That will trip up someone! Thanks for fixing it for me, Scott.

There is another command we sometimes need to run from the loader or cfe prompt to remove the environment variable for the partner. Otherwise the controller won't upgrade disk firmware in some cases because of a cluster dependency.

However, your tip led me to dig through the HA Configuration Guide for 8.1 7-mode and find the procedure. For the benefit of future Googlers, the procedure to properly split an HA pair into two stand-alone systems is: 1. Ensure uniform disk ownership. Use the "disk show -v" command to identify any shelves or loops which contain disks owned by both controllers. Record the information and decide which controller will own the shelf/loop. 2. Disable controller failover. Use the commands "cf disable" and "license delete cf" to disable failover. Modify the /etc/rc file to remove references to the partner node in ifconfig entries. 3. Reconfigure nodes for stand-alone operation Issue the "halt" command on both nodes.

Placing the NVRAM card in the "HA" slot will halve the NVRAM and establish a baseline for the system to think it is part of an HA pair Placing the NVRAM card in the "non-HA" will normalize everything. However, There are going to be a number of environment variables that will need to be cleared / removed I would suggest opening a case with NetApp before you do this. I may not be as simple as moving the card. I *think* the BIOS command is "set-defaults" which will default EVERYTHING -> all environment variables get cleared. That may do it and the system should boot.
