The Flash Cache report is, as stated, simply reporting enabled capacity. It is not (currently) showing operational efficiency of the Flash Cache component. This report is not really useful when run against a system. It's more interesting when looking at your entire NetApp infrastructure across a site or company. Here's an example of the report from a company with a large storage footprint of NetApp systems. ... View more

If possible, examine EMS event logs and messages files for any problems with the storage controller's collection and transmission of the Performance Data AutoSupport message. If there are problems, open a technical case with NetApp Support and be ready to provide the info from the logs, as well as the notifyd.log file (for 8.0 systems) in the /etc/log/mlog (7-Mode) or /mroot/etc/log/mlog (Cluster-Mode) directory. If there's nothing amiss at the storage controller end, then file a support site ticket about My AutoSupport missing performance data for your specific systems at http://now.netapp.com/willows/pri/feedback.do -Andris ...

Do you recall what was the last action made with the S300? It would be good to connect to the console port and check for relevant messages. If you had issued halt and bye to halt the S300, you may need to power cycle the unit. See: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=330894 ... View more

Thanks for the system ID's for looking up. This doesn't appear to be related to My AutoSupport - there appear to be problems with the systems being able to send typical content-rich AutoSupports via the customer's SMTP servers. This is somewhat supported by the fact that the simple "noteto" e-mails are getting through without problems.  It's likely to be an incompatibility with the customer's anti-spam/anti-malware/anti-virus scanning functionality in place for e-mail. I'd open a support case for further technical assistance. -Andris ... View more

Spence covered most of your questions. To be really clear... Customers can only receive AutoSupport via SMTP, using "autosupport.to". Note: This is a filtered destination - only important AutoSupport messages are sent. Partners (or Customers) can receive all AutoSupport transmissions (SMTP only), using "autosupport.partner.to". (7.3.x feature) NetApp Support can receive via the selected transport protocol, all AutoSupport messages. - If HTTP/HTTPS is selected, then they are sent to "autosupport.support.url" - optionally via a proxy (if specified) - If SMTP is selected, then they are sent to "autosupport.support.to" - Note: These NetApp Support destinations are hardcoded. If you do change it, they would revert back after a reboot. I hope that helps. ... View more

Hi gridley, The new aggregated (by site or company) performance tab allows you to perform .csv exports of the related performance tables. Unfortunately, the actual graphs are not exportable - the only thing I can think of is screen-scraping it. Why don't you click on the "online support" link at the top right corner of the web page and submit your request for enhancement. Please be as detailed as possible with your requirements in the ticket. https://now.netapp.com/willows/pri/feedback.do Thanks, -Andris ... View more

Hi Thorsten, Unfortunately, My AutoSupport does not display AutoSupports from the DFM suite of management software products, so customers cannot use My AutoSupport to verify receipt of the DFM AutoSupport message. The customer can contact their NetApp representative (or tech support) to request receipt verification using internal access methods. The DFM FAQ's include AutoSupport topics. https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=3012309 Choose the appropriate release link, and look for the AutoSupport category in the resulting FAQ. For instance, this question is relevant: 20.3 Can I test the autosupport feature to see what it will send back to NetApp? Yes. You can have an autosupport sent to yourself by e-mail by running the following command: $ dfm autosupport send -e <your-e-mail-address@your-domain.com> -p smtp -Andris ... View more

David, I'm sorry that it was hard to find where you can customize notifications for one of your systems in My AutoSupport. For other reading this thread, look for this icon/link at the bottom-right side of a system's dashboard page (attached file). The WEEKLY_LOG AutoSupport message is in that notifications page, but you might have to scroll down to see it. Click on the "INFO" category. Then scroll down to find the WEEKLY_LOG choice (it's alphabetical). -Andris ... View more

Hi Michael, If you're taking about the system warning LED on the physical controller, that typically indicates a hardware component failure/degradation. It would not be related to this "sam.misconfig" warning in HealthCheck. I would examine the environment, storage and EMS/messages files for evidence of a hardware problem.  If it's not obvious, open up a case with NetApp Tech Support. -Andris Message was edited by: Andris Dindzans ...

Jason, if you don't mind taking the time to do this, please open a technical case for the System Manager problem and ask the support engineer to open a bug report. Thanks, -Andris ... View more

Yup. The options is autosupport.support.transport, which implies it only affects the way you send the AutoSupport messages to NetApp only. autosupport.to and autosupport.partner.to always use SMTP, so the mailhost config is essential to make that work. (setting the .from field is a good idea, too). -Andris ... View more

As stated earlier, the quickest way to fix this is to VLAN in your administrative subnet via one of your Ethernet interfaces - this not only provides you the interface you need to reach your SMTP gateway for AutoSupport, it will also give you a fully functional management interface for Telnet/SSH, FilerView, etc. I also wanted to clarify what the BMC does w.r.t. AutoSupport transmissions. The BMC sends a very small subset of AutoSupport message events - they are ones that are considered severe in nature (system is down, abnormally rebooted). The BMC does NOT act as any kind of proxy for AutoSupport messages originating from the system itself. As stated earlier, the BMC reads the AutoSupport configuration information (options) from its host system. Therefore, as you have things configured right now, the BMC is capable of sending that subset of severe AutoSupport messages. You can test that via the BMC CLI, if you like. However, if you'd like to get full automation from AutoSupport and corresponding usage of the My AutoSupport portal, you'll need to provide that IP path via an administrative interfaces (VLAN'ed, if you like).
