We have decommissioned all of our NetApp H610s-4 nodes since they are coming up eol for support. We wanted to use them in a test/dev environment as ESXi hosts with vSan. Sadly, after removing these and the MNodes we discovered we cannot use the drives in these systems. They appear to be locked. I tried several ways to try unlocking the drives with nvme-cli and other similar tools but I have not come across a way to unlock them. Our maintenance support has lapsed so I cannot download the Element Software to try RTFI and I cannot log into Ember directly since the MNode is offline.
Are there any known methods or nvme-cli commands that work to unlock these drives? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
