Attention: The NVRAM LED blinks while destaging contents to the flash memory when you halt
the system. After the destage is complete, the LED turns off.
– If power is lost without a clean shutdown, the NVMEM LED flashes until the destage is
complete, and then the LED turns off.
– If the LED is on and power is on, unwritten data is stored on NVMEM. This typically occurs
during an uncontrolled shutdown after ONTAP has successfully booted.
