FAS2040 stuck in loop, won't boot

Hello,

I'm very new to NetApp and have very limited knowledge, so go easy.

Basically I am trying to re-IP the second head of our FAS2040. The first head ran setup fine, however head two gets stuck in some kind of loop that I can't seem to break.

I've been looking around and I can see that there is a command to factory reset the filer but I can't get to the CLI to be able to do this. (I am using a console cable).

I've also tried doing things from the partner by using cf takeover -f but certain commands cannot be invoked in takeover

I do get some kind of error saying that it can't write to /etc/hosts.new

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks Joe
