Converting 7-mode filer to cluster-mode filer

Hi All,

I have fas2040 filer in 7-mode but need to test some API calls for cluster-mode filers and I am looking for ways to do that.

I have found out that it is possible to convert filer from 7-mode to cluster-mode but it seems that with my credentials I don't have authorization to access KB, where the flow is described.

If anyone could advice where to look for it or provide any documentation I would be very grateful.

But I have a few concerns here - is backward conversion (from cluster to 7-mode) possible or I will loose 7-mode forever?

Is there any other way to make some API calls to cluster-mode filer?

Thank you very much anyone for help.

Regards,

Hasmik

If you are looking for how to convert a 7-mode filer to Clustered ONTAP (cDOT) checkout the following KB article:
