Does the automatic deactivation mechanism still apply after re-enabling ONTAPI?
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Answer
- Yes, the automatic deactivation mechanism still applies after re-enabling ONTAPI.
- ONTAPI (ZAPI) is automatically disabled if it is not used for a certain period (default: 30 days).
- Re-enabling ONTAPI is not a permanent setting; if unused for another 30 days, it will be disabled again.
- To keep ONTAPI enabled, it must be used regularly; otherwise, it will continue to be automatically disabled after periods of inactivity.
