One of our resellers got motherboard replacement from NetApp and their F740
started to think that it is NetCache. I spent almost whole day on solving
this problem and only found that unsetenv netache? did the trick only for
DOT 5.3.x. After upgrade to newer system it again become NetCache. They
solved this problem by opening techsupp case with NetApp and got another
mainboard. Fortunately it was a demo system...
