Re: Howto remove Broken disk "label version" after upgrade...

neves_jacques · ‎2011-05-13

I need some help here for this situation:

FAS2020HA running Ontap 7.3.5.1 with 2x FC shelves (DS14mk2).

New DS4243 (24x 2TB) sold with a new FAS2040HA (Ontap 8.x).

I did a hardware upgrade from FAS2020HA to the FAS2040HA.

FAS2040HA is now connected to the FC Shelves (running Ontap 7.3.5.1)

I connected later the DS4243 to the FAS2040HA (running Ontap 7.3.5.1).

When I run "sysconfig -", it reports 6 broken disk:

Any ideas howto remove Broken disks "label version" ?

Thanks.

Disks were initialized under DataONTAP 8.x; disk labels are not downward compatible, so 7.x does not recognize them. You have two options.

1. Easy one – just upgrade to 8.x. That will recognize your disks again.

2. If you absolutely need to have 7G and not 8.x – downgrade labels to 7.x. For this you will need to assemble your 2040 back as it was at delivery (disconnect DS14 and connect DS4246), boot into 8.x and follow procedure in https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=1012944.

neves_jacques · ‎2011-05-13

Thanks aborzenkov,

Unfortunately everything is back in production and some DS14mk2 shelves has been moved to a second computer room.

Data have been migrated between DS14mk2 and DS4243.

So, I can't boot back on Ontap 8.x and customer is running SnapLock also...

I'm surprised that there is now way to clean the label from Ontap 7G.

I suppose, I will have to ask for a swap disks using maintenance & warranty...

Thanks again for your support.

Have you tried to "unfail" the disks?

I know we had this problem when we went from 6.x to 7.x as well and there was a procedure for fixing labels, but I have since had occassion (moving disks from vtls back to filer heads perhaps) where this showed up and I believe I could simply unfail the disks and they got re-initialized.

neves_jacques · ‎2011-05-14

Thanks shaunjurr,

Not yet; I will try soon to "disk unfail -s"...

I will keep you informed.

neves_jacques · ‎2011-05-16

Hello,

I have just tried to do "disk unfail" without success ;-(

Here is below the output:

filer1*> disk unfail -s 0d.01.4
disk unfail -s: Disk 0d.01.4 has a bad raid label version. It will not be overwritten or formatted

neves_jacques · ‎2011-05-16

Hello,

I can not try the procedure : https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=1012944. because I don't have anymore a FAS2040HA running in Ontap 8.0.1.

I've tried to boot on the disks in Ontap 8.x but it failed because the compact flash is on 7G.

I've tried to initialize and reinstall the FAS2040HA with Ontap 8 but it failed too.

Do you know how to upgrade the compact flash from 7.3.5.1 to 8.0.1 using netboot?

Again Thanks.

JNV

aborzenkov · ‎2011-05-16

What happens if you netboot 8.x? Could you

- netboot

- Enter maintenance mode (^C – 5)

- Execute disk show –v

And give complete console output from the start?

neves_jacques · ‎2011-05-16

The system is back in production.

I have to ask for maintenance slot in order to provide the output for "disk show -v"

I can already provide you the output for "disk show" here is below:

There is no need to do “disk show –v” additionally.

Is it the same DS4243? In this case disks are apparently correctly recognized under DOT 8.0.1. So what exactly is your question now? What have you done and what did not work?

If you do not need information on this shelf, I’d now go for option 4 to reinstall DOT 8.0.1 and do revert right after that.

neves_jacques · ‎2011-05-16

Yes, it's the same DS4243.

When I boot normally the FAS2040HA on Ontap 7G I see " Broken disk label version" here below:

----------------------------------------------------

I wish to use these disks with FAS2040HA/Ontap 7G.

My question is: How to remove "Broken disks label version"?

I have already tried to reinstall DOT 8.0.1 with option 4 and to revert right after but I failed here is the output:

Have you tried to abort AUTOBOOT (message Starting AUTOBOOT press Ctrl-C to abort...) second time and netboot once more but just let it boot normally this time? There are some chances that it will continue with disks initialization. After all, it should not matter from which media NetApp was booted … hopefully ☺

aborzenkov · ‎2013-10-22

1. Put disks in system with 8.x

2. Make them spares (delete any leftover aggregates)

3. Zero spares

4. Remove disk ownership

After this you should be able to add them to any version.
