Any particular gotchas with downgrading or upgrading a new ha pair with SED drives to the correct cluster ontap version out of the box, better to unprotect disks first? Had read something about being careful with option 4 for repurposing etc.

They need to be unlocked before re-init

eh crap, my bad.

#

Check to see if there are keys ->
::>storage encryption disk show
Set to zero ->
::*>storage encryption disk modify -disk * -fips-key-id 0x0

::>storage encryption disk modify -disk * -data-key-id 0x0

#

if it was wiped without unlocking. support call is needed.

We dont have the system yet but I am envisaging a downgrade when we get them, just not sure what state they are in out of the box, guessing the keys will be st to 0x0 based on the above

#

oh, easier then. if it's net new. nothing to worry about. it'll be 0x0

#

use boot opt 7 on the new system on each node to do the ontap image install.

I presume no issues with adp and these drives?

SED drives in general? no.
ADP version and partition sizes for specific plaform models and ONTAP versions can be found on HWU.

#

if you want to ADP/unADP boot option 9/a/b/c
