Step 3: Transfer the boot image to the boot media
The replacement boot media that you installed is without a boot image so you need to transfer a boot image
using a USB flash drive.
• You must have a USB flash drive, formatted to MBR/FAT32, with at least 4GB capacity
• A copy of the same image version of ONTAP as what the impaired controller was running. You can
download the appropriate image from the Downloads section on the NetApp Support Site
◦ If NVE is enabled, download the image with NetApp Volume Encryption, as indicated in the download
