Gents,

My Google-fu is exhausted.  I am trying to use disks from an 8.1.3 system in a 7.3.7 filer.  I am aware of the disk label problem and I have tried the half-dozen step process (documented in several places) for re-labeling the drives.   I'm not able to wipe the label from the drives due to the following:

*> label wipe 0a.17
Error: label wipe not permitted as the disk has a bad RAID version.

*>label makespare 0a.17
*********************************************************
Label editing is highly dangerous and should be attempted
ONLY by NetApp Customer Support Engineers.
Misuse can cause ALL data to be permanently lost.
*********************************************************
'Label save': Error while trying to save Label 1 on disk 0a.17: error 15.


I get this in both diag mode and when booted into maintenance mode.  Any ideas?
