Fail to Configure ADP in NetApp FAS2720

Hi,

I'm trying to configure Advanced Drive Partitioning (ADP) on my NetApp storage nodes running ONTAP 9.15.1P15.

I followed the boot menu steps as per the documentation:

(9a) Destroy aggregates, unpartition all disks and remove their ownership information.
(9b) Clean configuration and initialize node with partitioned disks.
(9c) Clean configuration and initialize node with whole disks.
(9d) Reboot the node.
(9e) Return to main boot menu.
(9f) Remove disk ownership.

I executed option 9a on both nodes successfully, but when I proceed with option 9b, it fails with the following message:

Option (9a) MUST BE COMPLETED on BOTH nodes in an HA pair (and DR/DR-AUX partner nodes if applicable)
prior to starting option (9b).

Has option (9a) been completed on all the nodes (yes/no)? yes

It is mandatory to perform 9a before choosing 9b or 9c,
please return back to the menu and perform 9a.

Rebooting to clear all env variables due to a 9b failure..Terminated

I have repeated the process multiple times, confirming that option 9a was completed on both nodes, but the same issue persists.

Can anyone please assist or advise what could be causing this failure?

I’ve never had this fail as you describe

option 9a on first node

wait for it to finish and return to prompt

option 9a on second node

wait for it to finish and return to prompt

option 9b on first node

wait for it to get to the ONTAP license screen to start cluster setup

option 9b on second node
