In a scenario where a Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) instance lacks outbound network connectivity to send AutoSupport messages, BlueXP (formerly known as NetApp Cloud Manager) will automatically configure the Connector as the proxy server for AutoSupport. The Connector serves as a bridge between the customer's environment and NetApp cloud services, facilitating communication and data transfer, including AutoSupport messages, when direct connectivity is unavailable.

Page blob is a type of storage in Azure, not related to network functions.

Mediator and Collector are not standard terms used within NetApp for describing components involved in managing or proxying AutoSupport messages.

BlueXP's configuration to use the Connector as a proxy ensures that all monitoring and telemetry data crucial for the health and performance diagnostics of the CVO instance are relayed effectively, even in environments with restrictive outbound network policies. More details on this setup can be explored in the BlueXP or Cloud Volumes ONTAP documentation available on NetApp's website.
