Autosupport Configuration Instructions

Please refer to the below settings for configuring your autosupports and let us know if you have any questions. Be advised that when you put "test” or “testing" in the message portion, it does not send a complete autosupport, and it also invokes a response from NetApp if you have options autosupport.support.enable on, which you may turn off if you no longer wish to send NetApp logs. We usually recommend putting the Ticket number or doit in the message section. If you turn off this option, you may also want to turn off autosupport.support.reminder [on|off], otherwise you will keep getting notifications that the other option is turned off. Instructions for Cluster-Mode (cDOT) are below the instructions for 7-Mode.
