Hi everybody,

Anyone have an idea to converting a Netcache to a Filer. I have only found this (see bellow), but if anyone have more detail about

ok unsetenv netcache? to turn it off, thereby making it a filer rather than a netcache, or ok setenv netcache? to turn it back into a netcache from a filer

Do not forget to unset the _netcache variable (with underscore) Then boot with Ontap diskettes.

I just checked my notes ... forget the underscore, this was a variable I set myself :)

There was 2 variables on my C760, unset both netcache netcache?

Hope this helps

Cedric

Hi, masterlolo,

sorry below is from filer to netcache. Should be the same method.

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.

Boot the Ontap system diskettes, not Netcache :)
