I wish the old machine still existed so
that I could zero the old drive on that machine. That would sure help!
Even in priv set diag I don’t see
the disk_erase_label command. The bad drive is 7.54. What would be the syntax
for the command and what priv would I have to use to execute it? I hope I don’t
do something horrible and erase all the disklabels or something.
Am I looking in the wrong place? How do I
use the “ok” at the boot prompt?

firmware on NetApp drives
Hi,
Thats not a firmware problem thats the
disk label.
Essentially the disk was removed from a
filer running a later version of OnTap so the version of OnTap in the
filer thats trying to read it can't understand it.
Theres two possible ways of fixing it
(that I know of, one of the gurus might no a better way)
1) Put the disk back in the old system (or
a system running a later version of OnTap) and then zero the disk
2) Reboot the filer and use the label
erase command (I might be rmisrmembering the actual command..it's documented on
Now) which is a command from the Ok prompt

Subject: downgrading the firmware
on NetApp drives
I found a 36GB NetApp drive for my f740 with FC9 shelves and
when I put it in the machine, it said:
Tue May 23 19:14:07 EDT [raid.assim.disk.badlabelversion:error]: The label on
disk 7.54 (S/N 3CD0FN3X000021098HUD) is a newer version than that supported by
this software. Either remove the disk or upgrade the system software.
Of course, the disk_fw_update command didn’t work
because the versio of the firmware is NEWER than what’s supported by my
OS (Data Ontap 6.4.4p7). How does one go aboot DOWNGRADING the firmware
on a NetApp drive?
