The BlueXP digital wallet enables you to view contract details for each of your on-prem ONTAP clusters. If you haven't discovered a cluster in BlueXP yet, you can also discover them from the digital wallet.

Before you begin

The BlueXP digital wallet displays details about the on-premises ONTAP clusters that you discovered as a working environment or that are associated with a NetApp Support Site account that you added to BlueXP.

View cluster information and contract details

View the status of the hardware and software contracts for your on-premises ONTAP clusters so that you can renew them before they expire.

Steps

  1. From the BlueXP navigation menu, select Governance > Digital wallet.

  2. Select On-Premises ONTAP.

    The Software Contract and Hardware Contract expiration dates appear on the line for each cluster.

    If you are prompted to enter your NetApp Support Site (NSS) account credentials first, select Add NSS Account. After you add the account, the clusters associated with that NSS account appear.

  3. If the contract is close to the expiration date, or has expired, you can select the chat icon in the lower-right of the BlueXP console to request an extension to the contract.

  4. To view more details, select A down-caret icon to expand the cluster information.

Discover clusters

If you haven't discovered an on-premises ONTAP cluster as a working environment, you can do that from the BlueXP digital wallet. Once discovered, a cluster is available as a working environment in BlueXP so that you can manage it.

Before you begin

You should understand your discovery and management options (discovery using a Connector or direct discovery without a Connector) as well as discovery requirements.

Learn about discovery options and requirements.

Steps

  1. From the BlueXP navigation menu, select Governance > Digital wallet.

  2. Select On-Premises ONTAP.

    Your ONTAP clusters display with a status of whether they have been discovered in BlueXP.

    If you are prompted to enter your NetApp Support Site (NSS) account credentials first, select Add NSS Account. After you add the account, the clusters associated with that NSS account appear.

  3. Select Discover for the cluster that you want to manage through BlueXP.

  4. On the Discover ONTAP Cluster page, enter the password for the admin user account and select Discover.

Result

BlueXP discovers the cluster and adds it as a working environment in the Canvas. The status for the cluster turns to Discovered in the On-Premises ONTAP page. Note that the working environment name is the name of the cluster.
