Hi
We have a need to recover some data which was stored on a StoreVault S550. We have all the disks from the original system and a spare S550 chassis. Unfortunately, we don't have the CF card from the original system but the spare chassis still has its original CF card and we have licenses for the protocols required on the spare.
Does anyone have any insights as to how we can accomplish this? I'm hoping it will be as easy as booting the spare chassis to maintenance mode and changing ownership of the disks and then booting from vol0 on the newly found aggregate.
We're a little nervous to just try it without some guidance in case there's any chance that the new controller might do something drastic to the "foreign" disks. We're obviously out of other options if we're considering this path...
Finally, Netapp have taken down the old KB which provided the procedure for a chassis swap (KB42667) and unfortunately I don't have a copy anywhere. I don't think it quite covered our scenario but if anyone has a copy and can forward it, I would be grateful!
Kind regards Steve
