I’ve had this before, spent ages messing with it then I dropped the discs into a spare chassis running 7.3 and ran a full system wipe on it and all was well iirc.

 

Obviously only useful info if you have  a spare head…. FAS250/270 is perfect for the job if you’re talking DS14 discs….

Subject: DOT 8.1 disk in a DOT 7.3 filer

 

Gents,

 

My Google-fu is exhausted.  I am trying to use disks from an 8.1.3 system in a 7.3.7 filer.  I am aware of the disk label problem and I have tried the half-dozen step process (documented in several places) for re-labeling the drives.   I'm not able to wipe the label from the drives due to the following:

 

*> label wipe 0a.17

Error: label wipe not permitted as the disk has a bad RAID version.

 

*>label makespare 0a.17

*********************************************************

Label editing is highly dangerous and should be attempted

ONLY by NetApp Customer Support Engineers.

Misuse can cause ALL data to be permanently lost.

*********************************************************

'Label save': Error while trying to save Label 1 on disk 0a.17: error 15.

 

 

I get this in both diag mode and when booted into maintenance mode.  Any ideas?
