Was the VM hardware version upgraded? This same behaviour will occur starting around vm hardware version 11.

I did not upgrade hardware. Any solution I can power on back netapp

From the loader prompt run this command and post the output:

lsdev

Drive A is missing. Add a floppy drive to the VM, and connect a blank floppy image. Then see if it will come up.

The fat16 volume is expected to be on disk1s2.

I added floppy drive in VM.

Netapp can boot up
