Event Summary

Starting ONTAP 9.3 an AutoSupport message "Bridge Unexpected Reboot" is sent whenever an ATTO FibreBridge reboots unexpectedly.

Unexpected reboots are all reboots other than:

  • planned reboot (firmware restart) 
  • configuration change that requires a reboot
  • firmware upgrade
  • power on

  1. Check if all bridges are currently online and healthy:

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.
