PANIC: raid: there are no data or parity disks in SK process rc on release 8.2P6

GuyV — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:40:50 GMT

Hi All,

i hope really somebody can help me.

I'm really new in Netapp and hope that someone will/can help me.

I have an FAS2240-2

He boot but then i have PANIC: raid: there are no data or parity disks in SK process rc on release 8.2P6

And then i receive Loader A prompt.

I googled ofcourse and they told me to use option 4a but on my version there is no 4a only 4

After hours he cleaned up the disks but i think there is something with the disk label and i must crate mroot partion or something.

But what i do i comes always back with the same error.

Can someone help me please with this

i must create an root partition i think but dont know how to do and select disks to use.

Here is an print screen of the error

thank you

So just to confirm, you're trying to configure this as a new Cluster system?

Hello, It's seem like you have a disk problem ...

Could you boot again and @ the CTRL+C menu request quick press CTRL + C

And after choose Mainteance boot and after try a

disk show

sysconfig -r

aggr status

Thanks

Re: PANIC: raid: there are no data or parity disks in SK process rc on release 8.2P6

SpindleNinja — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 17:40:57 GMT

I would do something like this.

1. Boot in to Maint mode (opt 5) and delete everything, existing volumes, aggrs, disk ownership.

2. If you can, I would first upgrade it up to at least 8.3 (if not 9.1Px) before you do the opt 4, you will get to use ADP. You can do this via Boot Menu Opt 7, Note: you will need a basic network setup on e0M to get the image.

4. Run option 4.

note: is this the kb you're talking about?

I don't believe this applies to your config.

SpindleNinja — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 21:33:40 GMT

per the output in the OP he's on: NetApp Data ONTAP 8.2P6 Cluster-Mode

If you want ADP, you will NEED to reinitilize on 8.3 or higher.

Guy, give this link a read over.

Re: PANIC: raid: there are no data or parity disks in SK process rc on release 8.2P6

cedric_renauld — Sun, 31 Mar 2019 21:35:17 GMT

Yes

The best way for you is to install, the two controler with an dummy conf

Jsut to made an upgrade in 8.3

After you can back to the loager and broke all to install ADP

It's Ok for you ?
