Answer

  • Yes, if the requirement is to receive notifications only when an abnormality occurs but not always, set the Recipient Category to GENERAL rather than PARTNER.
  • When set to PARTNER, all AutoSupport messages are sent on a daily basis.

Additional Information

Set up AutoSupport
  • GENERAL corresponds to the command of system node autosupport show -fields -to
  • PARTNER corresponds to the command of system node autosupport show -fields -partner-address
