There are still two issues with DataOnTap 5.2.1 though:
- It allows two different volumes with the same name to exist on the system.
I had a similar situation just yesterday. I have four new filers (with 5.2.3 installed), each with a single disk shelf. Being adventurous, I hook all four shelves to a single filer. It boots up and makes all sorts of noise about mismatched NVRAM serial numbers and having to deal with *four* volumes, all named vol0, and all trying to be root volumes.
I forget what I did exactly, but disk_erase_label was in there, as well as renaming the real vol0 volume to something else, "exposing" the other vol0's underneath. I could then "vol offline" and "vol destroy" the foreign drives.
