Hello.
Is it possible to convert from ASA to AFF personality? We need to test also NAS protocols.
Thank you!

Solved! See The Solution
Switching personalities of a system (FAS, AFF, ASA AFF) is not supported.

With the assistance of a script and NetApp TME or Professional Services resources, you can convert existing AFF SAN clusters to ASA personalities without needing to migrate data.
Just note that starting 9.12.1 , the AFF to ASA conversion is no longer available (& starting 9.13.1 ASA will be shipped as new platform with unique model string).
