I'm about to convert a C720 to a filer. In preparation of this I'm trying to install the 2.8_a2 firmware but am getting an error message from the 'update-flash' command:
Loading /floppy:\fw.rom Can't open boot device.
The floppy drive is OK as I'm able to boot/read the NetCache floppies. At this poing I can't install either of the 2.8_a2 for F700 or the 2.8_a2 for C700 firmware.
I have 'unsetenv netcache?' and 'setenv netcache? false' at the OK> prompt but the error persists.
Any ideas what is wrong ?
Thx, George

Model is C760 (700 series). Netapp system board V.
The problem is why the server accept only netcache license and not nfs license ? Thanks,

What Model Appliance ? if 7xx series, tel me what system board version it is. Open the chassis and pull forward, then look on the motherboard at the back and you should see something like "SYSTEM BOARD V or V or VII" let me know what model it is. One you can, another you can with difficulty and one you cant.

Hi all,
I have replace the HS battery, now the system is ok, but after each initialize all disk the server tell me that i must enter a valid license. As if the server do not reconize my valid license for NFS or CIFS !!! but if I enter a license for netcache, the system valid it but the installation is a netcache system !!!
Someone can help me about it ? Maybe jumper on motherboard ??
Thanks, Laurent.

Hi all,
I have unset netcache by this command : ok unsetenv netcache ok setenv netcache? false
I have check environnement : ok printenv Variable Name Value Default Value netcache? false
That's ok at this point. I boot on DATA ONTAP Diskettes, and choose " (4) Initialize all disks
" at
the menu : Zero disks and install a new file system? y This will erase all the data on the disks, are you sure? y Zeroing disks takes about 15 minutes.....
I enter some configuration information (as hostname, ip...) & i am
stopped
by " Please enter your license: " I have tested to enter a valid license for nfs, cifs : " You must
enter a
valid system license " I have tested to enter a valid license for netcache : that's ok (but
after I
have a system problem : low battery and the system shutdown !) So I would like to know if it's right to enter netcache license to
convert
netcache in filer ?? Do must change the netcache firmware to filer firmware ??
Thanks for your help, Laurent.
