We just had a disk failure on a nSeries box. No big deal. Usually when a problem come up, autosuport gets sent, and IBM nSeries support shoots us an email back within minutes to work on the problem. This time I had nothing from them for hours. So I ran a manual autosupport and opened a case. IBM responded almost immediately. He said they had my manually sent autosupport but said it was corrupt and unusable. Hmmmmmmm
We use HTTPS for autosupport since SMTP failed due to attachments being too big for our email setup.
He asked me to change to SMTP and run autosupport again, which I did, and he got it and it was good. Interesting, the attachments must have made it through.
Now, the fun . . .
He said they hadn't received a autosupport since 12/19/2016. It's a known problem within IBM and they haven't been able to fix. My impression is that anyone using HTTPS autosupport is affected. He thinks changing to HTTP will fix it if we don't want SMTP. I have to open another case to get more info.
So, autosupports haven't been working for over a month, the problem is within IBM, and nothing was said!!!!
Can I say that we are just a little upset?

Richard,
There was a known issue on some pre 8.2 7 mode code that effectively didn't trust newer ssl certificates used by the auto support https servers. What code are you running? I had a dozen or so systems I had to patch late last year to address this.

Sounds a bit like the NetApp Customer Communique that was send last November.
https://kb.netapp.com/support/s/article/https-autosupport-messages-will-fail...
Title
HTTPS AutoSupport messages will fail to reach NetApp from your storage systems after NetApp AutoSupport server X.509 certificate renewal in November 2016
Summary
Due to industry-mandated SSL and code signing requirements for X.509 certificates, storage systems running Data ONTAP 8.1.x will fail to send AutoSupport messages to NetApp via HTTPS when its AutoSupport server certificates are renewed with SHA-256 signed certificates on November 17, 2016. Once AutoSupport messages stop being received by NetApp, automatic support case creation no longer occurs and troubleshooting data is not available.
