PDFs
This workflow uses a USB drive to reinstall ONTAP onto the replacement boot media in your FAS70 or FAS90 system. Download the appropriate ONTAP recovery image from the NetApp Support Site, copy it to the USB drive, and use it to restore the system to operational status.
If your system is running in ONTAP 9.17.1 and later, use the automatic boot recovery procedure.
To get started, review the recovery requirements, shut down the controller, replace the boot media, use the USB drive to restore the image, and reapply encryption settings if necessary.
Review the requirements for replacing the boot media.
Determine whether the system has security key manager enabled or encrypted disks.
Shut down the controller when you need to replace the boot media.
Remove the failed boot media from the System Management module and install the replacement boot media, and then transfer an ONTAP image using a USB flash drive.
Boot the ONTAP image from the USB drive, restore the file system, and verify the environmental variables.
Restore the onboard key manager configuration or the external key manager from the ONTAP boot menu.
Return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit.
