FAS 3240 / DS2246 configuration issue

CGandvfx — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:33:11 GMT

Hi everyone!

I recently bought a used Netapp FAS 3240 and an empty disk shelf DS2246 from eBay. I wanted to set it up from scratch to learn how to configure storage systems. I attached 6 drives of HUC109060css600 (600GB 10K SAS made for IBM). FAS 3240 is connected to DS2246 through QSFP-QSPF cable on 0a. I ran the systems for the first time and went through the option (4) Clean configuration and initialize all disks. Data ONTAP version is 8.0.5 7- mode. I got the error message " PANIC: ../driver/disk/disk.c:22047: Assertion failure. in SK process disk_admin". System is keep booting , then I select maintenance mode boot: below is the results of disk show and sysconfig -v and aggr status commands

No root aggregate or root traditional volume found.
You must specify a root aggregate or traditional volume with
"aggr options <name> root" before rebooting the system.

Do I need Netapp oem drives ? Is there any way I can configure this storage system from scratch? vol and aggr commands

are unable to run !

Thanks in advance!

as you already mentioned. you need NetApp drives. Without that you will not be able to boot the system.
