Cautions When Using ONTAP 9.8/ONTAP 9.9.1
If a node name is changed in ONTAP 9.8/ONTAP 9.9.1, the management gateway may stop working
after an upgrade to ONTAP 9.10.1 or later.
If a node name is changed on ONTAP 9.8 or ONTAP 9.9.1, rename the node to the original name
before the upgrade.
Cautions When Using ONTAP 9.10.1
In ONTAP 9.10.1, if the following string is included in the volume name, the volume may not be dis-
played in ONTAP System Manager.
Example: __1234 (*1)
*1: Two underscores "_" followed by a four digit number
In ONTAP 9.10.1, do not use the above string as part of the volume name.
Cautions When Using ONTAP 9.10.1 P11
When the Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) function is used together with SVM-DR, the
snapshots created for ARP on the source SVM may not be deleted automatically. This may cause a
capacity shortage on the source SVM. Therefore, if ARP is used together with SVM-DR, monitor the
source SVM capacity regularly and delete any snapshots for ARP that are no longer needed.
Notes When Using ONTAP 9.11.1
● Setting the timeout period during an inactive state
A function to set the timeout period during an inactive state is supported from ONTAP 9.11.1.
A pop-up appears to confirm whether to log out when one minute remains.
If the specified value is too small, GUI operations may be affected because the pop-up appears
immediately.
To change the inactivity timeout period to a shorter time, set the value at least five minutes or
longer.
• This command requires advanced privileges to run.
• To check the setting of the switchless cluster option, run the command shown below. This
command also requires advanced privileges to run.
• The ONTAP versions without the issue of the switchless cluster option setting are ONTAP 9.7
P12 or later, or ONTAP 9.8 or later.
• If the ONTAP version is reverted to 9.7 P5, a workaround must be performed for the issue of
the switchless cluster option setting after the reversion. Contact your Fujitsu maintenance
engineer for the workaround before reverting the ONTAP version to 9.7 P5.
