Which NOW site utility can be used to determine the Data ONTAP version in which a bug has been fixed?

• A. AutoSupport
• B. Bugs Online
• C. NetApp Diagnostics
• D. Release Comparison

Answer: (B)

Locating the exact Data ONTAP version that contains a bug fix is done by checking Bugs Online on the NOW site. Bugs Online is NetApp’s official bug database, and each bug record lists the products affected along with the version in which the fix was included (often shown in a Fixed In or Resolution field). By searching for the bug ID or a symptoms keyword, you can see the minimum ONTAP version that includes the fix and any related patch levels.

AutoSupport is for collecting and sending diagnostic data to NetApp to assist with support cases; it doesn’t tell you which ONTAP version fixed a particular bug. NetApp Diagnostics is a local tool for gathering diagnostics and troubleshooting issues on a system, not for tracking bug fix versions. Release Comparison shows what changes are included in different releases at a high level, but it isn’t as precise for identifying the exact version where a specific bug was fixed.

So, Bugs Online is the right place to determine the Data ONTAP version in which a bug has been fixed.
