You can access support options in Cloud Insights by clicking on Help > Support. The support options available to you depend on whether you are in Trial mode or Subscription mode.
Cloud Insights offers self-service and email support when running in trial mode. Once you have subscribed to the service, it is strongly recommended that you activate support entitlement. Activating support entitlement enables you to access technical support over the online chat, the web ticketing system, and the phone. The default support mode is self-service until registration is completed. See details below.
During the initial subscription process, your Cloud Insights instance will generate a 20-digit NetApp serial number starting with "950". This NetApp serial number represents the Cloud Insights subscription associated with your account. You must register the NetApp serial number to activate support entitlement. We offer two options for support registration:
-
User with pre-existing NetApp Support Site (NSS) SSO account (e.g. current NetApp customer)
-
New NetApp customer with no pre-existing NetApp Support Site (NSS) SSO account
-
Navigate to the NetApp registration website https://register.netapp.com
-
Select “I am already registered as NetApp Customer” and choose Cloud Insights as the Product Line. Select your Billing Provider (NetApp or AWS) and provide your Serial Number and your NetApp Subscription Name or AWS Customer ID by referring to the “Help > Support” menu within the Cloud Insights user interface:
-
Complete the Existing Customer Registration form and click Submit.
-
If no errors occur, user will be directed to a “Registration Submitted Successfully” page. The email address associated with the NSS SSO username used for registration will receive an email within a couple minutes stating “your product is now eligible for support”.
-
This is a onetime registration for the Cloud Insights NetApp serial number.
Option 2: Steps for a new NetApp customer with no pre-existing NetApp Support Site (NSS) SSO account
-
Navigate to the NetApp registration website https://register.netapp.com
-
Select “I am not a registered NetApp Customer” and complete the required information in example form below:
-
Select Cloud Insights as the Product Line. Select your Billing Provider (NetApp or AWS) and provide your Serial Number and your NetApp Subscription Name or AWS Customer ID by referring to the “Help > Support” menu within the Cloud Insights user interface:
-
If no errors occur, user will be directed to a “Registration Submitted Successfully” page. The email address associated with the NSS SSO username used for registration will receive an email within a few hours stating “your product is now eligible for support”.
-
As a new NetApp customer, you will also need to create a NetApp Support Site (NSS) user account for future registrations and access to support portal for technical support chat and web ticketing. This link is located at https://mysupport.netapp.com/eservice/public/now.do. You can provide your newly registered Cloud Insights serial number to expedite the process.

This is a one-time registration for the Cloud Insights NetApp serial number.
NetApp provides support for Cloud Insights in a variety of ways. Extensive free self-support options are available 24x7, such as knowledgebase (KB) articles or the NetApp community. For users who are subscribed to any of the Cloud Insights Editions (Basic, Standard, Premium), technical support is available via phone or web ticketing. A NetApp Support Site (NSS) SSO account is required for web ticket along with case management.
These support options are available in Trial mode and are available for free 24x7:
