Problem:

How do I renew the SSL certificate used by a NetApp FAS or AFF Series?

Solution:

Run commands to set privileged mode and get the current security certificate information:

set -privilege advanced

security certificate show

 

Once you have identified the certificate that is expiring from the above, run the below command:

security certificate show -instance -vserver san -cert-name san_13DHDHSH233DJKDKD

or 

security certificate show -instance -vserver san -common-name san

 

Delete the old certificate:

security certificate delete -common-name san -ca san -type server -vserver san -serial 13DHDHSH233DJKDKD

 

Check SSL status:

ssl show

 

Create the new certificate:

security certificate create -vserver san -common-name san -size 2048 -type server -country UK -expire-days 3650 -hash-function SHA256

 

Check the certificate:

security certificate show -instance -vserver san -common-name san 

 

SSL will still show disabled:

ssl show

 

Enable SSL:

ssl modify -vserver san -server-enabled true

 

Check status again:

SSL will still show disabled:

ssl show
