You could try booting into Maintenance mode (ctrl+c during startup) and then selecting option 4a which is “initialize all disks and create a flexible root volume” or something similar (assuming it’s ONTAP 7). Once this is done it will boot into ONTAP but this is not a full version, so you just need to do an ONTAP “upgrade” to it to get all the right files on there. Your config and licenses will be lost so you’ll need to re-enter them.

Subject: How to create a new filer

Hi all,

Having just changed out our FAS250's for FAS270's, and utilised the old 250 as a shelf on the 270. I have been left with the processor and licenses for a FAS250.

The question is, if I buy a DS14Mk2 shelf full of disks, and put the processor in the new shelf, how would I get this to become a filer once again as there will be no Root volume

Does anyone know all the steps involved, or can someone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks

Matt
