You can replace a failed boot media manually by using USB module for the boot image or through the automated boot media recovery (BMR) option.

  • Automated boot media recovery

    Automated boot media recovery uses the boot image from the partned node and automatically runs the appropriate boot menu option to install the boot image to the replacement boot media.

  • Manual boot media replace

    Manual boot media replace uses the traditional method of downloading the ONTAP image from the NetApp support site, transferring the image to a USB drive, downloading it to the target replacement boot media, and manually walking through the boot menu options to install the ONTAP image on the replacement boot media.
