Cautions When Using System-Level Diagnosis
Do not perform a system-level diagnosis (the diagnosis function executed using the "boot_diags"
command on the LOADER prompt) if the version of ONTAP in the ETERNUS AX4100/AX4100 ASA or
the ETERNUS HX6100 is earlier than 9.7 P12.
Doing so may corrupt the data on the boot device and prevent the system from booting.
If this occurs, the boot device must be replaced.
Cautions about Encrypting the Root Volume of a Node
In ONTAP 9.8 and later, Volume Encryption can be used to protect the root volume of a node, but
the root volume cannot be decrypted once encrypted.
To revert an encrypted root volume to an unencrypted root volume, the ETERNUS AX/AC/HX needs
to be set up again.
