Marcus,

I had just this problem and also was sent a second flash card. In my case (to my shame!) I had the card in upside down!

The extender is keyed to fit only one way but the card can fit into the extender either way. The instructions do not cover this and even NetApp support had to go and look at a filer to see.

So, the card needs to go in with the label "NetApp CompactFlash" upwards. In my case, putting it in upside down didn't damage it.

Hi Toasters,

I have a cluster F880 upgrading the 32MB to 256MB CF. I upgraded one Filer to the 256MB without any problem. The other, I having major problems. Twice already, Netapp sent me a new 256MB CF, thinking it must be bad from the manufacturer. The third time, the CF reader, PCMCIA extender and CF was replace, but still the Filer can't see it. I reinserted the old 32MB still using the new reader and PCMCIA and it worked fine.

I also tried "bootfs format 0a.0:3: SERVICE" and get error "Device not configured".

ONTAP info:
Filer> version -b
1:/x86/kernel/primary.krn: OS 6.5.1R1
1:/x86/diag/diag.krn: Diagnostic_4.3
1:/x86/firmware/xfiler/firmware.img: Firmware 4.3_i2
1:/x86/firmware/rodan/firmware.img: Firmware 4.3_i1

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
