Florian, AutoSupport in 8.1 has been significantly overhauled. From the release notes: https://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel81rc3/html/ontap/rnote/GUID-7089A00E-38D4-40D7-A397-AE70D253A5F3.html Excellent and updated information on AutoSupport is available in the System Administration Guide for 8.1. https://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel81rc3/pdfs/ontap/sysadmin.pdf One of the improvements is related to smoothing out the WEEKLY_LOG AutoSupport traffic at both customer sites and back at NetApp, as well as to solve problems with very large AutoSupport messages. To help with these issues: 1. Log files are separated from the WEEKLY LOG and sent daily, i.e. 7 chunks instead of 1 big weekly chunk 2. Performance data is now sent daily (PERFORMANCE DATA), i.e. 7 chunks instead of 1 big weekly chunk 3. Event-based AutoSupport messages send context-sensitive information I hope that helps clarify matters. ... View more

Ricardo, Can you be more explicit about what RFC's and AUTH methods you are asking for? I assume you're referring to ESMTP AUTH? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_SMTP E.g.

Can you download the entire AutoSupport from My AutoSupport? No. If you have access to the system, you can grab the last 40-50 AutoSupport collections (depending on DOT version) from /etc/log/autosupport. In 8.1, you have CLI that lets you specify any of those cached AutoSupport messages and retransmit them to arbitrary SMTP and HTTP destinations. If you feel there's a specific reason why this should be available from My AutoSupport, please elaborate. ... View more

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 ...

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 ...
