NetApp scheduled maintenance:  Please make note of the date.

NetApp is planning to undergo significant system maintenance starting Friday,

November 9, 2018 at 10 PM EST and continuing through Saturday, November 10, 2018

at 10 AM EST.

During this time, some support activities will be disrupted, which will slow or impair

Customer Support activities. Additional information, including timeframes, specific

impacts, and workarounds will be published and communicated in late September.

NetApp advises, if possible, to avoid scheduling major upgrades, maintenance,

installations, or migrations during this weekend. Customer impacts are likely to include

reduced access to online case submission and status (via mysupport.netapp.com and

Active IQ mobile app) and delays in processing AutoSupportTM cases and core file

uploads.

NetApp Support teams will be available and on alert, with capability to support all

customer needs. However, it is to be advised that some case handling may be slowed

due to potential delays in access to information.

NetApp is performing this important system maintenance in order to improve our overall system

capability and reliability, which will further enhance NetApp’s Support offerings.

Friday November 9th, 2018 (Starting 10:00 p.m. EST) Maintenance Impacts:
