Your customer is working in a secure environment and will not allow the StorageGRID nodes to connect directly to the internet. The customer wants to take advantage of NetApp AutoSupport capabilities and automatic case creation.
How does the customer have to configure AutoSupport?
How does the customer have to configure AutoSupport?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
The correct configuration is to route StorageGRID AutoSupport traffic through an Admin proxy server.
NetApp states that when AutoSupport packages are transmitted using HTTPS, the primary Admin Node requires outbound access to NetApp Technical Support either directly or through a proxy server. This is specifically intended for secure environments where StorageGRID nodes cannot establish unrestricted direct internet connections.
The administrator configures this under Configuration > Security > Proxy settings > Admin, enables the Admin proxy, and specifies the proxy server hostname or IP address and port. Authentication credentials can also be supplied when required. Once configured, AutoSupport traffic from Admin Nodes to NetApp Technical Support is routed through this controlled proxy path.
This preserves normal AutoSupport functionality, including periodic and event-triggered AutoSupport packages, which support proactive monitoring and automatic support-case workflows. Manually uploading bundles, as in A, would not provide the desired automated behavior. Option B does not solve the connectivity restriction. Option C is also incorrect because AutoSupport On Demand is intended primarily for active troubleshooting and itself requires HTTPS connectivity; it does not replace normal automated AutoSupport delivery.
Therefore, D provides the required secure outbound connectivity while retaining automated NetApp support capabilities.
