Hi all, I’m running into an issue where our monitoring team cannot receive traps from our ONTAP cluster. I've tried both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 configurations, but traps just aren't getting through. Environment: NetApp ONTAP [ 9.15.1P7] Monitoring system supports both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 I’ve configured the account with security login create and set up the host with snmp traphost add, verifying that the credentials matched on both our side and the monitoring team's, but traps still aren't coming through At this point I’m not sure if it’s a config gap on my side or a network/firewall issue. Any guidance, working config snippets, or troubleshooting steps would be much appreciated!

The client is experiencing slow performance when copying many files from a Windows 11 machine to his NetApp storage array. We used the same dataset (154 files / 15 MB). From a Windows 10 machine, the copy takes 20 to 30 seconds. From a Windows 11 machine, the copy takes 3 to 5 minutes. Same result from a clean Windows 11 installation. However, copying a large file (650 MB) shows no difference between Windows 10 and Windows 11 (around 20 to 40 seconds). Many things have been tried by my endpoint consultant on Windows 11 machine without success, so we suspect network port configuration attached to the NetApp Storage Array and/or maybe NetApp configuration.

In ONTAP 9.13.1, in the Trusted Certificate Authorities, one of them is named "admin." I vaguely understand this to be a built-in cert, but it's expired. The scope is at the cluster level, so I'm wondering what the implications are. Just doing a CSR for a CA-signed cert titled "admin" doesn't seem like best practice; but I was also led to believe that this principle may be tied to some critical components of the NetApp. That may be a misnomer given that the name is "admin" which is also the name of the local account. I could use some clarity on this; I'm a bit new to engineering NetApp. NOTE: Our NetApp is part of an air-gapped network.

Model: FAS8300 ONTAP version: 9.15.1 If I do "volume efficiency show -volume [volume] -instance", I see the following fields, which are clear: Inline Compression Inline Dedupe However, there are no corresponding fields for "Background Compression" or "Background Dedupe". There is a field called simply "Compression", but it's unclear what that specifically refers to. So my question is: How can I confirm at the command line whether or not background compression and background deduplication are enabled? Related question: For the field "Data Compaction", is that an inline or a background process? And one more related question: How do the volume-level fields above relate to an efficiency policy applied to the volume? Does the policy only apply to background efficiency settings, even though it can be set to run at a specific time as a "best -effort" (i.e. foreground) process? It's a little confusing!

I am trying to set cluster log-forward using protocol tcp-encrypted. As per below KB, I need to install a copy of the ONTAP self-signed certificate on the syslog appliance to allow proper TLS handshake. Which certificate of ONTAP I need to install in syslog server?
