Applies to

  • NetApp Console
  • Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO)

Answer

  • No, Cloud Volumes ONTAP nodes no longer shutdown when the Connector is out of compliance or down for more than 14 days. 
  • Cloud Volumes ONTAP still sends Event Management messages when it loses access to the Connector.
  • This change is to ensure that Cloud Volumes ONTAP can continue to operate even if the Connector is down for an extended period of time, It does not change compliance requirements for the Connector.
  •  The CVO licenses are visible from the CLI with the following command
        • cluster::> system license show -package cloud

Additional Information

  • Review CVO release notes for more detail.
  • CVOs with PAYGO licenses will not shutdown even after 14-day grace period after the the license expires.
