Beginning with ONTAP 9.17.1, you can use Autonomous Ransomware Protection with Artificial Intelligence (ARP/AI) to protect data on your ASA r2 system. If you are planning an unusual workload event, you can temporarily suspend ARP/AI analysis to prevent false positives. After the event is complete, you can resume ARP/AI analysis.

Pause ARP/AI

Before you begin an unusual workload event, you might need to temporarily suspend ARP/AI analysis to prevent false positives.

Steps

  1. In System Manager, select Storage.

  2. Select the storage units for which you want to pause ARP/AI.

  3. Select Pause anti-ransomware.

Result

ARP/AI analysis is paused for the selected storage units, and no suspicious activity is reported to you in System Manager until you resume ARP/AI.

Resume ARP/AI

If you pause ARP/AI during an unusual workload, resume it after the workload is complete to protect your data against ransomware attacks.

Steps

  1. In System Manager, select Storage.

  2. Select the storage units for which you want to resume ARP/AI.

  3. Select Resume anti-ransomware.

Result

Analysis of potential ransomware attacks is resumed, and suspicious activity is reported to you in System Manager.
