Applies to
ONTAP 9
Issue
- Autosupport transmissions intermittently fail for one node:
::> autosupport history show -node Node-02 -seq-num 7870 -instance
Node: Node-02
AutoSupport Sequence Number: 7870
Destination for This AutoSupport: http
Trigger Event: callhome.performance.data
Time of Last Update: 4/26/2024 03:29:24
Status of Delivery: transmission-failed
Delivery Attempts: 15
AutoSupport Subject: PERFORMANCE DATA
Delivery URI: support.netapp.com/put/AsupPut/
Last Error: OpenSSL SSL_read: Operation timed out, errno 60
Time of Generation: 4/26/2024 00:00:04
- Autosupports are sent successfully for all the remaining nodes in the cluster.
- From the
NOTIFYD.GZ
logs of the impacted node, it is observed that ONTAP can successfully collect the logs but the connection is closed due to operation timeout:
