Is there no error message showing prior to "Root aggregate creation failed."?

Are you booting the nodes one by one, so they don't interfere each other? 

Do you have enough disks in the system according to the minimum configuration for ADP in HWU.NETAPP.COM ?

I'd open a support case for this if you're stuck.

 

Did the PS engineer not set this up for you? It should have had Data ONTAP preinstalled and ready to go. You may need to do a 9 on the 1-9 boot menu.

 

If you are stuck at loader, you can type "boot_ontap" and see what it says.

YEs , sure

 

You have also a disk issue :

Problem disks: 0b.00.1

 

You can try to boot in maintenance to check your disks
