Only certain types of SAN boot LUNs are supported for transition from Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode to clustered Data ONTAP.
The following SAN boot LUNs are supported for transition:
FC or FCoE SAN boot LUNs
iSCSI SAN boot LUNs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
Transition of iSCSI SAN boot LUNs for RHEL 5.x is not supported.
