Resolve activity warnings in Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) before an ONTAP upgrade

Contributors netapp-dbagwell netapp-lenida

Before you upgrade to ONTAP 9.16.1 or later, you should respond to any abnormal activity warnings reported by Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP). In ONTAP 9.16.1, ARP changed to a machine learning/artificial intelligence (AI)-based model. Because of this change, any unresolved active warnings from the existing ARP in ONTAP 9.15.1 or earlier will be lost after upgrade.

Steps
  1. Respond to any abnormal activity warnings reported by ARP and resolve any potential issues.

  2. Confirm the resolution of these issues before upgrading by selecting Update and Clear Suspect File Types to record your decision and resume normal ARP monitoring.
