Option 2: Transfer the boot image to the boot media using a USB flash drive
This procedure should only be used if the secondary boot media restore failed or if the
image.tgz file is not found on the secondary boot media.
• You must have a USB flash drive, formatted to FAT32, with at least 4GB capacity.
• A copy of the same image version of ONTAP as what the impaired controller was running. You can
download the appropriate image from the Downloads section on the NetApp Support Site
◦
If NVE is enabled, download the image with NetApp Volume Encryption, as indicated in the download
button.
◦
If NVE is not enabled, download the image without NetApp Volume Encryption, as indicated in the
download button.
• If your system is an HA pair, you must have a network connection.
• If your system is a stand-alone system you do not need a network connection, but you must perform an
additional reboot when restoring the var file system.
