Applies to

  • NetApp Console
  • On-Prem ONTAP cluster

Issue

After Discovery of NetApp Cluster in NetApp Console, emails for approval of command "set -privilege diagnostic -confirmations off" are being sent daily.

Cause

This email is expected when the NetApp cluster discovered in NetApp Console has MAV enabled.

Solution

  • MAV is designed to enhance security by requiring multiple administrators to verify certain operations, thereby preventing unauthorized changes.
  • We can disable MAV for a specific command using the following command:

Example:

Cluster::> security multi-admin-verify rule delete -operation "cluster date modify"

  • If we want to permanently disable MAV for all the rules that have been created, execute the following command:

Cluster::::> security multi-admin-verify modify -enabled false

Note: Currently, it is not possible to configure NetApp-Console to stop sending these email alerts. Disabling MAV from ONTAP CLI will stop the alerts, as it removes the requirement for multi-admin verification for the specified operations.
