What is Netapp AutoSupport.?

AutoSupport is nothing but "call home" feature, which will be achieved by BMC / SP hardware inbuilt in the Netapp controllers.

 BMC / SP are the hardware parts to collect the events, logging, power status, temperature status, voltage and other hardware status. These hardware parts are connected with inbuilt battery when power is gone, still BMC / SP will not go off immediately it will send an alert and it will go off.
       
    Netapp autosupport will help technical support team to analyze the problem and they will get back to you immediately to you if any problem found in your Netapp filer.

in order to enable the auto support you have to below prerequisites:


  1. You should have internet connectivity to your Netapp filer
  2. Your mail server should support to send at  least 10MB file size
  3. From your network / firewall 443 port should be allowed towards to Netapp
