Is there a way to automatically monitor and notify the connection status between Cloud Volumes ONTAP and Cloud Manager?
Applies to
Cloud Manager
Cloud Volumes ONTAP
Answer
If Cloud Volumes ONTAP deployed with Pay-as-you-go loses communication with Cloud Manager, Cloud Volumes ONTAP logs will show that license is going to expire, and there is a fourteen day grace period.
The following EMS events can be used to monitor and notify:
Message Name: license.subscription.reminder
Severity: NOTICE
Description: This message occurs when your Cloud ONTAP(R) license subscription is going to expire soon.
Corrective Action: Contact your sales representative to renew your subscription as soon as possible.
SNMP Trap Type: Severity-based
Is Deprecated: false
Message Name: license.subscription.warning
Severity: ALERT
Description: This message occurs when your Cloud ONTAP(R) license subscription is nearly expired.
Corrective Action: Contact your sales representative to renew your subscription immediately, to avoid any disruption.
SNMP Trap Type: Severity-based
Is Deprecated: false
Message Name: license.subscription.enforcement
Severity: EMERGENCY
Description: This message occurs when your Cloud ONTAP(R) license subscription has expired but may still be renewed.
Corrective Action: Contact your sales representative to have your subscription reactivated.
SNMP Trap Type: Severity-based
Is Deprecated: false
Additional Information
Cloud Volumes ONTAP systems will shut down after losing communication with Cloud Manager for longer than 14 days.
This behavior is only relevant to Pay-as-you-go but not for BYOL(Bring your own license).
