Notes on the Manageability Software Development Kit
(SDK)
The Manageability Software Development Kit (SDK) is used to collect information when investigat-
ing the failures of various software.
Although this SDK is also a development kit required to create applications that monitor and man-
age ONTAP storage systems, Fujitsu shall not support the creation of applications using this SDK nor
support applications created using this SDK.
Do not use this SDK for purposes other than to collect information when investigating software fail-
ures.
Notes on Monitoring the Storage System
For storage system monitoring performed through a network such as with SNMP traps, transmission
of a failure notification may not be possible due to a network port failure. Additional monitoring
such as checking for network traffic or checking the network status using System Manager is rec-
ommended.
Be especially mindful of this for operations where only one node of an HA is assumed to be running
operations and the partner node is assumed to be a standby for a switchover in case of a failure. If a
failure on the partner node is left unnoticed, a switchover to the partner node may not be possible
which can lead to a service shutdown.
NVMe/TCP (Supported in ONTAP 9.10.1 and Later)
To use NVMe/TCP in a SAN environment of the ETERNUS AX1100/AX2100 or ETERNUS HX series
running ONTAP 9.10.1 or later, contact your Fujitsu or partner sales representative.
Cautions about CIFS
Disconnected Sessions after a CIFS Session Timeout
CIFS sessions are disconnected after a CIFS session timeout because of an idle timeout that occurs
on Linux or other SMB clients.
About CIFS Access from Non-Windows Hosts
Normally, CIFS access from non-Windows hosts is not supported.
Since NFS connection is recommended from Linux hosts, support for CIFS connection is on a best-
effort basis. When considering the use of CIFS access from non-Windows hosts, contact your sales
representative or partner sales representative.
