Hello,
Our hot spares filer, running 5.1.2, won't boot up all the way this AM
after a pretty nasty power outage last night. It says:
Warning: previous shutdown was dirty, there is possible loss of data.
dumping core....
ok
First reboot it dumped core, next it says core is already there.
The support site says that we need to contact NetApps for a procedure to
recover the file systems and that is about it. The manuals we have are
pretty much silent on this problem.
Is there anything we can do to recover or just start from scratch (zero
disks, reload -- which I can do since this is a spares machine)?
I figure this would be a good problem to try and resolve in case we see
it on our production filer.
Pointers, guidance are much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan O'Brien, dmobrien@lcsi.net
