Issue

  • System health alert reporting the below alert:
   cluster::> system health alert show
               Node: node-08
           Resource: switch_name1(FXXXXXXX1234)
           Severity: Minor
    Indication Time: Fri Nov 11 03:29:34 2022
           Suppress: false
        Acknowledge: false
     Probable Cause: Login failed to Ethernet switch "switch_name1(FXXXXXXX1234)". Cannot collect tech-support logs.
    Possible Effect: Ethernet switch tech-support logs are not available in
                     AutoSupport(R) messages for troubleshooting.
 Corrective Actions: 1) To set up public SSH key authentication on the Ethernet switch,
                     run the "system switch ethernet log setup-password" command.
                     ONTAP(R) software requires one-time use of the Ethernet switch's administrative login credentials
                     to set up the public SSH key for ONTAP access.
                     The administrative credentials will be discarded after the setup command is complete.
                     2) If public SSH key authentication is already configured, log in to the Ethernet switch
                     with administrative credentials from an SSH host or serial console to investigate the login failures.
                     3) To disable tech-support log collection, run the
                     "system switch ethernet log disable-collection"
                     command.
