[7.3] upgrade_ownership not recognized

Hi,

Sorry if this is not the place to ask.

Has anybody an idea of what's wrong :

> priv set advanced

*> disk upgrade_ownership

disk: Did not recognize option "upgrade_ownership".

Extract of sysconfig -a :

NetApp Release 7.3: Thu Jul 24 14:34:16 PDT 2008

Model Name: FAS3020

Shelf 1: AT-FCX Firmware rev. AT-FCX A: 35 AT-FCX B: 35

We have two other filers (clusterized) with /_exactly_/ the same version 7.3 (2008) and the same shelf. The only difference is that the one above is stand-alone. And both accept command "disk show", as they are in software based ownership; that is why I think that upgrading wouldn't change anything.

Ragards,

Disk show gives output on this system? Then software ownership is already enabled and you should be good to go.

Support for online changing to software based disk ownership is available starting with 7.3.1 In 7.3 you have to boot in maintenance mode.

Thank you aborzenkov, I upgraded to 7.3.3, changed ownership, rebooted and now we do have "disk show".
