Enable automatic updates

Contributors

Beginning with ONTAP 9.10.1, you can enable automatic updates to allow ONTAP to download and install firmware updates without your intervention.

Beginning in ONTAP 9.13.1, these automatic updates also include automatic Time Zone Database updates.

Before you begin

You must have a current support entitlement. This can be validated on the NetApp support site in the System Details page.

About this task

To enable automatic updates, you must first enable AutoSupport with HTTPs. If AutoSupport is not enabled on your cluster, or if AutoSupport is enabled on your cluster with another transport protocol, you will be given the option to enable it with HTTPs during this procedure.

Steps
  1. In System Manager, click Events.

  2. In the Overview section, next to Enable automatic update, click Actions>Enable.

  3. If you do not have AutoSupport with HTTPs enabled, select to enable it.

  4. Accept the terms and conditions and select Save.
