Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.8+
  • ActiveIQ Unified Manager (AIQUM)
  • Certificates

Answer

  • Cluster type certificates are created in ONTAP when EMS events are subscribed in AIQUM
  • These are needed to verify AIQUM as event notification destination with rest-api type
  • This is visible in ONTAP CLI via event notification destination show -type rest-api -instance

  • AIQUM ID can be verified from AIQUM maintenance_console or application-record show from ONTAP
  • These certificates validate themselves with the AIQUM server certificate which shows as type server-ca in ONTAP
  • These certificates are only verified during generation and never again
  • Hence, existing clusters will have no impact but a new addition of a cluster fails
  • EMS subscription will work as it is even if the client type certificates are expired
  • The old certificates can be removed from ONTAP only after renewed from AIQUM
