Another reason is to wipe clean boot media to avoid accidental boot with wrong configuration.   I once more suggest to find someone with good NetApp experience or at least make sure to secure NetApp support during this activity. With 7-Mode it was possible to fix almost any mistake during head swap. I am not as sure with C-Mode.     ... View more

wrote: The problem is that the FAS8200 was bought without disks, I can not expand an existing cluster (because not have cluster switch) or create a new cluster (because not have additional HDD) for data migration.   You write, that root volumes from the FAS2550 system will not work on the new FAS8200 system. Is this related to the CDOT version, or because different controller models?   I understand correctly, replacement of controllers on a cluster requires a cluster re-creation? OK, sorry for confusion, I misunderstood your case. As far as I can tell it should work.

Then I'm confused even more. I'm trying to find MetroCluster Installation Express Guide (factory preinstalled) for ONTAP 9.x and it apparently does not exist at all. Does it mean that for ONTAP 9.x no factory installation is performed? But here I see factory preinstalled 2 node metrocluster using ONTAP 9.1 but switch setup matches 1-to-1 Express Guide for 8.3. Is it expected? I mean, if "small" clusters running ONTAP 9.x are continued to be setup in factory according to 8.3 procdedure then I'd also expect Express Guide to still exist and FAQ is then correct. Otherwise what's the point of factory installation if everything is supposed to be wiped out on customer site anyway? ... View more

Wrong. 9.2 supports ADP for 8200 and you can even order 8200 with ADP from factory.   As for other questions, it is not clear what root volumes you mean. It sounds like you want to migrate 2554 root volumes to 8200 which will not work and is not needed. Just add 8200 to the same cluster, migrate volumes and LIFs to it and remove 2554 from cluster. ...
