Enable ADP

Hello Guys

I have a storage with Ontap 9.7 p9 and I need to enable ADP. The Storage is already configured, only with Management, it does not have any configuration yet, and I have read that to enable ADP the cluster must be reinstalled again.

I have no problem reconfiguring the Storage, but I would like to know what the order of configuration is. What I have reviewed and the first thing is to enable ADP in both nodes, then once enabled, the clean must be done (option 4 of the Boot Menu)

The order I have reviewed is as follows

- Reboot node2
- Enter the Boot Menu
- Select option 9
- Then option 9a
- Then option 9b

- Restart the node

- Repeat process node 1

Enter the boot menu again node 1
- Select Option 4
- Reconfigure the cluster

Repeat process node 2 and add to cluster

Is correct the process, or is posible enable ADP without reinstall

Thanks for your comments.

you'll have to wipe the box to go to ADP.

What's the model? most ship with ADP enabled/configure.

you can see partition ownership by running "storage disk show -partition-ownership"

What's the disk config look like physically and logically ?

But yes. if you run opt 9a/b or even c. it will unpart the disks if they are and then repart them and re-init the box.

you will also need the license codes if you wipe and resetup, so make sure you have them available.
