Is it okay to have a time gap between Security Config Modify and node reboot?
Applies to
Pre ONTAP 9.9.1 releases
Answer
- Yes, it is acceptable to modify the security configuration first and then wait for a period before rebooting all the nodes for the changes to take effect.
- Security configuration changes are not fully applied until all nodes in the cluster have been rebooted.
Additional Information
- Beginning with ONTAP 9.9.1 and later releases, manual reboot is not required after modifying the security configuration.
