Check to see if the battery attached to your NVram is still alive. The ram is probably ok. The battery probably died.

Upon initialising disks my NetApp displays the following:

Is my NVRAM defective?

Could be. Run standalone diagnostics. I had trouble with my spare parts filer and found that I needed to carefully reseat the NVRAM and then all the

problems disappeared. I hope you shutdown cleanly, otherwise you may have scrambled eggs. My spare parts filer lost all its disk information and I had to reload it. Lost everything.

You might want to contact NetApp.
