If your ESXi host was configured for SAN boot before transition from Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, you must perform several steps before using the host after transition.
About this task
- For copy-based transitions, perform these steps before initiating the Storage Cutover operation in the 7MTT.
- For copy-free transitions, perform these steps before initiating the Export & Halt 7-Mode Systems operation in the 7MTT.
Procedure
-
Reconfigure your FC and FCoE HBA BIOS to boot from the SAN boot LUN of the clustered Data ONTAP system.
- Boot the ESXi host.
- Reset the host configurations to the pretransition settings.
- For iSCSI hosts, see how to reconfigure your VMware iSCSI initiator.
- Remount the VMFS datastores created from the boot LUN in the default installation.
