.com:5678 ). The default port value is 25.

 

    Also, you can optionally prepend a user name and password combination for authentication to each mail server. The format of the username and password pair is user1:pw1@mymailhost.example.com. The username and password can be specified on none, all, or some of the mail hosts.

Note that if you mailhost requires the email address for the login then you  need to modify the setting and change the (@ symbol for %40)  per this bug-

http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=851157

 

Sooo , for the mailhost they would configure it like so:


username%40companydomain.com:Test123!@smtp.office365.com:587

2. myautosupport portal

this requires about 24 hours after setting up Autosupport. if the issue still persists we need to look at the:

- Cluster and check if the performance counters are being collected.

or

-look at myautosupport portal for possible issues.

[#3]

Might be due to the size of the autosupports and the limit that is imposed for SMTP. Use HTTPS for autosupports instead which supports higher transmission sizes. This worked for me...

Maximum HTTP Size: 50MB
Maximum SMTP Size: 5 - 20MB 

[#4]

We have autosupport configured using below syntax but is getting authentication error for SMTP. Tried the same credential using PowerShell email and it is working. 

username%40companydomain.com:Test123!@smtp.office365.com:587

any idea what's wrong? Opened case 2007504160 but no progress. Thanks.

[#5]

I would use HTTPS because of the size limits. It looks like you have confgured http as its showing successful. I would disable smtp.

[#6]

Autosupports sending to NetApp Support portal are received, but the recipient email addresses (-to field) are not receiving the autosupport email. 

[#7]

have you checked your perimeter smtp relays to allow the email address? check the logs there to see if its gone out

[#8]

when using office 365 as the mailhost you must check if starttls is required. ONTAP does not support starttls

NetApp SMTP servers support encrypted mail transfer utilizing STARTTLS functionality. However, the initial email submission from client storage clusters to the
client SMTP server do not support STARTTLS encryption.

meaning:

-not supported  from the node to the smtp server

-allowed from the smtp server relaying to NetApp.com

microft kb for using 365 .

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/How-to-set-up-a-multifunction-device-or-application-to-send-email-using-Office-365-69f58e99-c550-4274-ad18-c8...

i added a note to the Case , so you may get an email with the same info i just provided.

[#9]

Thanks Logan. For the office365 SMTP setup, I see that both option 1 (Client Submission) and option 2 (Direct Send) require startTLS protocol enabled. Does it mean that customer must use option 3 in order to send email internally and externally to NetApp support from NetApp controller?

Option 3: Configure a connector to send mail using Office 365 SMTP relay

This option is more difficult to implement than the others. Only choose this option when:

• SMTP client submission (Option 1) is not compatible with your business needs or with your device

• You can't use direct send (Option 2) because you must send email to external recipients.

SMTP relay lets Office 365 relay emails on your behalf by using your public IP address (or a certificate) to authenticate Office 365. To do this, you'll need to set up a connector for your Office 365 account, which is what makes this a more complicated configuration.

Thanks for your advice.
