Is there any impact on the environment using the ONTAP Antivirus Connector when recreating the certificate?

Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • ONTAP AV Connector

Answer

  • SSL services are disabled when the certificate is recreated and must be manually enabled while the certificate is not expired.
  • If manually disabled for a long time, it may affect the over HTTPS zapi polling that the ONTAP Antivirus Connector does for SVM data lif in default of 60 seconds.
  • Therefore, please schedule the maintenance window for recreating the certificate.

Note:

Renewing expired certificates will not have any impact as they are already expired.
