Before performing the maintenance, you should issue an AutoSupport message
to notify NetApp technical support that maintenance is underway.
This prevents them from opening a case on the assumption that a disruption has
occurred.
About this task
This task must be performed on each MetroCluster site.
Procedure
To prevent automatic support case generation, send an
Autosupport message to indicate maintenance is underway.
-
Issue the following command: system node autosupport invoke
-node * -type all -message MAINT=maintenance-window-in-hours
maintenance-window-in-hours specifies the length of the
maintenance window, with a maximum of 72 hours. If the maintenance is
completed before the time has elapsed, you can invoke an AutoSupport
message indicating the end of the maintenance period:
system node autosupport invoke -node
* -type all -message MAINT=end
-
Repeat the command on the partner cluster.
