Resolution

  • Verify if a support case is already open.
  • Usually no additional data is needed to root cause the issue (unless minimal AutoSupport messages are used).
  • A bridge core file might need to be uploaded on request of NetApp support.

Please contact NetApp Technical Support or log into the NetApp Support Site to create a technical case. Reference this article for further assistance.
