IF I recall... Placing the NVRAM card in the "HA" slot will halve the NVRAM and establish a baseline for the system to think it is part of an HA pair Placing the NVRAM card in the "non-HA" will normalize everything.
However, There are going to be a number of environment variables that will need to be cleared / removed
I would suggest opening a case with NetApp before you do this. I may not be as simple as moving the card.
I *think* the BIOS command is "set-defaults" which will default EVERYTHING -> all environment variables get cleared.
That may do it and the system should boot. Please check with support to be sure.

Note that moving NVRAM means shutting down filer and this alone may clear any temporary resource shortage.

Thanks Tony, Thanks Andrei,
I was only asked to pass a quick eye over the system to spot any obvious issues. I ran Config Advisor and it came back clean with regard to cabling, etc. However, it took nearly 10 minutes for CA to complete the query and the systems I look after normally complete in 20 seconds. I then started to wonder about possible network issues in addition to the NVRAM card location.
I was mostly curious about what the impact of having the NVRAM in the wrong slot would be. My colleague is going to look at his network and move the NVRAM card and let me know if things are better. If not, I'll run a perfstat. I've never used the LatX tool so I'll be sure to check it out.
If LatX doesn't bear any fruit I'll post some statit snippets here. Hopefully I won't have to take up any of your time.
Cheers, Steve
