Trying to get a few netapps ready for putting them up for sale, and one of them I had lost the password. I booted from floppy, but used a wrong version of OnTap (or something else went horribly wrong, not sure which), and the system complains about "no data or parity disks" and lists every drive as broken. I somehow doubt all 28 drives suddenly broke, so I'm wondering how I flag a drive as not broken again, so I can zero out the array and start over. (I remember knowing this at one point, on some hidden maintenance menu.)
Any tips would be appreciated.
And note to self: disable "return receipts" before posting to the mailing list. Sorry if I caused any inconvenience to folks, but I promise you, I paid for it. There sure are a lot of you out there :-). (I would have thought the mailing list software would have stripped return receipt requests, but oh well.)
Thanks folks.

There sure are a lot of you out there J. (I would have thought the mailing list software would have stripped return receipt requests, but oh well…)
