5. Close the air duct:
a. Rotate the air duct downward.
b. Slide the air duct toward the risers until it clicks into place.
Step 3: Transfer the boot image to the boot media
The replacement boot media that you installed is without a boot image so you need to
transfer a boot image using a USB flash drive.
Before you begin
• 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.
Steps
1. Download and copy the appropriate service image from the NetApp Support Site to the USB flash drive.
a. Download the service image to your work space on your laptop.
b. Unzip the service image.
NOTE: If you are extracting the contents using Windows, do not use WinZip to extract the netboot
image. Use another extraction tool, such as 7-Zip or WinRAR.
There are two folders in the unzipped service image file:
+
▪
boot
▪
efi
c. Copy the efi folder to the top directory on the USB flash drive.
The USB flash drive should have the efi folder and the same Service Image (BIOS) version of what the
impaired controller is running.
d. Remove the USB flash drive from your laptop.
2. If you have not already done so, close the air duct:
a. Swing the air duct all the way down to the controller module.
b. Slide the air duct toward the risers until the locking tabs click into place.
c. Inspect the air duct to make sure that it is properly seated and locked into place.
